Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Barista asks five police officers to leave... because one other customer felt uneasy...? Other than being downright rude, you'd think that simple math might've figured into the situation. Lessee here... one paying millennial or five paying LEO's... Doh!

Clay Mosby Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I know our LEO's are too honorable and dedicated to ever do this, but, there are times when I wish the police would tell a certain group or community, "If you don't want us here, then fine. From no on you are on your own. Don't call us, call someone else." Know it will never happen, but I sometimes amuse myself picturing the expression on said peoples face when they are told this!

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Let's see....if I go into a Starbucks and see someone with a Che shirt (violent, murderous, thug) can I say I feel unsafe and have that person ejected? If I see a supporter of The Bern, can I have that person removed because it was a Bernie Bro that tried to assassinate the GOP congressional baseball team, therefore all Bernie supporters are violent? If I see someone sporting a "Resist" button, can I complain that it makes me feel unsafe because the violent Antifa thugs riot and commit arson as part of their resistance?

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I suspect the snowflake who felt uneasy because of LEO presence could have had outstanding warrants. And if I were there and LEO, I'd certainly check when said 'victim of psychological offense' left the premises.... I'd even offer a nappy to dry his tears...

bgavin Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 This, along with Kyrsten Sinema elected as Senator, is further proof how many liberals have migrated into AZ. They flee CA with their inflated housing profits, feral children and bull-puckey liberal politics. Then they turn their new home into the same hell hole they just left.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We're talking about this one store. Let's not get our undies in a bunch, there's a couple of Starbucks stores 'round here that I go to occasionally just to get a cup to go and I've seen cops sitting in there and being treated respectfully. One of them even gives them a free coffee now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken D Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I hope cops are still a different breed. Back in my day if that had happen and the next day help was needed at that Starbucks, we would get there as fast as possible. Cops have always been treated like this and just expected with the job. If you don't like it, not the job for you. The job is to protect and serve, not the other way around. We are outsiders and why we feel comfortable around our own. We are not your friend, we are to enforce the laws. We are not your psychiatrist and don't care what your problems are, our only interest is if you broke the law. We are on duty 24/7 and carry a gun at all times. That gun is a part of us like an extension of our arm and take better care of it. When you need us, we will be there. ( and yes, I do know how times have sadly changed. This was back in my days which was a long time ago.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, an excellent response for Law Enforcement in situations such as that would be "We'll leave, but remember, if you call for help, we'll still come back." Sort of lays it out there for the employees and the tools that don't want officers around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beto the Fake Mexican is proof of this in Texas. They are all not just from California any more...believe me. Look into why North Carolina is now a “blue” state. (In my opinion the colors should be reversed...better dead than red, if you get my drift.) Leftists (and I didn’t say a political party so chill the heck out you certain political party types) abhor a vacuum. It’s in their nature. If there is an area they haven’t infected they must infect it. Most of the time they go because “it’s the safest city in the US” or “the economy is booming” and then they tell a friend or friends and then after there are enough of them they reminisce and want to be home so rather than go the #%$& home where they belong they work to destroy where they are and turn it into home. Then when it becomes home - a $#%&hole that no longer resembles what it once was - they move on to infect another area and they take their off-spring. Like I said, more conservative types are too nice and accepting sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Smokin D, I think the conversation is about the PC wussification of a seemingly growing proportion of the general public which tends to create problems out of nothing. LE has always dealt with society's problems and in the vast majority of cases quite effectively. The problem here is the additional problems LE faces daily due to people being easily offended by X, Y and Z and thinking if they cry loud and long enough they'll get their way. LE does not need the distraction of PC crybaby BS with the already difficult job they do. Cops as you say, have always been treated a different way, but their job just gets more difficult as time progresses but society regresses in certain ways. Law enforcement sure ain't the job for individuals with a weak constitution or thin skin. Society sure does not need to make their lives more difficult along the way.
