Chief being black don't mean crap. You are blue are you aren't. Uncle Tom ring a bell?
I have seen several versions of events. Philly is an openly racist city. Been like that for a long time. I was surprised what I heard on Friday and Saturday nights. Openly n word and the c word,like nothing.
Whatever your biases ensure you know, it's clear that you did not watch the video if you think the cops never asked these guys to leave prior to arresting them.
It seems a bit of an over reaction to the antics of a manager
You're old enough and wise enough to know that every incident touted today as proof of the US being a NAZI/Racist county are over-reactions due to the feeble emotional strength, dramatization, and indoctrination of today's leftist youth.
Starbucks shut down their outlet on 92nd and Third Ave. Good riddance. Unfortunately they opened one on Second Ave. between 93rd and 94th atop the subway escalator.
My sentiment exactly...I really think the manager's lack of discretion is the problem here and this doesn't warrant the national uproar that it has created. This is one incident that occurred at a company that has no previous record of racist policies whatsoever. Get over it...
Ppl jump on anything that can lead to a potential payday
Kevin Hart made a good point when he said boycotting them would make no sense because then you would be taking money out of the pockets of black Starbucks employees.

Guess the boys in blue have nothing else better to do than to throw people out of Starbucks like 6 officers really? Of course them being men of color while you have white people defending them didn't help, many even stated they have done the same many times over at the same location. It is just a PR stunt for Starbucks to attempt to clean up their image. I don't buy it and I don't care I still go to Starbucks, for just one prick managers mistake I will continue to get my Starbucks fix.

Proper coffee:
Drip coffee never gets proper coffee flavor. Get yourself a moka pot.
She did but they told her they would rather wait for a friend to show up before ordering & refused to leave. She over reacted or was power tripping and called the cops on them.
Did the men actually tell the employee that they were waiting for a friend? It’s not clear in the things I’ve read. If so, the employee should have been more assertive with them before calling the police.
In any event, I still don’t get why the men didn’t just buy something at this point. Personally, I don’t even sit down without first making a purchase. Or if I’m with a friend, at least one of us makes a purchase before taking up a table. Occasionally, I’ve nursed one cup for longer than I should (like 3 hours or so) but I kind of know I’m wrong and if an employee approached me, I would leave or buy something else.

I hate Starbucks... Burnt coffee, and products full of GMOs... Keep drinking the kool-aid folks!
