It's what I read in the news, heard on the radio, watched in the news, when the incident first occurred.
Do you have any proof that law enforcement responding didn't ask the two guys to leave the store, at which point they refused and in turn was arrested?

So them arguing with the employees was is just another one of your made up stories in this thread. Because every single article I've read says otherwise.
Watch the video and hear what the eye witnesses in the store are telling the police. No one says anything about the men being rude. Instead they're questioning why the police are there as these 2 men did nothing.
Why not form a business start-up group with the same like-minded people & create/build a competing business model 'Moonbucks' or something like that?
A coffee start up? No thanks - that's a bit played out don't you think?
I think to get into food services you have to be a franchisee or passionate about your product. I don't care for coffee and I've got zero interest in food OR retail. These are low-margin businesses for the most part. And I certainly wouldn't ever try to mix business and politics...I'm not a Clinton.
Even truly wealthy people typically don't venture into these spaces and those that do view it more as a lifestyle/hobby business. They like the bragging rights of being "the owner" or having their own table whenever they want, or whatever drives that mentality.
There are a few that treat the business ventures as an extension of their personal brands and are successful at it, like Oprah, Michael Jordan, Paul Newman, Sean John, Dre, Marc Antony, or Maria Sharapova... just to name a few of the most memorable. But that kind of a venture requires pre-existing celebrity/fame, and typically their "brand opportunity" is vastly economically superior to their own original method of success, whatever it was.
The argument, and rudeness came before the video was taken. How convenient.
The manager of Starbuck's who called the police never even claimed they were rude.
Even if they were rude, businesses shouldn't call the police on someone for simply being rude. That's not a crime and not a reason to call the cops. It's just not.
They do! And suggesting that they dont without evidence is inciting.
So you're doubting the claims that some white people at that Philadelphia Starbucks claimed that they had been given access to the restroom without buying anything ?
What would be the motivation for those white people to lie?

When the manager asked them to leave they refused repeatedly. At that point they were TRESPASSING. That IS a crime. That is why she called the cops. She told the cops they were rude, profane, and causing a disturbance. That is Disorderly Conduct. Another CRIME. Listen to the police tapes.
