Starbucks, Police And Mayor Respond To Controversial Arrest Of 2 Black Men In Philly April 14, 201811:56 PM ET A video that's now amassed almost 7 million views on Twitter depicts police officers handcuffing two black men in a Philadelphia Starbucks. Onlookers in the background are incredulous. "What did they do?" one man asks. "They didn't do anything," a woman responds. "I saw the entire thing." In a video statement streamed on Facebook Live from the Philadelphia Police Department's page, Commissioner Richard Ross confirmed that on Thursday afternoon at 4:40 p.m., Philadelphia police received a 911 call from the Starbucks at 18th and Spruce Streets alleging disturbance and trespassing. When police arrived, two Starbucks employees told them two men had asked to use the restroom but were told they couldn't because they hadn't purchased anything. The men allegedly refused to leave after being asked by Starbucks employees. Ross also said the two men refused to leave after being asked three times by police officers. So, Ross says, officers arrested the men. The attorney for the two men, Lauren Wimmer, told the Philadelphia Inquirer she received word that the two were being released from custody at 12:30 a.m. Friday, nearly eight hours after the initial 911 call. Ross confirmed that the officers released the men from custody after they discovered Starbucks was not planning to prosecute them. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/14/602556973/starbucks-police-and-mayor-weigh-in-on-controversial-arrest-of-2-black-men-in-ph This is a little ironic. The only reason people want to go to Starbucks is because it's a safe zone for white people in the inner city. If Starbucks allows the element in then it becomes like the rest of the hood. I believe this is the point were theory meets reality. |

Racism is apparently the new "slip and fall" lawsuit for businesses. |

Rampant virtue signaling and white guilt on the Washington Post Twitter feed. They just can’t handle that black men commit an insanely disproportionate amount of crime and are judged accordingly. |
