Isn't assuming minorities will be offended by the presence of police in itself racist?

"Minorities" is probably just a cover for "my felonious customers". He's trying to sound like he's taking the high road (in his own twisted leftist mind) and has his customers' feelings at heart, rather than coming out and admitting that he's running a dirtbag gym that caters to folks of the criminally-inclined persuasion.

His diet consists of black

Judging from the look of the place, no respectable people hang out there anyway.

No matter how stupid, they do have the right to do as they wish with their property, just as we have an equal right to say "fuck you."

An SJW gym? What self-respecting police officer or military man is going to workout in a place that only has 15 lbs beauty bells?

The owner of this gym will soon be out of business. I cannot think of a more brilliant idea to lose money quickly. If I owned a restaurant, I guess I could put up a sign that I do not serve liberals since that is not a protected class. Incredibly stupid idea, unless you like inviting trouble from law enforcement.

Looks like they have a few that don't share their opinions.

After seeing an interview with the owner(or the guy the runs the place) it isn't about minorities or racism.

He seems to have problems police and military and anyone in a uniform.

I think that someone is looking for some free advertising and is using the no cop thing as a means to achieve that goal! Stupid ploy!

So this is to aid his minority customers...but does that mean that there are no minorities who are either police or military?

I mean, out of sheer curiosity, I just looked up the demographics of the APD. Huh, look at that, 66% of its officers are black. A mere 28% are white.

I guess black and blue is different than just black....

Are you able to descriminate against people based solely on their occupation? It seems like the gym is asking to be sued but I'm not lawyer.

The only reason this guy can operate his gym like that is because of the sacrifices made by police and military personnel. Freedom is not free, it was paid for by the blood of countless men and women who served this country.

The only color people like him see is the blue of the uniform. They never look beyond that at the person who actually wears the uniform.
