Private business, police are not a protected class, the end.

Lol! "Bigoted and discriminatory"! As if they were born a cop, had no choice to be anything other that a cop, and could never be without a uniform or a weapon. Fuck 'em.

My partner was a charge nurse on a psych ward for 16 years. Many of her interactions with police were as follows:

POLICE: buzzes the desk
My Parnter: Yes?
P: This is officer so-and-so with the so-and-so police department. We have a warrant for the arrest of a patient on your ward. Let us in.
MP: Okay, but this is a secure ward and firearms are not allowed. Surrender your weapons at the security office and I'll grant you access to make your arrest when you return.
P: I'M NOT SURRENDERING MY WEAPON!
MP: Well, then can't enter this ward.
end of conversation

They also have to check their guns when they go into places like prisons, so those guys are just idiots.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 year ago

Yes, but that's to their friends; not people who should be obeying their instructions without question like the peasants they are.

something something gay wedding cake. Last I checked LEO isn't a protected class. And they aren't even denying LEO, just those that come in on-duty and are armed. So yeah, get fucked pigs.

Not all cops are bad. Don’t paint them all with the same brush.

Edit - Jesus y’all want to go lynch some cops. I wasn’t expecting so much bigotry from the crowd here. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug I guess

[-] ProIsh@lemmy.world 79 points 1 year ago

Yeah! Just 99%. Don't lump them all together.

Not allll yardage yadda

[-] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

The other 1% are also bad for just sitting idle.

Yes, they are. Good cops are actively forced out of police departments. It's a very well documented phenomenon.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 year ago

Pretty much anyone who's a good cop isn't a cop anymore because they turned against the bad cops. The bad cops are still there.

Cop is a job where all sorts of people, good and bad, go to become bad people. Acab

They're the ones painting themselves.

"We ban firearms in this establishment."
"WE're cops!"
"Got a warrant? Otherwise, you're violating our rules and regulations and we ask you to leave."

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

Better yet, have them arrested for trespassing. LMAO

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

you can try.... I've actually been there. Sort of.

Used to work contract security. my client was next to a MLB ball field- their parking lot literally was next to the service entrance, so the various staff that weren't special (concessions, security, etc,) would park there. A lot of their ball game security are moonlighting cops or retired cops... they liked to tail gate after the game.... but the city would revoke the license for running a parking lot if we allowed alcohol.

Getting drunken cops to leave your property when the other cops tried to be like "what's the harm," etc is no good.

Fun story time... a couple of friends of mine were walking home after a night of drinking and some cops pull over and get out and say, "two white men in dark clothes just robbed the gas station down the road and you fit that description." One friend said, "you're two white men in dark clothes so you fit that description too. I'm going to have to make a citizen's arrest." My other friend said the cuffs got put on them at light speed. They got charged with public intoxication. We don't know if the two white men in dark clothes were ever caught.

What are the odds that the police take this snub badly and do something petty and vindictive in return?

That Oregon bakery who refused to sell to a gay wedding ended up winning in the appeal, so if you can say “no gays” you can say “no ______”

[-] singron@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

They didn't actually win. It had the some procedural non-decision that the Colorado bakery case had (i.e. the regulator failed to be sufficiently neutral). They got fined again and that is being appealed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_v._Oregon_Bureau_of_Labor_and_Industries

cops arnt even people so dont see the prob at all

[-] n2burns@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 year ago

This policy doesn't seem weird to me at all, but I'm Canadian. I've seen establishments that don't allow weapons on site. So except in emergency situations, police officers need to secure their weapon before they enter the store (I think they put them in the gun locker in the trunk of their car?).

If its legal for someone to hypothetically not create a wedding announcement website for gay people because she doesn't want to serve those kinds of people, then there should be nothing wrong with not wanting to serve armed cops.

Baking food and making coffee could be argued to be every bit as "creative" as a website can be if the lawyer is good enough.

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

One is outright discrimination based on sexual orientation. The other is simply a policy applied to all patrons.

It should absolutely be legal to say 'no shoes no service' or 'has gun no service' even if it was not legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation/race/gender/etc. They aren't at all the same thing.

odds on there being an 'incident' at that location in the near future, and the cops responding stop at dunkin' for coffee and a donut while on the way there....?

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

There are only two Dunkin Donuts in SF. Mainly because they are terrible donuts.

So, basically 0.
