So how were the cops scared, exactly?

Sounds like they put two thugs out on their asses for being asses.

Gentleman arrested being a little douchey but nothing seriously wrong..

Yep. And for all the people saying "I have done this and they didn't say anything to me", well eh, if the store is busy they won't notice you. If you are one of a couple people and you are just hanging out and shitting in their restroom you will likely be asked to purchase something

The “cop lovers” almost always turn out to be correct.

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


So, nothing to see here except for cops doing what they were supposed to do. 8 of them sounds a bit excessive, but doesn't change the fact they did nothing wrong.

Exactly. I'm sure the guys were causing some sort of trouble for the cops to have been called.

If it were two white guys and 8 cops showed up this wouldn't even be a story.

That’s why they were arrested.

If they would have done something, like ordered coffee, they wouldn’t have been arrested

Why does 8 cops "seem excessive"?

I don't get that. Who gives a shite if 1000000 arrest them. That makes no difference.

And actually, I would think bringing more officers help to keep a situation from becoming physical. 2 men are a lot less likely to try and fight 8 men vs 2-3

Apparently you have never gotten pulled over in Ruston, LA. 8 cops always show up for every police stop. Regardless of what race you are.

When you're called because two men are refusing to leave a location you don't need to show up in force. You send a patrol to the location to assess and send backup if it's deemed necessary. Unless the dispatcher was told these guys were threatening people, which there is no evidence of that being the case, 8 cops for two people sitting in a Starbucks is definitely excessive.

I think the trigger for the 8 cops was that the couple that initially showed up and asked the 2 guys to leave had to call their supervisor b/c they wouldn't leave. This led to other police showing up with a job assist.

Why do people get away with disrespect? Starbucks asked the guys to leave after they purchased nothing. The cops asked several times. The 2 guys refused and were disrespectful yet "8 cops is overkill."

This makes perfect sense and could very well be what happened.

If only two cops showed up, and the situation went haywire, you would be bitching it was so dumb to only send 2 cops

I think it is always wise to bring more cops if possible to situations like this. I absolutely don't see the downside

A couple baws who might be feeling froggy, will feel a lot less froggy when they are outnumbered

The more cops the better if it helps diffuse the situation and stop things from getting out of hand.

You would think so but then situations like this occur involving ghetto trash and it becomes obvious they need the back up. They should have figured out some state charges to throw at them and make them pay lawyer fees to get them off.

What you're suggesting is every single disturbance should be attended to by by multiple units. That's lunacy.

8 cops for 2 humans. Plus we have seen many times in the past cops killing first and then asking questions later. Their defense, is they are scared for their life, which allows one to shoot to kill.
