Dear Starbucks,

This is shameful.

Here's the quote from the original person (thank you Melissa) who posted this on Twitter:

The police were called because 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 ppl are wondering why it’s never happened to us when we do the same thing.

The black police chief said the cops did nothing wrong and that the men they arrested used the bathroom without buying anything and refused when asked to leave.

I try to only go to local coffee shops but I've gone to Starbucks when traveling. Absolutely done with them now.

Unpopular opinion:

I don’t think this is Starbucks issue. I think it’s the manager who called the cops issue. She needs to be dragged and fired immediately. Like somebody else said in this thread I see people all the time in Starbucks and Dunkin donuts, sitting up, not buying anything and using the WiFi and they never get cops called on them. Most of my Starbucks has really young people who work there like late teens and early 20’s. Wonder how old the manager in this store was.

Also a police issue, the popo could have just asked them to leave and not arrested them. And that smug looking black cop At the end of the video, makes my stomach turn..ugh

A little kudos to the other white patrons who tried to speak up on behalf of those young black men

Their awful apology is what sealed the deal for me.

Okay. :meditate:

I'm back. And angrier. I shouldn't have read the comments.

This one:
"Police only apply logic and problem solving skills to white people. Notice the white guy was able to mouth off without fear?"

It's got me frustrated. My doctor says I must stay low stress.

Thankfully, I recently discovered Keto Bullet Green Tea that I make at home. I will simply feel better away from Starbucks. :yep:

Girl take care of yourself!!! Don’t let this mess give you a stroke or run your pressure up! Not worth it!

You should do a news detox. One of my mentors says he hasn’t watched the news in 15 years because it’s just fear mongering.
