The police commissioner is a black man and even he said that the officers didn't do anything wrong.
Let us say that Starbucks doesn't have a 'No Loitering' policy. Instead, let's say that the manager was wary of two young fellas sitting around not ordering anything and asked them to order or leave (we don't know because we are only showed the arrest on video, not the before or after altercation) and they resisted. Maybe the manager asked a few times and they refused to 'order or leave'. If people assume the police were called simply because they were black, then the police show up and ask the young men to leave (because that is what was asked by the Starbucks manager), do people really think that the police would have left without arresting the defiant fellas JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE WHITE? I don't get it.
"Young men, Starbucks asked you to leave."
"But, we are white."
"Oh, sorry, be on your way then."
Was it ever proven that the dudes said, "Is it okay if we sit and wait for our friend? We will order coffee when he gets here."? It almost sounds like a social experiment
"Have two young black men enter a Starbucks and refuse to order anything. Then have them proclaim they are waiting for a WHITE friend who shows up conveniently as they are being arrested. Have said young men dress in sloppy sweat pants and the 'white friend' dress in business attire and see how public reacts."
I dunno guys. Seems like a non issue if you have worked in the service industry. Please, correct me where I am wrong.
