    Starbucks will close more than 8,000 company-owned stores on May 29 "to conduct racial-bias education geared toward preventing discrimination in our stores," following an incident in which two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks. https://abcn.ws/2vrK2I5 pic.twitter.com/WdP0l9LGyC

        The police need the same training. Starbuck's didn't arrest then for no reason Philly PD did.

        For no reason? When the police ask you to leave the property you leave it you can sue starbucks later.

        Yes no reason hence the company wide training. It's not that hard to understand. They weren't doing anything wrong and didn't deseve t9 be treated in that manner.

        For some reason unknown to me at this time .I feel that the Starbucks incident was staged by those 3 men to initiate a confrontation and an arrest. If this is investigated in depth we will find out much more

        I agree 🤔These men are at Starbucks waiting for a potential client for a real estate deal dressed like that and can’t afford a cup of coffee ☕️? Sounds fishy to me

        They did just enough not to get a disorderly or resisting charge . They are well aware the trespassing charge will get booted.

        It’s my understanding they were arrested for not complying with being asked to leave for loitering. Why is this a race thing? I’ve been asked to leave an establishment for not purchasing anything and have left. No police called since I did as asked.

        Clearly you’ve never been to a Starbucks, and your understanding of what happened is totally wrong. People sit in StarBucks all the time without buying anything, and are on their laptops, phones, reading books or newspapers. Those guys were actually targeted

        I have been asked to leave from one because I had gone in to see a couple friends but not purchased anything. The employee said I’d have to purchase an item or leave. I said goodbye and left. Happened at a restaurant also. Maybe it’s cause I’m Native

        I think one day without coffee is a pretty good deal in order to educate a lot of people on racial issues. Just an opinion

        You can't loiter no matter what color you are. All they had to was buy a cup of coffee
