Two black men entered a Starbucks in Philadelphia on Thursday the 12th and took seats while waiting for a friend. An employee demanded that the two men leave, because they had not ordered anything. When the men refused to leave, an employee called the police to have the men removed. White people in the Starbucks told the police that the black men had not done anything wrong. ( Its always a good thing in America for black people to have white people justify your right to exist). The black men were arrested and taken to the local pokey. The friend showed up as they were being escorted out of the coffee shop. They men were released. The police commissioner, who is black, backed the actions of his officers. The CEO of Starbucks apologized. The Mayor apologized. The police commissioner is still a self-hating racist.
BlackLivesMatter Philadelphia held protests at the establishment. The Starbucks employee and the police commissioner need to be fired. The white people who recorded the event and spoke out need to be applauded.Unfortunatley, this is how black men are treated by police in the United States of America. Many people sit around in Starbucks using the Wi-Fi without purchasing anything.
Comments
A similar incident happened in a Glendale, California Starbucks. A white male who didn’t make a purchase was given the code to the restroom. A Black was denied the code. When he inquired why he wasn’t given the code, he was instructed to leave the premises.

Looking at the video, there is a possibility that the two men knew each other and were testing for biased behavior. Whether they knew each other or not, the black guy was not given the code and told to leave the premises by the manager.

Tamir Rice died because a white man who had been drinking called the police.
John Crawford died carrying a toy gun because a white man lied about Crawford representing a threat.

False fire alarms, claiming alien invasions, and false fire alarms are crimes. Call in a report on innocent black people, putting those men at risk of death, is not a crime. Things have to change.

No, false accusations aka filing a false report is also a crime.
