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

Yes he has that right, but lets not look at this in a vacuum! Starbucks everywhere has people just chilln there for hours without purchasing anything; and/or purchasing very minimum shit...this situation has clear racial bias in it; from the manager to the cops....

Well this have nothing to do with the cops. The two men were removed by the police by the manager request. Remember that was the reason why the police were called. Now if I were one of the two men that were removed from the store, I would lawyer up...
 
Some may disagree, but the manager of any store have the right to have customer/s barred if they are being disorderly.


“Offering merchandise for sale implies an invitation to enter, but the store owner is entitled to ban someone from coming in. The person could be a suspected shoplifter or a troublemaker, or he can be banned for any reason, as long as it is not based on bias against a federally protected class of people”
Before people take this post seriously, he claims to be a cop and made a “Lethal Weapon” drug bust a while ago. :lol:

This blue wall shit is why folks hate cops bud. A bit of commom sense or empathy makes it plain that these dudes shouldn't have been arrested, cuffed and taken to jail. That was poor judgement on the cops part (and wtf was there a phalanx of cops responding to this in the first place)? :confused:

False information, it happens. A Detective had a warrant and we didn’t find anything. I don’t know why someone would make this up, especially about being a cop now and days. The information I just posted is common knowledge that you can find with research. ... But whatever

And I’m sure most cops post on a message board that they’re about to make a drug bust before writing a cliche Hollywood dialogue “this scum has been on our streets for too long” too right?
 
He’s a police officer on Mondays, personal trainer on Tuesdays, a female poster on Wednesdays, a milk man on Thursdays


A Milk man on Thursday..lol. funny. My girl used to posted on BGOL and I was a personal trainer. What is your point? Plus, I used to install cable and security. I did a lot in my life and will continue to make this money brotha.


I don’t understand why you are beefing with me? But whatever....peace
 
The Philadelphia DA’s Office said there was a “lack of evidence” that the men committed any crime.


Philadelphia police are conducting an internal investigation into a viral video that shows officers handcuffing and removing two black men from the premises of a Starbucks store.

“The police were called because these men hadn’t ordered anything,” tweeted author Melissa DePino, who posted a video of the arrest on Thursday. “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.”

DePino told local news outlet Billy Penn that the incident happened Thursday afternoon and that a friend of hers shot the video.



The clip shows what appears to be a white man in a vest questioning why an arrest is taking place. He seems to be the person who was planning to meet the black men at Starbucks.

“What did they get called for?” the man asks an officer. “’Cause there are two black guys sitting here meeting me?”

The officer’s response is not intelligible in the video.

The same man then asks the officer, “What did they do?” while another voice can be heard saying, “They didn’t do anything. I saw the entire thing.”

Philly Voice pointed to a second, longer video uploaded to YouTube that shows an officer telling the man in the vest that the other two individuals were being arrested for “trespassing.” The man calls what the officers are doing “discrimination.”



Ben Waxman, a spokesman for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, told HuffPost that the two men were released at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. He said the DA will not bring charges against them.


“We declined to bring charges against the two men because there was a lack of evidence that a crime was committed,” Waxman said.

Neither Starbucks nor the Philadelphia Police Department immediately replied to HuffPost’s request for comment. However, both have made statements on social media.

The police department tweeted Friday evening that it was “aware” of the incident and was launching an internal investigation into what happened.



Starbucks tweeted the same night that it was “reviewing the incident with our partners, law enforcement and customers to determine what took place and led to this unfortunate result.”



CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly quoted the man in the vest as saying, “’Cause there are two black guys sitting here eating?” He actually said, “’Cause there are two black guys sitting here meeting me?”
 
Everytime I read or hear a devil cracker stating that there is no such thing as 'white privilege'
these incidents always comes to be evident.

Same shit happen to some friends and I at a downtown chicago bookstore.
Ironically we were waiting for classmates to meetup on a school project.

Walter Mosley book Always Outnumbered comes to mind.

:smh:
Aint tha Devil Happy...HA HA HA HA HA
 
Peace,

And this is blue wall apologetics from a cat who isn’t even a cop.

Probably because you’ve shown a propensity for being full of shit. That’s in addition to always falling on the wrong side of these issues.

Bingo.

I'm not sure of "Fingers" race but he's more loyal to the badge than he is to Black people. :smh:

It's been stated that the men did nothing wrong and he's reading off a script talking about the manager's/store owners rights.
