Coffee Shop in Oakland Refuses to Serve Police Officers

A controversy is brewing at a coffee shop in Oakland, where police officers are not welcome.

The business, called Hasta Muerte Coffee, will not serve officers in uniform and turned away an officer a few weeks ago. The shop is an employee-owned co-op.

"We have a policy of asking police to leave for the physical and emotional safety of our customers and ourselves."

Well that's unfortunate.

Let me get this straight. People don't like that some police officers treat minorities a certain way, so they generalize all police officers as bad guys. How ironic.

Even if so, that's no reason to refuse service.

I'm not one for boycotting anything but I'd boycott that place. I'd stand outside and tell others what happened.

 

[Humble me Lord]

I say that's fine, when the coffee shop is being robbed by an illegal alien that Oakland harbors, the police should just not respond.

Well no, that shouldn't happen.

Now there is an interesting way to invite robberies.

Do some of these people not realize that:
A. It's no longer 1969.
B. Portlandia is meant to be satire.

Having been to Portland, I can safely say that the show is closer to a reenacted documentary than it is satire.

Living in Portland, I would agree.

What if it was a bakery?

Do you think if it gets robbed by a white guy in a suit that the police should then respond?

It would still be unfortunate.
