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.
Well, if you are not from America you can look at Russian police, that beats protesting students, pregnant mothers and kills jogging programmers. And all of this in the Moscow, I’m not even saying what happens in regions.
What does that have to do with an American bakery’s gun policy?
What does perception of police to do with an American bakery’s gun policy?
Besides US cops doing all of that and worse on a depressingly regular basis, what does Russian police behaviour have to do with the decision to ban guns in a shop in the US?
I don’t want anybody bringing a weapon into my business either, especially guns as they’re the most wildly dangerous kind, and I don’t care who is carrying it. Cops are as likely to kick off and shoot someone as the next person, better to keep all weapons far, far away from my business.
If you’re a cop and you want to buy something from my business, you’re perfectly welcome, but you’ll have to leave your gun somewhere else.
I am not a gun nut or anything, but I’m pretty sure those signs are useless. Not only do most people conceal carry, but any robber or shooter coming to your business to actually use a weapon is not going to be deterred by a no guns allowed sign.
It may stop one or two open carry dummies from using your business. Also, cops, obviously. That might be enough of a reason to put the sign up, still. I’d probably just put up a no cops allowed sign.
I was answering why police perceived shitty, but you answered it better and in US context.
