I tend to believe the facts over what some yahoos are tweeting about



The facts arent in question. The issue is would they have been asked to leave if they were another race. Its a starbucks policy thats normally not enforced. Feel free to argue that here if you want.

Im just curious as to why the manager/barista decided to call the police.


If you read the article and the report you will find your answer.

If they were 2 white guys wearing MAGA hats we wouldn’t be having this conversation would we?

Did the manager ask her 3 times to leave?

Did she sit down and just hang out?

Sometimes people slip through the cracks. I’ve gone into gas stations and restaurants just to take a leak plenty of times, but I’m quick and don’t just hang out afterwards.

You're the one who said Starbucks strictly enforces their policy when that's obviously not the case

There have been black people who have been to that Starbucks and haven't been asked to leave according to twitter. So there's that

Also, let's say that the manager just asked them to leave because they were black. While that is a dick move, it still wasn't wrong according to their policy. Sometimes people are dicks, life sucks

Is this where we bring up the stories of white cops being refused service because they're white cops, or does that not count?

You mean a cop backing up another cop? Yeah, OK.


Everyone wants to keep the race baiting bullshite alive and well. I think idiots in this country are addicted to this constant"outrage". They're black, so it's gotta be racism!


I don’t know if you are talking about me, although you responded to me. I did not remotely say anything about race.

I think he is referring to this Starbucks, which obviously is the case

That’s so catchy and ‘left’ of you..

And You are rushing to judgment as well; you adamantly stated they will not get paid. That’s just as much judgment as me stating that will get paid. Your judgment just differs from mine and you are unable to accept different judgments or opinions without getting all revved up.


Me? Not revved up. It’s not a rush to judgement, just a statement that reflects what seems to have happened. Nothing happened except some guys being dumb. My saying they won’t get paid isn’t a judgement, it’s reflective of the situation.

Why does money have to be involved anyway? Are you constantly calling Gordon when you feel you are held down by the man?

So yes, this is a very important issue to you.


This is where you are incorrect. The issue in Philly isn’t important to me. Watching people like you bitch and moan behind your phone or computer amuses me. It’s almost like a potential case study: When you have everything you need, what can you complain about?

Well it would not make the news much and would not be blowing up on Twitter. But we would definitely be having this conversation here, especially here if it came to someone’s attention. but. You know, as well as I, that it would go in a completely different direction.

Then this wouldn’t have to do with the ethics of Philly PD, and instead Starbucks...yes?

The restrooms at Starbucks are pretty clean.

Starbucks sucks, but no before story is very informative. I'd like to see the CCTV video of what they did to get thrown out, and what their reasoning was for refusing to leave.

If someone is in your house, and you ask them to leave but they don't, wouldn't you call the cops?

White guys wearing MAGA hats are refused service on a daily basis across the country and you never hear about it.

2 black guys asked to leave a coffee shop because they were trespassing and now we gonna have riots.

well that same manager probably wouldn't have called the cops on them. I'm willing to bet that manager probably would have given them free coffee and would have taken selfies with them

You can’t just sit in a coffee shop and not order anything. It doesn’t help that these guys were dressed like they are hanging out on a corner.


How do you know what they were doing or not doing?

I have said around in coffee shops, although usually I will get something or someone in my group.

They were dressed fine. I mean one guy has sweat pants on but the other guy is dressed completely fine. Almost looks like some biker that belongs in a coffee shop.

With that said, if they knew the cops were coming (I don't know if they did) Maybe they should have left? Again though, have no idea what went down.

When I'm downtown pretty much all the places are like this, some even have signs poster in the front window. Don't give this bullshite, "it's a race thing". It wasn't, buy something or GTFO.
