#Robbery #PostalWorkers #Crime
This is an alarming sign because most citizens understand that a crime against a postal worker is a federal crime. This means criminals are becoming emboldened and are showing less fear to the law and order.
🤣 you are confused, they know they untouchable and federal crimes to can be lowered to a misdemeanor
Surprised they didn’t mention it being a federal crime
You work for N.Y Times or something captain obvious?
That's because we don't practice the death penalty as often. Image the death penalty enforced and televise every execution, I believe crimes will be reduced by 80% in America.
Years of democrat rule showing them that crime is not punished.
Protect the mail carriers with the same laws / punishments that apply to messing with a cop.
Ppl don't mess with cops cause they have guns, nobody cares about the law until they're caught.
They do have increased penalties.. it’s a federal crime
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what punishment to apply when they are not caught, especially when they are willing to open fire on an unarmed carrier.
I am sure it is being debated in the federal level, either arm the carrier with non-lethal device, a gun, or body cam. I am sure several states already know their answer.
It suppose to be. The postal service has their own FBI agents to handle these as felonies.
Let’s just give them ARs
Years ago, I worked for the USPS (enjoyed the work) & was once told by a supervisor if someone attempts to rob you, "Just faint. Let them have the mail. Not worth your life." It never happened to me, but a colleague was pistol whipped in a public parking lot while having lunch & they stole his mail. Postal Inspectors (police) were on it & caught the thief.
Terrible advice. Comply. Run, find distance. Fight if you must, never go to a secondary location. No exceptions.
You guys should be able to work with a firearm. This is actually insane
@@mdb1010 Yeah, the 5% who can handle it. If you knew more carriers you might think otherwise.
@@ArmchairRamb0 they should maybe have training and pass a class to be able to?
@@mdb1010 As a long island usps employee my superiors who work in the hub are hostile. I have been wearing a diaper for 5 yrs now
I bet most of the attackers have a prior violent crime history. Harsher penalties on violent crimes!
Federal crimes give better confinement
@@MrMadbrowncow how so? Thought y'all said the feds were/ are "corrupt" 🙄 and why aren't you whining about a group you think controls everything. Your other comments are proof of my accusations.
@Martin Murphy What's the acronym stand for?
WOKE feds. Baby Mamas. Progressive city leaders. Since 2020 Riot for Criminals, the crime wave continues to grow. And they keep voting for the same leaders in these cities. Chicago going the path of Detroit.
@Martin Murphy you can't be stating the obvious, when they showed non blk people as well.
Messing with the USPS is a federal crime. When these criminals are caught, they will face federal charges. Doing this to a postal worker is absolutely shameful!
No. Collaborators deserve whatever they get.
@@KILLCOLONIALISM??
Federal crime doesn’t mean worse than state crime. Federal misdemeanors aren’t worse than state felonies
They won't be prosecuted in bidens America
Pointing a gun at anybody is a federal crime.
Robbing or assaulting a postal employee on their route should be a federal crime. Remember the good old days when the mail man’s worst fear was the dog down the street?
Back in the day if you did anything to USPS carriers you'd go to prison for 10 years. Now the liberals made it a misdemeanor
It is a Federal Crime.
It is a federal crime punishment is like 20 years in federal prison if caught.
So you don't remember that police were using dogs against civilians during those "good old days"? 🙄
Yup. It is a federal offense. They are risking biiiiiiiig time.
I thought mail theft was a federal crime where is the FBI?
Thank you!! I was just asking the same thing!!!
Depends on the state. It is a misdemeanor in Cali

Louis DeJoy is serving as the 75th U.S. postmaster general. He was appointed in May 2020 during the tRump administration. DeJoy has served as a major donor and fundraiser for a number of high-profile Republican Party politicians. In fact, he donated $1.2 million each to tRump's 2020 campaign and to the Republican Party since 2016. Upon assuming office in June 2020, he instituted a 10-year plan for the USPS that eliminated overtime, banned late or additional trips to deliver mail, decommissioned hundreds of high-speed mail-sorting machines, and removed some mail collection boxes from streets. The changes caused significant delays for mail delivery and resulted in investigations by congressional committees and the USPS inspector general. The changes took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, raising fears that the changes would interfere with voters who used mail-in voting to cast their ballots. He needs to be removed from this position.
It is responsibility by US Postal police.
Postermaster general appointed by trump change the rules that they don't do patrols or ridealongs anymore to protect postal workers from attacks like that.
He is just like all republicans pro crime.
What do you expect when the only charges for a 14 & 17 year old is trespass of a vehicle, after stealing a car, high speed running a red light, T-boning a pickup truck & killing a 6 month old baby. Criminals are on our streets because they are not prosecuted properly.
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM..IS A JOKE..THE THUGS RUNS THE STREETS

This country is insane.
You act like you've never witnessed the end of a civilization before.
Young violent black men, that's the perpetrator of ninety-plus percent of crime in America. And these thugs Democrats support.
More guns will solve this. Right guys?
@@scottmac-cheeserae4531 Less bleks would solve it
@@asianconnection7701 Do something about it then
There needs to be an added tracking device incorporated in these keys. When someone is caught with one, they need to face long hard sentences. It's very discouraging to see so many young men taking up a life of crime. Not sure if they have given up due to below living wages, lack of good opportunities, drug addiction or something else. I wonder if their was an increase in crime after the last pandemic or if other countries are seeing the same behavior as we are after this pandemic.
It's mostly US. The everyday news there is extreme. It's like not a First World country. From everyday shootings to murderers going free because of bail. Plus all the minors towards adults. It's like watching modern Wild West there.
tracking devices on keys isnt that easy or as full proof as you think many ways around it. Using Cliq from ASSA can take care of it to some extent.
no other countries - at least here in Europe - are doing just fine. controversial topic for you guys, but don’t underestimate the fact that we don’t have easy access to guns - only with special licenses through hunting or in special shooting clubs - either way there are expansive background checks being conducted before granting a license and there needs to be proof that the guns are locked away at home. one might say criminals always find their ways to illegal guns, but the statistics still proof that we’re light years away from US mass shootings, gunned robbery etc…
Punishment is not a deterent to crime. It has never been shown to reduce crimes. In fact in states with the Death Penalty crime rates are higher.
Poverty drives crime.
The solution is poverty reduction.
That is an evidence based solution for crime reduction.
I agree 👍 with NBC news....
Joe BIDEN and kamala harris have destroyed America 🇺🇸
Armed robbery should warrant at least twenty years in prison or capital punishment if the victims get hurt and if it is clearly captured by a camera, because the perpetrators threaten to take the victims' lives. It's infuriating to see these atrocities in the most powerful country in the world. The barbaric extremities will never stop until the authorities start thinning out the violent herd
Fear is playing you. You understand that sometimes death isn't a punishment. Your cowardice shows however.
I agree, you are right! There needs to be some real strong consequences for these perpetrators as you say!
When murderers get out on bail...
Show us any time or place historically where crime has ever been eradicated in a society? Even using violence against it? We'll wait 🤔🙄
Stay vigilant people.
Why to use a dumb example
Upholding stereotypes one crime at a time.
What stereotype? You could see the robbers face under their masks and gloves in those blurry videos? Wow you’re good.
@@jinxterpinxter , troll
@@SamsungAndIphoneuser You are a troll? Cool story bro. 👍
@@jinxterpinxter Troll
Biden looters matter !! 🤣🤣
Post offices used to have an armory, and the Postmaster could issue revolvers to the carriers when they left for their routes.
They oughta do that again, like it’s back in the old Wild West times with the way things are looking, the random stage coach robberies on 🐴 or whatever
Revolvers? The criminals have Glocks and AR15s now...because those guns make us all so safe and free.
Used to? So it’s been a problem for years.
@@inthendwealldie Wells Fargo...
I recall a docent at a museum who was talking about working on the mail train and how the postal service gave him fire arm training to protect from hold ups
Need to send Seal Team in there and start taking these people out for good enough already we can't live like this
Nah, just put machine guns on top. No, better idea, just use tanks! Win, win, staff are safe, the killing machine (military) complex makes more money.
Send them in where? You'd have to find them.
That is so sad that the postal workers can't even deliver the mail without fearing for their lives 😮
Capital punishment for all murders, rapes, and child molestations, and 20 years to life for most other violent crimes involving a weapon.
Or…we ban guns like every other Western country
Life with no chance of parol.
LOL
Like that will stop anybody.
These criminals don't care about the laws. Why is this so hard for some people to understand?
LOL. These Thieves are true heroes.
How kind of you wanting to pay my hydro/water/gas bills!
I was having this discussion the other day and I says this.
"Maybe I'm lucky and they steal a few of my burdens"
My uncle works as a rural mail carrier in Colorado and was recently robbed at gunpoint in a pretty remote area just west of the town I live in.. he didn’t even see it coming either.. luckily he was able to escape with his life and is doing ok today
I hope he quit the post office job to be with his family now family comes first not the post office
This incredible man but everybody know who it is the same perpetrator but you can't say nothing because these are award-winning special people
What about all the post office workers stealing mail? For the past year every card I’ve had delivered to my mailbox has been stolen unless it required a signature.
No business is perfect. Always some bad apples everywhere. No way around that.
That’s a very generalized statement. Most postal workers are not criminals and do their jobs with dedication and honor. Don’t loop all of us in one basket.
@@darrylmccants7280 I agree 100% it's a tough job worked as clerk when I was younger for a year. The volume of mail was crazy that they expected me to do. Had to get up at 4am and work my butt off. It sucked honestly. And the carriers had it worse. Driving in a lot of snow, rain, sleet, much respect to the postal workers. People only see bad stories in the news and then assume everyone is bad because that's all they have seen or know. So many people are brainwashed by the media and don't even realize it. Some think 100% of police are bad, postal workers are bad, and all this stuff. It's just crazy. What next, defund the postal service? Lol
I guess these people don't want any services. Make them get their mail from the post office.
Usual suspects

@@SamsungAndIphoneuser you
And you wonder why ups stopped delivering to a appartment in a America
99% of what they steal will be worthless to them, but it will cause problems.
Lock them up.

.. Law & Order has been replace with Unga & Bunga in virtually every final destination of the underground railroad
That goes without saying. Yes it's a federal offense, but these criminals don't care about laws.
The goal is to steal identity and open credit cards and drain bank and savings accounts....
Running with Scissors already had a solution for this years ago.
They should be able carry and defend themselves
I was told by USPS instructor that "Don't be afraid, they are committing a federal offense." 😯
Why isn’t this being prosecuted as a federal crime?
Depends on the state. It is a misdemeanor in Cali
@@j.a.3138 it’s a federal crime, what CA does is irrelevant.
It is a federal crime in all states.
Do they actually catch them? If not, the punishment doesn’t much matter.
@@kevinc8955 I guess it is time to train and arm mail carriers and pair them up in places like Chicago.
this raises alarm bells. My brother is the postmaster of Diamondville Wyoming and he answers to the main postmaster in Kemmerer. Postal robbery leads to check washing, check washing leads to identity theft, and Identity Theft leads to Ponzi, extortion, and in some cases murder this is why we need more protections for postal clerks.
Its a mistake to reveal what they're after (master key). Feels like a recruitment tool for young fools.
The usual suspects? When will we just focus on the criminals?
Of Different ages and racial backgrounds (because that what was shown here) In Boston the criminal was White, In Chicago they were Black, in Northern California they were White, and they were all of different ages. So are you really concerned about putting the focus on the actual criminals, or whom you perceive as such. The only thing that seems (because I have not looked at all the data or the cases) to be in common is that they are all American Men
Always
i heard a podcast where the head of US Postal Police Division said the US Post Office management wants to replace the Police force and just low wage security guards instead. The local police departments where these mail thefts are occuring do not have the same power/resources to investigate crimes targeting Federal Postal employees, Postal trucks/post offices and mail boxes. So given the position of US Post Office Management, I think these crimes will get a lot worse. If you still have to write bank checks (in some cases I have no choice to mail checks). Make sure to use a Uniball 207 pen to write out checks (it is one of the few pens where the ink cannot be washed off, that is why a lot of these thieves are targeting the mail workers, is to get checks, as well as Credit Cards/Bank cards that haven't been activated yet.

@@Cos263 I wondered if they had that wrecking machine still aboard.
@@Cos263 DeJoy owns significant interest in companies that compete with the USPS, so it's in his financial interest for the USPS to run poorly. Talk about the swamp..
What on earth could you possible get from a mail carrier anyway?
Like the mayor of Chicago said they're just teens making some bad decisions😂😂😂
Easy issue all mail carriers with a M9 Berretta and give them 2 weeks of firearms training. Then make it legal for a mail carrier to use deadly force on armed robbery. Once word gets out that the mailman is strapped and trained no one will attack them anymore.
The first postal worker who has to use deadly force better be hailed a hero in the news. That's all I'm saying. Bring some attention to that situation and the next crook will think twice
It's not a postal workers job to defend packages with their lives. Thieves mostly know this and are not there to hurt postal workers because they are thieves not killers. They will be caught eventually
@@randominternetuser2888 anyone who has been mugged knows they don't come run up and just snatch your stuff. These people hold you at gun point half the time bro, so I'm glad you don't understand where I'm coming from. Until then, you do you, and imma keep doing me, thanks!
@@randominternetuser2888 you'll also notice my comment says "the first postal worker who has to use deadly force". What part about someone HAVING to defend themselves don't you get? I didn't say a postal worker needed to guard your package with their life. Get outta here with putting words in my mouth. You kids these days need a wake up call!
Yeah, sure, Christina 😂 How many home invaders get shot to death every week? And is any home invader thinking twice? No.
@@worldinperson how ignorant can you be? There is a shooting almost every day. Talk down your nose somewhere else
I’ve always believed that postal workers should have the option to carry but also be given training as well
Were going to be in commercials in other countries. Just 10 cents a day will help a family in need.
There are pros and cons when it comes down to owning a gun. But in this case, the postal service employees should carry a gun for self defense
This would cost billions.
Just increase patrols and ridealongs.
@@paxundpeace9970 There are 400 million guns in this country, more than there are people. CLEARLY, this society has the financial means to issue protection to each and every postal worker.
And it should be an automatic "no bill" if they shoot the robber in the back when he/she turns to flee.
That line of thought will turn the US into anarchy where everyone is packing heat and looking over their shoulder.
Nope just the IRS can have them.... 😂
I work for USPS and I wonder if giving this sorta publicity towards the matter informs other thugs and thieves that they can do the same and possibly get away with it!?
Oh no doubt.
I'm noticing this trend, as well as the trend of Uber/Lyft/Doordash robberies.
All these examples have something in common ! I can’t put my finger on it. I’m pretty sure my neighborhood mail carrier isn’t in danger. I could say out loud but you aren’t allowed to.
During my postal supervisor training we were told about the Chicago way of mail delivery! One arrow key and you can get into any mail box, they can’t be duplicated Unless your a crook!
Get rid of postmaster General things will be much better! Carriers/clerks do not deserve risking their lives!
Postmaster? Looked like a bunch of blacks.
There used to be an unwritten law in the hood about messing with the post office because they brought them checks but now everything is electronically processed so it’s game on
These teenagers today are too wild and will not follow any unwritten rules.
And rural letter carriers are facing massive pay cuts. Nice.
Government: you don't need guns.....
Criminals: look they're unarmed get em!!
Another problem thanks to a certain demographic that is allowed to do whatever they want.
A large revamp in the way we view/prosecute crime is needed.
Don't want to hear 'thank the left or it's the right'...EVERYONE who is living the right way and attempting to teach their children to do the same is a friend of mine and that's most folks...then you have folks who for one reason or another just see life in a different light.
Well, it's been time to tighten up, call it what you want but if you have a 10, 12 year old or teenager out robbing people with a gun, you f'd up as a parent something fierce...then there's folks in this World that would say that's not a true statement; if we as a people can't agree on a basic tenant such as that, we're just a bunch of strangers living with vastly different ideologies...and a lot of guns, not a great mix.
There seems to be a common denominator. I'm seeing a pattern in the criminals.

After watching so many videos of criminal activity, I think there are more criminals than honest people in this world now. That is not a good sign of how society will be like in the future.
America has gone soft on criminals. Criminals are put in handcuffs and they start cussing and spitting at people near them. That sort of behavior must be stopped by any means possible. Put a sack over their heads or tape their mouths.
You're being brainwashed. Statsticly you should not be thinking this way. Don't live your life in fear.

We don’t tolerate it in white neighborhoods. Eventually mail carriers will refuse to deliver mail to black communities, and just like food deserts, they will have to drive to get what they need.
I was at taco bell and saw postman get his food and on the way out saw his pant leg move and a gun fell out of his ankle I said you don't like dogs I guess as he picked it up he said no you never know and went back to work
That is a wise mail man, even if it is against policy to carry, except he almost lost his gun if he didn’t notice
Unbelievable!
Usual suspects as always.
since you have to go through a test to work for postal office they might as well put in an extra test to train or test office workers on carrying firearms and update the postal vans to armored in the worst areas and have a 2nd person in the vehicle to support assist or look out for each delivery

Still a federal crime? Enforce the law, simple.
Ohh ofcourse Chicago
The agency is not doing enough to protect the carriers, in my view. Wherever a crime incident occurs, remove mail service from that area. Times have changed and the traditional carrier service has become unsafe in crime infested areas.
So a whole area shouldn’t get their mail delivered because someone robbed a postal worker? Why don’t we remove mail from the entire state? Dumbest thing I have heard today. Congrats.

Bring NO-NONSENSE federal mandatory minimums in federal prison and the smug, arrogant local thugs will find themselves locked up with no city, county, or state gang buddies to hand out with. Or, are REAL prison sentences racist?
Some say REAL prison sentences racist. I'm not sure that's even relevant. I assure you that they will find new g-buddies in Club Fed and get a Master's in Thugging to boot. I'm in favor of serious punishment and serious re-education... or off to Permeant Storage you go.
Combination locks where you have to type it in to get in the boxes. Change the codes daily
Nice job announcing how vulnerable all the mail carriers are today. Thanks.
This is not only crime but dumb crimes. Who would rob someone for unknown mail? Most of the neighborhoods look working Middle class. The only thing they are receiving are bills & past due bills. There should be harsher sentencing for robbing a postal worker.

@@Xilladan093 I, Nate Higgers, want this to stop
Your so right... definitely don't address the issue of why they steal mail 🙄
@@randominternetuser2888 bracks
Imagine someone steal mail to help pay people bills are that's what they doing 🤔🤣👀
Postal workers need to arm themselves. More severe punishments for thieves. Threaten to break their hands irreparably AND actually follow through with it
Be more coat effective fs...🥴. Daaaark
That's sad
What did they think would happen?!? Close all the Walmarts then where else are the criminals to go? On to the next target! Anything to avoid getting a job!!!! Citizens of Chicago, don’t forget you have 2nd amendment rights; set up your residences for the inevitable home invasions when the post office forces everyone to pick up their mail from the local annex….
nah they were knocking off postal workers long before walmart closed up shop. this really sucks tho. a mailman really?
Call out the demographic that does this most often.
Young men?

@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 guess again genius
Sick man. Just sick.
Harsher sentencing needs to happen to those who get caught, so others won't even attempt.
That's why no one attempts to even steal in certain countries because the sentences are so extreme for even mild crimes.
Biden’s America…
Yep. I'll be glad when he gets rid of all the guns

please explain
@@undrwatropium3724 good luck defending yourself when the police is not there to protect you

Here comes republicans to use this as an example.
I'm a Democrat and we need to do something about this extreme rise in crime. Criminals mostly target democrats. We need to stand up for ourselves.
@@KingC89 hopefully i never find out who you are
@@MrDan11422 I'm Charles. Duh. And you'll do nothing weirdo.
I am not so sure Mail In voting works anymore.
You're fine, don't even start
It's for teachers, we love our jobs and students but it's becoming to dangerous.
If you look at the #s its actually not that dangerous.
There are 330 million people in America, and there will always be some bad apples. But I guess if you live in a bad area you're more likley. Then cars are also dangerous and all kinds of things. Don't live in fear. Don't let fear control you.
Democrats did this 🤡🤡
Republicans armed the thugs.
I hate them
Sad that a nation lets such a small percentage of the population totally destroy it.
