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.

    Even if it were a policy against serving cops, didn’t the Supreme Court literally just rule that a business can deny any group?

    If you can refuse to serve gay people, you can refuse to serve cops. This shit goes both ways.

      True, but court would claim the previous ruling was focused on contracted custom services and freedom of speech.

      It would be pretty easy for them to craft an argument in favor of letting the cops in, as hypocritical as it may be.

        this is what being conservative is all about. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

        So then the Masterpiece Cake Shop ruling, maybe.

        That one might apply better. Same outcome.
