Hasta Muerte

"To Death"

You've got to be kidding me.

But would they serve a gay cop? If not then they are in for a lawsuit...

They just want to ensure they stay a shithole

Just curious. What if a cop said “bug off” and just had a seat at a table. Who does the business call, the cops????

This seems more discriminatory than the cake and gay couple thing.

This. Sounds like some thugs need to offer protection. At a cost, of course. Say, 25% of receipts, paid every Monday to the courier, in cash, in a brown paper bag. Or we break your legs.

I have often said that if NYC and Calif. were to break off and float out into their perspective oceans no one would miss them.

I'm sure they will probably think of some other grop to exclude in due time.

They are probably paranoid because they are all or mostly all illegals.

It seems strange to be able to arbitrarily "Ban" or deny service to anyone who is behaving, able to pay and buying a commodity item.

Its being flushed down the toilet several times a day now.

They should very conspicuously post a sign on the door to that effect and police should respect it when the 911 calls come in.

It might be that most of their customers are criminals anyway.

I firmly believe in giving the customer what they ask for. Time for a press release from the police; something along the lines of-

"We've been asked not to frequent this business establishment; we can assure you that police will not be found anywhere near the business. Any calls to respond there will be prioritized to a very low level at the owners request."

Like ringing the dinner bell for criminals.

I would be just the opposite. If that were my store, I'd give officers free coffee and build a good relationship with them.
I certainly wouldn't fit in there.

Not just welcomed but encouraged to come in and they got free coffee to boot. Actually, I'd bet there are still places that welcome cops in my town.

Let me get this straight. I have to bake a homo a cake or be sued out of business, but I can eject an officer from my establishment? Does anyone but us see where this path is leading?

Build the wall!

Add some north-south pieces.

Jumbo 54, same with me & my small town.
If troopers or sheriff dept are the restaurant, I quietly ask the waitress for their check. I remain
Anoonoymus. I don't want them to think they owe me anything.

I want to see the people who patronize this business to understand the type of people who are concerned for their physical/emotional safety from cops.

And if this has something to do with illegal immigrants, then ICE should have a dedicated presence in the area.

I'd check it out myself but I don't go near the shit town of Oakland.

Yeah, me too.

I am so old that I remember walking down the street in my home town and being greeted by the county sheriff and chief of police. Just one of those, "Hi, I am sheriff xyz. Do you have any questions for me, or issues with which the sheriff's department help?"

Same kind of greeting by the Chief.

My mother ended up joining the police department a couple years after I went in the army.

Don't know about anyone else here on the forum, but I always greet LEOs. Shake hands with them and thank them for their service.

A number of them tend to get a little uncomfortable when they see me change direction and head for them, but end up with a nice smile and thanks for the courtesy.

Those guys have a really hard job and each and every one of them deserve our thanks.
