VIDEO: Oakland Liquor Store Clerks Fight Back Against Aggressive Thief Whom Cops Ignored.

Onlookers can be heard in the background of the video saying the clerks were being too aggressive over a few bottles of alcohol, but the workers said it was at least the third time the same man had targeted their store.

“It doesn’t feel good, but something has to be done. Otherwise it gets worse and worse,” Eraja said.

Store workers said police don’t respond to this kind of petty crime, so they took matters into their own hands. . . .

Eraja also displayed surveillance video of an armed robbery of the store from two years ago, saying police investigators never took it as evidence when he offered.
