You’re comparing the choice in occupation to to homosexuality, something people don’t just decide to be as an adult.


ETA: are y’all really this dense? You don’t see the difference?

Well, if the community was safe, you wouldn't need the police as much. further, the police would probably act more "friendly" to the average citizen (a la Mayberry) if the said community wouldn't have let the thugs rule the streets in the first place.

No we are pointing out that all private business should be free to run their business how they want to.

Instead of picking and choosing when private businesses are free to do so.

Understand?

Personally I think they should be able to refuse service anyone but the community would need to step in and boycott because no way it can sustain business by only "anti-police" customers.

Kind of like an owner of a bakery not refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding that they are against. They should be able to refuse.

Is there any evidence that Trans people are victims of police brutality or harassment at any significant rate?

Lol, I can't believe you are actually serious here. So we should allow prejudice to anyone that decides to be something? Religion too? Should we list everything?

Oh my bad, it changes daily with you most likely.

You can either discriminate in who you serve or you can't. There's no in between. This isn't a difficult concept.

Maybe if cops dressed less like storm troopers and more like Andy Taylor, there wouldn’t be the issue of people feeling intimidated.

But the cops want you to be intimidated, and this is what intimidated looks like.
Should cops protect them from criminals?

Let them serve who they want, let people boycott and give low reviews...

methinks this coffee shop doesn't want cops inside because they are involved with something illegal.

In the cases involving the bakeries, it would have been very easy for the homosexual customers to simply go to another business. Instead, they chose to "make a point" and were even given financial compensation for the anguish that they suffered. They were dehumanized I tell ta!! You'll have to forgive me for not finding any tears to shed.

As a former Baton Rouge and NOLA resident who loved every year I lived there, both are shitholes. Can those of you still there not see it bc it’s changed over the last 10-12 years while you were there? The traffic, crime, road conditions, etc are not normal ways of life.

No arguments here. Frisco is pretty much the polar opposite of NOLA/BR.
