Starbucks is taking the rap for what the police always do — demand instant obedience to arbitrary make ‘em up rules with no back talk or go to jail, hospital, or the morgue.
Over 100,000 blameless Starbucks’ employees tarred with the universal brush of institutionalized American societal racism. False equivalencies hurt the cause of justice and will be democracy’s epitaph if we fall.

Cheap shot.

My understanding is that the men didn’t order anything. People who don’t order anything are not customers.

@Tazztec – one guy was waiting on his friend before ordering. And they got arrested before they could.
Incidentally, I see people in Starbucks not ordering all the time.

Sorry our new policy is police for our minority customers.
