Two men arrested within minutes at Starbucks for waiting while black.....

A video of two people being removed from a Philadelphia Starbucks has drawn outrage and an “internal investigation” from police after it was posted earlier this past week.

The short clip shared on Twitter by @MelissaDePino on Thursday that shows two men being handcuffed and taken out of the establishment on 18th and Spruce Streets has since been retweeted more than 53,000 times by Saturday morning.

“The police were called because these men hadn’t ordered anything,” she wrote, tagging the company. “They were waiting for a friend to show up, who did as they were taken out in handcuffs for doing nothing. All the other white ppl are wondering why it’s never happened to us when we do the same thing.”

It is the white people admitting what was done is fucked up. Normally they send somebody out as a customer to harass you. If they do not want black customers, they need to pack their shit up in Africa and leave.

"Two Black real estate agents were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks for waiting for a friend who showed up as they were being handcuffed. The police were called by a barista because the men hadn’t ordered anything, yet.

Many of the white patrons at the Starbucks wondered why they have never been arrested while waiting to meet someone for coffee.

One of the comments says they went there waiting to meet someone, was waiting and went to use the restroom and the employee said they had to buy something or leave.

:smh:

Madness.
 
911 call: "hello 911, yes this is Starbucks we have 2 BLACK males here refusing to leave and being irate, we are scared, please send an officer to help us"
Isn’t the shake shack down the street? The shake shake in KOP is friendlier than that location.
 
This shit pissed me off!

I had a job where I basically worked from home but during the week I would have to go out on appointments I would frequently sit in Starbucks or other similar locations in between appointments. I wouldn’t buy anything because I don’t drink coffee but I would use their wi fi for my laptop.

What was scene in that video is sheer bullshit. The friend they were waiting on showed up while they were being taken out in cuffs

It doesn’t matter what they professions are they could have been two black homeless people the point is they were doing what millions of people do in Starbucks daily... just sitting there
 
On a side note, Philly looks like its right on the gentrification train and I have been hearing lots of discrimination stories coming out of there in regards to real estate of late...this story just adds to the list
 
You have mofos who sit in starbucks for a few hours everyday using their computer
Yep buy one coffee and get on the laptop and sit there for hours and hours working using the free WiFi. Always thought this concept from a biz standpoint was dumb.

If that was an independent small biz, you know a waitress would be there every ten mins asking you, "can I get you anything else? you good? need anything else?"

That's some bullshit.

I've walked into several starbucks just to use the restroom and not once have I been told by the barista to buy or leave.

Cacs come in starbucks all the time just to read their books and use their internet hogging up the table never purchasing a damn thing and are allowed to stay.

I see homeless people crashing in starbucks on a regular and not once have I seen police called on them for it.

This is ludicrous.

They need to put the employee who started all this on blast. Put them all on social media.
 
Wow arrested over that bullshit..

What are they gonna charge them with...

What a fucking waste of tax dollars...

That seems like an unlawful arrest...

Those bruhs should have said they were undecided and still contemplating what they want

They should sue Starbucks and the stupid quota hungry little piggys
