 The best they could do would be to hire PMC's to manage that, but even then expect some Diversity Hire DA to have a conniption fit when Academi or the Pinkertons ice a group of aspiring rappers when they try to tip a box truck full of PS5s

 I'm not thinking about long term effects - just what the instantaneous response would be.

it's hard to know what would happen. I think you have to start looking in terms of the forces at play to make a guess. The overaching force is to downplay all non-white crime. But you also have the force of large companies not wanting to be stuck with hundreds of millions of dollars of non-performing assets. ( since most of them are in long term leases for the spaces, which they've built out with a ton of computerized stuff ) Third you have americans that are sick of crime ( e.g the Trump saying shoot looters in CA an get a cheer)

 I wonder what kind of company like IKEA wanted to open a store in SF while Target has decided "fuck it" and closing stores over there.

You just need more diversity in the PMCs. What could possibly go wrong?
