Business says it doesn’t serve anyone who is armed
Private business, police are not a protected class, the end.
Don’t give them ideas
Idk gives me some costume ideas tho.
Introducing: SUPERCOP
That would blow up in their face at this point. None of them want a challenge to section 1983 now that we know the full text of the law. It would strip them if qualified immunity.
Lol! “Bigoted and discriminatory”! As if they were born a cop, had no choice to be anything other that a cop, and could never be without a uniform or a weapon. Fuck 'em.
My partner was a charge nurse on a psych ward for 16 years. Many of her interactions with police were as follows:
POLICE: buzzes the desk
My Parnter: Yes?
P: This is officer so-and-so with the so-and-so police department. We have a warrant for the arrest of a patient on your ward. Let us in.
MP: Okay, but this is a secure ward and firearms are not allowed. Surrender your weapons at the security office and I’ll grant you access to make your arrest when you return.
P: I’M NOT SURRENDERING MY WEAPON!
MP: Well, then can’t enter this ward.
end of conversationACAB = Assigned Cop at Birth
ABAB; Assigned Bastard At Birth.
They also have to check their guns when they go into places like prisons, so those guys are just idiots.
Yes, but that’s to their friends; not people who should be obeying their instructions without question like the peasants they are.
So right. If they give up their lethal weapons how else can they be the most dominant person in the room?
“bigoted and discriminatory”
What happened to those supreme court rulings they were so in favor of, that allowed poor little christians to blatantly discriminate against people they don’t like
That sounds delicious to be able to tell them that. I got fired from a retail job I worked for five years for telling customers about the sign on the door that asks them not to carry. Got unemployment so at least the state knew it was bullshit.
“We ban firearms in this establishment.”
“WE’re cops!”
“Got a warrant? Otherwise, you’re violating our rules and regulations and we ask you to leave.”Better yet, have them arrested for trespassing. LMAO
Or not yielding.
Fun story time… a couple of friends of mine were walking home after a night of drinking and some cops pull over and get out and say, “two white men in dark clothes just robbed the gas station down the road and you fit that description.” One friend said, “you’re two white men in dark clothes so you fit that description too. I’m going to have to make a citizen’s arrest.” My other friend said the cuffs got put on them at light speed. They got charged with public intoxication. We don’t know if the two white men in dark clothes were ever caught.
Lol…. So… uh. Please tell me your friend is putting that snark to use,
Sadly, he passed away. And only in his 20s. And yes, we lost a great comic mind. I say this as someone who has been paid to do stand-up and write comedy: he was far funnier than I will ever be. I still miss him 20 years later.
What are the odds that the police take this snub badly and do something petty and vindictive in return?
Yes.
Coppers do like their doughnuts.

fiddyfiddy
I’d be surprised if they didn’t start harassing those bakeries, sadly
Cops don’t like hearing the word “no” when it applies to them
something something gay wedding cake. Last I checked LEO isn’t a protected class. And they aren’t even denying LEO, just those that come in on-duty and are armed. So yeah, get fucked pigs.
Not all cops are bad. Don’t paint them all with the same brush.
Edit - Jesus y’all want to go lynch some cops. I wasn’t expecting so much bigotry from the crowd here. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug I guess
Yeah! Just 99%. Don’t lump them all together.
Not allll yardage yadda
The other 1% are also bad for just sitting idle.
That bunch is spoiled.
You sound like a racist.
Cop is not a race
When you’re reeeeeally fucking dumb, it is
Eh, pig is technically a different species.
Yes, but they are intelligent, useful to society, and quite friendly with a tiny amount of socialization. None of that is true for the average cop. Remember, they HATE being called a Citizen On Patrol.
Pigs are very nice creatures.
LEOs are boars, nasty things.
how is that racist??? are you implying cops are a race lol
Your privilege is showing…
Prejudice comes in many forms. Be better than that
How dare we be prejudiced against the largest criminal gang in the country!
In history. The US cops commit more murder, theft, rape, and assault than any other organization in history. They don’t even have Qualified Immunity, according to the full text of section 1983, but that’s not what was given to SCOTUS in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald.
How in the hell do you keep from falling off that high horse?
It’s not prejudice when literally all the evidence supports it. Maybe you’d be process that evidence more clearly without that pig cock cutting off your oxygen supply.
Yes, they are. Good cops are actively forced out of police departments. It’s a very well documented phenomenon.
Pretty much anyone who’s a good cop isn’t a cop anymore because they turned against the bad cops. The bad cops are still there.
Is it true the good cops aren’t cops any more cause they got kicked out?
In an overwhelming number of situations, yes. Cops are intended to prioritize property over people and convictions over justice. Those who speak out about injustices face retribution from their peers and little defense from their union. Police unions act as criminal legal defense to eschew responsibility.
There have even been legal cases of departments refusing to hire people because they were “too smart”. This is largely speculated to be due to fear of those who are more intelligent speaking out, and having a moral compass of their own rather than blindly following.
Yep. I’m one of them. I applied to the cybercrimes division of the Lexington, KY PD in my naive youth and got an official letter saying they refused to hire me because they were worried that I would “get bored and pursue other employment.” Asked a couple of my lawyer friends and they all agreed that was code for “we’re afraid that you’ll notice all the shit we do, and try to prosecute us” aka, “you’re too smart.”
Press X to doubt.
Doesnt surprise me, considering they were created to stop the poors rising against the rich.

This is just one of literally thousands of examples that I have seen over the last 30 years
It’s also not even the case I was looking for when I googled “cop fired for not shooting to kill.”
ACAB BOOTLICKER
Lol I have no idea what that means but it sure sounds like bigotry.
Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug buddy. Don’t be like the people you hate
Cop is a job where all sorts of people, good and bad, go to become bad people. Acab
Nah fuck em all
They’re the ones painting themselves.
That Oregon bakery who refused to sell to a gay wedding ended up winning in the appeal, so if you can say “no gays” you can say “no ______”
Post this on Twitter or similar and they will be jumping hoops to say it’s ok.
I dont have a Xwitter or a Metabook account
And your life is better for it, honestly.
Police aren’t a race, orientation or protected class. A cop can in fact remove his gun and uniform, it’s not attached to his skin
A cop can in fact remove his … uniform
They better have something on underneath it if they do that in public, tho.
Have you been to San Francisco?
Yes. People don’t usually go around naked. Even during pride and even though it is legal.
It’s too damn cold. 🥶
Just kidding yo!
Regardless didnt scotus basically rule you can discriminate?
For “creative” endeavors, yes. If “creative” covers baking would probably be down to how good of a argument a lawyer could make is.
This policy doesn’t seem weird to me at all, but I’m Canadian. I’ve seen establishments that don’t allow weapons on site. So except in emergency situations, police officers need to secure their weapon before they enter the store (I think they put them in the gun locker in the trunk of their car?).
It’s not weird. Cops are just butthurt that they can’t be super special citizens that the rules don’t apply to.
Or on the seat with the window down.
If its legal for someone to hypothetically not create a wedding announcement website for gay people because she doesn’t want to serve those kinds of people, then there should be nothing wrong with not wanting to serve armed cops.
Baking food and making coffee could be argued to be every bit as “creative” as a website can be if the lawyer is good enough.
One is outright discrimination based on sexual orientation. The other is simply a policy applied to all patrons.
It should absolutely be legal to say ‘no shoes no service’ or ‘has gun no service’ even if it was not legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation/race/gender/etc. They aren’t at all the same thing.
unless you have a bouncer with a wand and proper pat down experience. the patrons will just conceal and not tell you. plenty of places say no guns. but a sign is nothing more than that.
cops arnt even people so dont see the prob at all
odds on there being an ‘incident’ at that location in the near future, and the cops responding stop at dunkin’ for coffee and a donut while on the way there…?
There are only two Dunkin Donuts in SF. Mainly because they are terrible donuts.
So, basically 0.
Shit coffee, too. And I say this as someone from the northeast and currently living somewhere are nine Dunks within a one mile radius of my current location.
The coffee is better than Starbucks, but that’s not saying much. Starbucks is only considered good because they add so much sugar and shit you can’t taste the coffee.
See, as a coffee hater, I like Starbucks precisely because it’s not coffee. If a coffee hater likes your coffee…it’s not coffee.
Really? I’ve had a Starbucks Americano and it was fine. Although that’s espresso, not drip coffee. Drip coffee in general is just swill. Especially when it’s some “breakfast blend” bullshit. I’ve never had a blend that’s good, but most single-origin coffees are fine.
The beans at Starbucks are over-roasted to maintain a consistent flavor across all locations. It doesn’t really matter what you get. Espresso might be slightly better, but it’ll always be over-roasted.
🤮
I would suggest Krispy Kreme, but I haven’t seen one of those in CA.
Edit: looks like I’m going to Chula Vista. Haven’t had a Krispy Kreme in years.
For some more context this place, reems, really isn’t a bakery so much as a middle eastern take out place. The main store is currently closed down though so the only place they have open is a counter serve food court style place in the ferry building, so the cops didn’t get kicked out of the place, they either went to the counter and the cashier refused to serve, or more likely, they saw the new policy online and threw a hissy fit without actually going.
The founder is a Palestinian leftist, so this probably was targeted towards cops/military.
I’d highly recommend going here if your on a tourist trip and end up in the ferry building, not just for the cop hate, but there wraps are great as well.
Sure, they should be able to turn anyone away, no questions asked.
You might be interested to know that cops, judges, politicians, and all other government officials don’t actually have Qualified Immunity according to the full text of section 1983 of the federal code. The SCOTUS wasn’t handed the full text in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald. The text was changed illegally in 1874 by one guy when he copied the 1871 Congressional Record into the Federal Register.

Why would you go through that entire description and end with that instead of just linking an article about it?
(Having said that, thanks for bringing it up, I hadn’t heard about this.)
(Not OP) Thanks but that particular article is AI generated garbage (or just thesaurus generated plagiarism) - you can tell when they replace technical terms like ‘judgement’ or ‘decision’ with synonyms like ‘choice’
While the Cato Institute are some sort of libertarian think-tank, at least this is a real human-written article, and it links back to some better sources:

Well dammit. Thank you!
Didn’t SCOTUS rule that private businesses can now discriminate?
Since armed police is not a protected class then I hardly think it matters.
