And because they didn't leave when asked, they got arrested and now it's because of their race?


You have it backwards.

Starbucks called the police because the two guys were loitering. Police show up, ask guys to leave who refused multiple times, then arrested them for trespassing.

The complaint by Starbucks was likely at least partially racially motivated, the arrest had nothing to do with race.

So a bunch of liberal Starbucks patrons called the cops on 2 guys just minding their own business?

Of course the liberal media will eat this shite up. We got people dying and two black guys are asked to leave a private business refuse cops show up to enforce this and here it is all over the National liberal outlets.

Every Starbucks I have been in has extremely nice workers

For them to call the cops on these guys tells me something


Because you've had good experiences then every single Starbucks employee could never frick up in a spot like this?

Holy naive post!

The black police chief gave a statement. This is cut and dry and the cops did a great job

Starbucks saw two me enter store

Starbucks told them nothing

After a while, without ordering, man used restroom

Employees told them that was for customers only

The men refused to order anything or leave

The employees called the cops

The cops came and asked the men to leave

The men again refused

The cops called their supervisor

Their supervisor arrived and told the men to leave, and asked them to leave so they would not have to arrest them

The men refused again

They were then arrested and cuffed without a physical confrontation
Happens to white folks at Starbucks all the time!!!

LOL at even hinting that race was not in play here.

Why would that be relevant?

Are you implying that a black person can’t have pre-conceived notions against other black people that they wouldn’t have against non-black people?

Amazing that none of the police were presently fearing for their lives and opened fire. We should probably be teaching police how to combat reload as quickly as possible, so they can start discharging two mags into people instead of just one.

The coffee shop had a policy that only paying customers may use the restroom. The employees asked them men to leave and they refused.

The employees told the men that the police would be called and they said, "Go ahead and call police, we don't care."


Sounds like employees were following company policy

The whole story reaks of racism but the only reason it makes national news because like always the victims if you want to call them that are black. The same story wouldn't have been told if the two were white and refused to leave they would have been arrested for trespassing END OF STORY.

My take:

From what the black police chief stated

All it took in this incident was one pissed off Starbucks employee to get this whole thing started. Like in my previous post if the victims were white and refused too leave the police would have arrested them for trespassing END of story. Now since the victims were black and refused too leave they were discriminated against, the police used excessive force and then of course Starbucks sends out an apology. Yep sounds about right and the liberal media will eat this shite up.

This, I was WTF? Starbucks can suck a big one due to the fact they had a rule in place that if you didn't buy, no bathroom usage. And now.
