Connecticut Grocers Want Increased Police Presence.

The Connecticut Food Association is asking towns to increase local police presence in their members’ grocery stores. Citing “altercations in store parking lots and unruly behavior in a handful of our stores” the association requests that municipal police chiefs “encourage police officers to come into stores and meet with local local owners and store managers who are on the front lines of seeing Connecticut” fed in these unsettling times.

Police in store parking lots would also help, according to the association. Or people could be polite in and out of grocery stores. We must not descend into a state of nature over pasta, ground beef, and toilet paper.
