        Such bullcrap. If they were white and Starbucks called the police, at most, the officers would've asked them to leave. There would have been no handcuffs and no arrest. This is blatant racism by the store employees and the police.

        You're reacting without reading the article. The police asked them to leave 3 times and they refused. Starbucks Manager asked them to leave before police got there. And the Manager was himself a Blackman.

        Ok, I’m all for trump and police, but even I have call you on your bullshit. First - the manager is Holly Hylton, a white woman. Second- she never asked them to leave instead she just call the police (witnesses statements). And lastly, the police also did not ask them to leave.

        If you think it's normal to call the police on 2 black men waiting for their third party to arrive, then you're part of the problem. This is reminiscent of the 1960s lunch counter protests. It's ridiculous that people of color still face racial injustices in today's society.

        People of Hispanic descent face racism. People of Middle Eastern descent face racism. Anything other than lily white skin scares these people.

        Some Hispanic people have quite lily white skin. You do realize “Hispanic” isn’t a race. So many Hispanic people indulge in that same racism as white people who speak other languages

        White guys everywhere should go to Starbucks today in pairs and sit down to wait for a friend. In protest against what happened to these two black me.

        If the white guy got there first, would he have been asked to leave? Starbucks is often a meeting place. And no, people do not always arrive at same time. It’s not okay to humiliate one group based on color. The job of police was to clear up assumptions, not act upon them!

        Can't blame the cops for something that store did. All the cops did was respond to the call and did their job. The blame should be put on the store manager and the idiot who called police.

        Ppl are educated only to stay they believe in the policy ... sad to say. They forget that we are human and it makes it easy to target nonwhites in this country.
