(NEW YORK POST) – Police and law enforcement experts in California are arguing that the term “looting” shouldn’t be used to describe the recent large-scale thefts in California because it has racial connotations.
Despite dozens of stores and businesses across California being ransacked over the weekend in a brazen crime spree, some authorities seem more concerned over language, insisting it should be described as “organized robberies” instead.
According to a report Tuesday by local ABC affiliate KGO, the large-scale thefts seen over the weekend aren’t considered looting under the California Penal Code.
“The penal code defines looting as ‘theft or burglary … during a ‘state of emergency,’ ‘local emergency,’ or ‘evacuation order’ resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or manmade disaster,’” the report said.
