The police are not a businesses private armed security force.

its pretty normal for coffee shops etc to have a policy like that tho
Apr 16th 2018
66
You missed the part where whites in that shop were not asked
Apr 16th 2018
69
So there were a bunch of whites there who also didn't buy anything?
Apr 17th 2018
71
      According to the whites yes, 63 has an example

                Ok so you are more concerned with those camping out than
Apr 17th 2018
75
                     Not sure you gather that from what I said.
Apr 17th 2018
78
                          It's based on your overreaction to "camping out"
Apr 17th 2018
80
                               ''wow'' is an overreaction? Or is it the word ''tacky''?
Apr 17th 2018
87
                                    cmon bruh.. why white folks always gotta confirm the obvious
Apr 17th 2018
90
                                    When did I ever say that?
Apr 17th 2018

Apr 17th 2018
98
What kind of coffee shops do you go to
Apr 17th 2018
70
It's fine to do that after you've bought something, but dude
Apr 17th 2018
72
Just opt not to skim, and "fix the blanks" yourself.
Apr 17th 2018

I'm not justifying anything. I'm asking ppl more into this story

      You're pretending to be unaware of selective enforcement of rules
Apr 17th 2018
104
           No, that happens. So does rape. The question is did it happen here.
Apr 17th 2018
109
                The answer is yes... and it's insane that you brought up rape.
Apr 17th 2018
114
                     You're reaching now smh

176
                          nah, he's wrong. The employees ARE the brand
Apr 18th 2018

           This is my main question...Is it the role of police to interpret this?
Apr 17th 2018
117
           Two thing. 1.) Police have an obligation to investigate.
Apr 17th 2018
141
                Good points
