Regardless of what we ultimately discover about the case....Desterdetroiter nailed it on the head.

The guy weighed in on a potentially polarizing topic PUBLICALLY and regardless of what comes from the investigation it could potentially alienate customers.

Same goes for if you hate republicans or people that have poodles or gays or fans of the Foo Fighters.

You run a business, it is STOOOOPID to possibly alienate customers. WC Fields pointed this out 90ish years ago, some people just don't learn.

Not surprised you would advocate cop-killing.

So when the retaliation for this one happens, don't come on here crying about those poor cops.
1. Being a big fan of not being shot, I think it's smart to comply with most people aiming a gun at me.

2. Retaliation on cops in general, or this specific cop?

But that's OK. His place is in Detroit. We'll see how this goes down.

“Get ready for the liberal media frenzy of BS,” Jerant reportedly wrote.

What is ironic is that the liberal media is spewing a frenzy a BS over this. What exactly did he say that was wrong?

You'd think this wouldn't be rocket science. But apparently it is.

That makes him even dumber.

His partner is doing damage control, and probably genuinely so.

Will it be enough to keep your business? Will the others keep frequenting the place? What's your guess?

I gotta interject here.

If people didn't do SH*T after Laquan McDonald, the attempted cover-up and payout in Chicago other than some mild protests why do you think there is going to be a big backlash over this one?

Is it because this event is politically safe and will be authorized because it happened in an non democratic bastion?

Riddle me your thought process on this one....because after Laquan's story broke how the EFF to do you top that crap? Ooooh but the police super had to take full retirement....sick burn huh?

BLM has about 6 months left before it joins Sheehan and Occupy. Ask yourself why.

Seriously? That's what you got from the link?

OK..he didn't say anything wrong. That's why he's facing a boycott. For absolutely nothing.

Probably had too much to drink but doesn't excuse the content. Maybe he's got lots of cops in his family and is biased prior to getting the facts, or perhaps is just a bad person....don't know....don't care.

Guys partner has to be completely livid.
