Black men's arrest at Philadelphia Starbucks prompts city probes amid national outcry
Two black men were arrested waiting at a Starbucks. Now the company, police are on the defensive.
The police were called becase these men hadn't ordered anything. 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 pple are wondering why it's never happened to us when we do the same thing.

I wonder what the next outrage will be about. If Whole Foods runs out of kale?.
What an absurd comparison to make.
Where will you be marching?

For such a free speech advocate as you claim to be, DBC, you sure get your panties in a twist over people exercising their right to protest.
Yet another race-baiting thread for the mud pit, about as much as expected of you.

What abuse?
Regardless as to whether you think it's morally correct or not it is the stores legal right to have anyone removed from the premises that refuses to leave for any reason it's called trespassing and it is against the law if the police showed up and again Ask the people to leave and they refuse it's their responsibility to arrest them doesn't matter who it is or why they're being asked to leave.

It's disproportionate outrage.
I'm sure the manager has been written up or fired.
The police are apologizing.
Jesus! What more do you want???

This is awesome. If they find a way to criminalize starbucks for this, the notion of controlling what happens on private property will go right out the window.
