ridiculous overreaction of law enforcement here


Which was what exactly? They were asked to remove the guys from the store, by the store. What are they supposed to do, ignore the store and not enforce the law? They were professional and gave the guys several outs to leave without getting arressted. They did nothing to escalate the situation.

ok maybe it's unfair to blame the cops but the outcome, ending in arrests, was a ridiculous overreaction imo. I don't think it's the hallmark of a great society when a business can sic the cops on any one who makes them feel uncomfortable (although clearly others here prefer that). I also don't think the customers in question did themselves any favors once the cops were called but at the same time I can't blame them for being defensive.
