    “What did they get called for?” a man asked, referring to the police. “Because there are two black guys sitting here meeting me?”https://nyti.ms/2IXFGtW

        Starbucks needs to fire the employee that had them arrested, unless he/she can provide legitimate reason other than the color of their skin. The cops that arrested them need to be disciplined as well. Just because an employee calls the cops doesn't mean arrests are justified.

        The cops deserve to be fired too. They had no probably cause. This is a civil rights violation.

        The cops were responding to a trespassing call. This falls on Starbucks, not the cops. When you are asked to leave and refuse it’s trespassing

        Everyone, including cops, is obligated to use their best judgement and qualify the problem. Nothing forced those cops to make an arrest - they could have made a better decision.

        Not if it’s within their department policy. I’m sure they didn’t want hours of paperwork for a pointless arrest. But ultimately if the crime fits the elements of trespassing, then they did the right thing. It doesn’t always come down to judgement, that’s not how policing works.

        Yes, they do. If the necessary paperwork results in overtime they get payed extra.

        Most agencies work 3-12’s, so this happened around noon, meaning the officers were most likely not even half way through their watch when this call happened.

        Starbucks has the wrong strategy. Few of their employees made a mistake. Instead of making the entire company responsible for it, they should fire those employees, issue a statement denouncing discrimination & close the case. The cops who made the arrests, need to be disciplined.

        So the employees should lose their jobs and star bucks should apologise because shafique from twitter watched probably one 10th of what actually happened and he says so.

        Their policy is to please loiter. A women stood up and said she'd been there for hours without ordering. Another came in during the arrest and asked for the bathroom key and was given it without a purchase. I've done both dozens of times. But I'm white, so no crime.

        Guaranteed... if the 3rd guy had been black, he would have been handcuffed as well for asking the same question. They would have tried to charge him with disorderly conduct or interfering or something... 😒 #StarbucksBoycott

        Trespassing is trespassing. You can call it “waiting,” but it’s a business, not a bus stop bench.

        Are you kidding me? Have you never been to a store, restaurant, bar, movie theater or coffee shop and waited to order or buy something until your friends joined you? You can’t trespass on a place open for business!

        That’s ludicrous. I’ve had literally hundreds of meetings in various coffee shops & every-time one of us gets there first we always order something as soon as we walk in the door. In almost every instance, a text is sent to the late party to ask what they want.

        Oh please no one is buying that excuse. It’s common curtesy to wait and order after the people joining you have arrived. This might come as a shock to someone raised without manners. Coffee houses are designed for people to meet up. Sitting and waiting on company is the norm.

        What excuse? In my experience when meeting people at a coffee shop, whoever gets there first orders, regardless. I’ve literally never seen anyone walk in and sit down somewhere without ordering anything. Ever.
