Private business, police are not a protected class, the end.

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

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.

"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."

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Better yet, have them arrested for trespassing. LMAO

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

What are the odds that the police take this snub badly and do something petty and vindictive in return?

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Coppers do like their doughnuts.

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 ______”

[–] singron@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They didn't actually win. It had the some procedural non-decision that the Colorado bakery case had (i.e. the regulator failed to be sufficiently neutral). They got fined again and that is being appealed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_v._Oregon_Bureau_of_Labor_and_Industries

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They’ll keep appealing it down to nothing. It’s back in Oregon now, give it a few months. What a waste of tax payer millions. Just make the fucking cake.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

'just make the fucking cake' is not something that you hear every day.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Post this on Twitter or similar and they will be jumping hoops to say it’s ok.

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?).

odds on there being an 'incident' at that location in the near future, and the cops responding stop at dunkin' for coffee and a donut while on the way there....?

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

So, basically 0.

Does this police chief have beef with the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, and every other major sports organization?

None of them allow firearms on site unless you are on duty

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.

Didn’t SCOTUS rule that private businesses can now discriminate?

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Based bakery. If the sporting goods store where they bought the piece makes people not carry and they respect that then they should respect other stores that ask people not to.
