Disrespect law enforcement officers until some body sticks a gun in their face and says give me the money or you die.

Nothing in the law books forbids discrimination on the basis of occupation.

Although I am sure there are PLENTY of lobbyists pushing for yet more elitist blue legislation.

They weren't even refused service. They just didn't get it the second they walked though the door. It sounds like the staff just wasn't paying attention for whatever reason.

They're going to give them the money, just like they are supposed to, and then call the police when it's all over, no more gun in the face.

Starbucks tells ABC News that the two California deputies were in uniform about 11 p.m. Thursday and were not refused service, but inattentive workers ignored them for about five minutes. The incident is under investigation.
....
“We really want to connect with the two deputies, apologize directly, and hear their stories,” explained Borges. “We take full responsibility for any intentional or unintentional disrespect to law enforcement.” [emphasis mine]

Were they intentionally ignored and if so why and for how long? Frankly, we don't know.

Considering it was 11 PM, I wonder if they were in the middle of closing procedures and just didn't notice them.

When contacted about Thursday night's incident in Riverside County, a Starbucks representative told ABC News that the two California deputies were in uniform when they visited the Starbucks at around 11 p.m., and were ignored by workers for about five minutes.

“There is simply no excuse for how the two deputies were ignored,” said Starbucks spokesperson Reggie Borges. “We’re deeply sorry for that.”
