    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 conversation

      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.”

      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.

          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?

    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

    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 ______”

    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

    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?).

    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.

      There are only two Dunkin Donuts in SF. Mainly because they are terrible donuts.

      So, basically 0.

          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.

    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.

    Look up “16 crucial words that went missing from a landmark civil rights law” for more info.
