That was a perfect opportunity for the cops to strong arm those employess. no need to get their superiors involved. the cops coulda made a deal with them where they could continue to get free food at that joint or skim off some cash, or else the cops were gonna bring them in.

i know, crooked cops are bad. but the more crooked they are, the closer to our side theyll be. and that just generally puts us, *the perps* in a better position to later, down the line, either continue business as usual, or take down the cops with us when we get busted. tactics, strategy, we need to get organised. i should become a mob boss.
