San Francisco’s police union says a city bakery chain has a “bigoted” policy of not serving uniformed cops.

The San Francisco Police Officers Assn. wrote in a social media post last week that Reem’s California “will not serve anyone armed and in uniform” and that includes “members of the U.S. Military.” The union is demanding that the chain “own” its policy.

Reem’s says, however, its policy isn’t against serving armed police officers. It’s against allowing guns inside its businesses.

    Guess who just got themselves put on the “do not respond to emergency calls” list?

    Side note:

    It’s San Francisco. Aren’t police the only ones allowed to open carry there? So it’s just a de facto ban on cops.

    Edit: gotta say, I’m confused about the downvotes. I’m pointing out that the police are likely to retaliate. Did I say something that gives the impression I’m condoning that?

        They won’t do nothing, that’s slander.

        They’ll shoot your dog while they’re already in the neighbourhood, and that is objectively something.

      That’s probably for the best.

      If they call the cops and they show up, they’re far more likely to get shot themselves.

      If they would leave people to die in an emergency over donuts then they’re disgusting human beings who don’t deserve anyone’s time of day anyway.

        They won’t leave people to die! That would be terrible! They’ll just shoot the criminals, the victims, a few bystanders and any dogs they happen to see on the way.

      Sounds like cops are allowed if they leave their guns behind, so it’s not a ban on cops at all, just cops who insist on carrying their gun more than they keep their body cameras on.

        They’re not allowed to do that while on duty.

        EDIT: For those down voting, to be clear I don’t disagree with the sentiment, just providing facts to a comment.

          Do they need to eat at a bakery while ‘on duty?’

          Sounds like not the cafe’s problem. The police department could change the rules if they want cops to be able to interact with ordinary people as semi-equals.

      Oh no! Anyway…

      It’s not like they prevent crime, they show up afterwards, take a report and then you never hear from them again. If you’re unlucky, they show up, get spooked, shoot you and lie on the report and still never do anything to help you. What exactly are you missing by having them never show up?

      “do not respond to emergency calls” list

      Bro everyone everywhere is on that list. Cops don’t do anything unless they’re forced to or they get to RP Bad Boys
