Chili police force should forget about the looters and go where they are needed most.?

Of course they should. A natural national disaster is just cause for people to gang together and plunder the weaker. I'm sure the people looting from the owners of these businesses are seeing the stolen items are being distributed evenly and fairly not being hoarded for the strong.

My only concern is without power what are they doing with the fridgs, stereos and electronics that are being taken.

Get real come out of your protective bubble.

The Chili police are too busy enforcing the beans or no beans law.

As for what the police down there in Chile should do after the earthquakes.....couldn't care less. That's their business.

Your sense of reality is warped. What about the owner of the grocery store, who worked hard to get where he is, has a family to feed and relies on that grocery store to support himself and his family. Who pays for the trashed grocery store? Who pays for the broken windows and stolen merchandise?

Looting and rioting creates violence and crime, people get hurt, people die, crimes are committed etc. The job of the police is to restore order and stop crime, they are not doctors or nurses.

i disagree...i think there should be a balance..definitely more effort towards medical aid, but some law enforcement provides a disincentive to steal, which prevents violence and leads to a quicker recovery.
