Business says it doesn’t serve anyone who is armed
Private business, police are not a protected class, the end.
Don’t give them ideas
Idk gives me some costume ideas tho.
Introducing: SUPERCOP
That would blow up in their face at this point. None of them want a challenge to section 1983 now that we know the full text of the law. It would strip them if qualified immunity.
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.

Husbando: Hey hun, you feeling in the mood tonight?
Wifey: The sign says no entry! You got that fucking search warrant signed by a judge?
They also have to check their guns when they go into places like prisons, so those guys are just idiots.
Yes, but that’s to their friends; not people who should be obeying their instructions without question like the peasants they are.
So right. If they give up their lethal weapons how else can they be the most dominant person in the room?
“bigoted and discriminatory”
What happened to those supreme court rulings they were so in favor of, that allowed poor little christians to blatantly discriminate against people they don’t like
That sounds delicious to be able to tell them that. I got fired from a retail job I worked for five years for telling customers about the sign on the door that asks them not to carry. Got unemployment so at least the state knew it was bullshit.
“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.”Better yet, have them arrested for trespassing. LMAO
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.
I guess just keep calling the cops just to get the record that you tried to get the alcohol off.
it’s really not that simple. First, if you keep nuisance complaints, they’ll fine you (or in my case, fine my clients. which would have me fired.)
secondly, you annoy the cops enough, they’ll freeze you out regardless of what their policies/rules say, and as a security guard, you’re reliant on them to come save you if you ever have an active shooter or, more likely, just an aggressive asshole who doesn’t like being told they can’t do whatever it is they’re trying to do.Well do it often enough that you can show the city department that you don’t allow alcohol and tried to get them removed (as seen by police records).
you’re reliant on them to come save you if you ever have an active shooter
This is not a good plan, you need to be responsible for your own safety because you can’t count on the imaginary good guy cops to save you from anything. It may be 30 minutes before they show up, or they may not even show up at all.
This is the only plan we got.
Liability is a bitch, ain’t it?
you’re reliant on them to come save you if you ever have an active shooter
…how’d that work out for those kids in Uvalde, tho.
Exactly the point. It didn’t.
That really is a tough one. The only chance you have is to escalate and demand the duty sergeant come down and deal with the problem of his unruly officers or make an extremely public complaint to the media and mayor that will force a response.
You could try the state police non-emergency.
Or find a parking/fire violation that the fire department would care about. I’ve seen them put cops in there place a few times. Even pushed a cruiser down the street in Boston when it was double parked in there way.
I wish I’d had a camera phone back then, I’m pretty sure they don’t report those kind of things into logs that end up in the paper.
Or not yielding.
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.
Lol…. So… uh. Please tell me your friend is putting that snark to use,
Sadly, he passed away. And only in his 20s. And yes, we lost a great comic mind. I say this as someone who has been paid to do stand-up and write comedy: he was far funnier than I will ever be. I still miss him 20 years later.
Damn…. I’m sorry man.
I’m sorry too, but that’s life. And the older you get, the more friends you lose along the way. I’m just glad we were friends for the time he was alive.
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
Yeah! Just 99%. Don’t lump them all together.
Not allll yardage yadda
The other 1% are also bad for just sitting idle.
That bunch is spoiled.
You sound like a racist.
Cop is not a race
When you’re reeeeeally fucking dumb, it is
Eh, pig is technically a different species.
Yes, but they are intelligent, useful to society, and quite friendly with a tiny amount of socialization. None of that is true for the average cop. Remember, they HATE being called a Citizen On Patrol.
Pigs,of both variety, that aren’t restrained turn feral very quickly and can become a massive problem.
Pigs are very nice creatures.
LEOs are boars, nasty things.
how is that racist??? are you implying cops are a race lol
Your privilege is showing…
Prejudice comes in many forms. Be better than that
How dare we be prejudiced against the largest criminal gang in the country!
In history. The US cops commit more murder, theft, rape, and assault than any other organization in history. They don’t even have Qualified Immunity, according to the full text of section 1983, but that’s not what was given to SCOTUS in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald.
It’s not prejudice when literally all the evidence supports it. Maybe you’d be process that evidence more clearly without that pig cock cutting off your oxygen supply.
How in the hell do you keep from falling off that high horse?
Yes, they are. Good cops are actively forced out of police departments. It’s a very well documented phenomenon.
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.
Is it true the good cops aren’t cops any more cause they got kicked out?
In an overwhelming number of situations, yes. Cops are intended to prioritize property over people and convictions over justice. Those who speak out about injustices face retribution from their peers and little defense from their union. Police unions act as criminal legal defense to eschew responsibility.
There have even been legal cases of departments refusing to hire people because they were “too smart”. This is largely speculated to be due to fear of those who are more intelligent speaking out, and having a moral compass of their own rather than blindly following.
Yep. I’m one of them. I applied to the cybercrimes division of the Lexington, KY PD in my naive youth and got an official letter saying they refused to hire me because they were worried that I would “get bored and pursue other employment.” Asked a couple of my lawyer friends and they all agreed that was code for “we’re afraid that you’ll notice all the shit we do, and try to prosecute us” aka, “you’re too smart.”
Press X to doubt.
Doesnt surprise me, considering they were created to stop the poors rising against the rich.
https://www.aclu.org/video/meet-officer-mader-fired-trying-do-right-thing
This is just one of literally thousands of examples that I have seen over the last 30 years
It’s also not even the case I was looking for when I googled “cop fired for not shooting to kill.”
Cop is a job where all sorts of people, good and bad, go to become bad people. Acab
ACAB BOOTLICKER
Lol I have no idea what that means but it sure sounds like bigotry.
Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug buddy. Don’t be like the people you hate

Coppers do like their doughnuts.
I’d be surprised if they didn’t start harassing those bakeries, sadly
Cops don’t like hearing the word “no” when it applies to them
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 ______”
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
They’ll keep appealing it down to nothing. It’s back in Oregon now, give it a few months. What a waste of tax payer millions. Just make the fucking cake.
‘just make the fucking cake’ is not something that you hear every day.
Post this on Twitter or similar and they will be jumping hoops to say it’s ok.
I dont have a Xwitter or a Metabook account
And your life is better for it, honestly.
That was kind of my point, I definitely dont think that they should be going to Twitter.
Police aren’t a race, orientation or protected class. A cop can in fact remove his gun and uniform, it’s not attached to his skin
A cop can in fact remove his … uniform
They better have something on underneath it if they do that in public, tho.
Have you been to San Francisco?
Yes. People don’t usually go around naked. Even during pride and even though it is legal.
It’s too damn cold. 🥶
Just kidding yo!
I was going to say, “Actually that’s not quite true in San Francisco”, but it seems the law changed recently (2012) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_nudity_in_San_Francisco
Still, based on the existing laws, you could walk around in your underwear and be fine.

For “creative” endeavors, yes. If “creative” covers baking would probably be down to how good of a argument a lawyer could make is.
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?).
It’s not weird. Cops are just butthurt that they can’t be super special citizens that the rules don’t apply to.
Or on the seat with the window down.
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.
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.

Not in San Fran they wont. They let criminals run rampant but wont let anyone without Trump money get through the concealed carry permit process. Bruen should have fixed that but who knows if Cali will actually listen with Newsom putting that constitutional amendment to neuter the 2nd amendment out there.
SF has an extremely lot violent crime rate, so what exactly do folks need guns like that for? The “high crime rate” is property crime, like theft. Unless folks want to be out here shooting people for smash and grabs.
cops arnt even people so dont see the prob at all
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…?
There are only two Dunkin Donuts in SF. Mainly because they are terrible donuts.
So, basically 0.
Shit coffee, too. And I say this as someone from the northeast and currently living somewhere are nine Dunks within a one mile radius of my current location.
The coffee is better than Starbucks, but that’s not saying much. Starbucks is only considered good because they add so much sugar and shit you can’t taste the coffee.
See, as a coffee hater, I like Starbucks precisely because it’s not coffee. If a coffee hater likes your coffee…it’s not coffee.
Really? I’ve had a Starbucks Americano and it was fine. Although that’s espresso, not drip coffee. Drip coffee in general is just swill. Especially when it’s some “breakfast blend” bullshit. I’ve never had a blend that’s good, but most single-origin coffees are fine.
The beans at Starbucks are over-roasted to maintain a consistent flavor across all locations. It doesn’t really matter what you get. Espresso might be slightly better, but it’ll always be over-roasted.
🤮
I would suggest Krispy Kreme, but I haven’t seen one of those in CA.
Edit: looks like I’m going to Chula Vista. Haven’t had a Krispy Kreme in years.
Does this police chief have beef with the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, and every other major sports organization?
None of them allow firearms on site unless you are on duty
It’s not like they check for concealed carry though. I did security checks for a MLB team for a bit and I definitely waved through guns after they flashed a badge.
And an off duty cop just shot someone at the White Sox game last week
Welp they’re gonna catch a massive fine, and their whole security staff is going to hate their jobs for the next few years.
Sure, they should be able to turn anyone away, no questions asked.

Everyone is misunderstanding your post. Add the words “your suggested policy could lead back to” before the sign you were referencing. I only finally got that context by reading the entire thread just now
Is being a law enforcement officer a protected class?
Saying something like “I refuse to serve you in the basis of your race” is illegal because race is a protected class. Whereas “I refuse to serve you because your Lemmy hit-takes are dumb” is perfectly legal! Same as refusing to serve armed thugs masquerading as the good guys.
I just had a situation with this at work that I talked to my wife about. A customer wanted us to do something with an image that had full frontal nudity and my bosses had to have a discussion about whether or not to allow it. My wife said, “aren’t they required to?” I pointed out that if that was true, we wouldn’t be able to refuse Neo-Nazis.
You might be interested to know that cops, judges, politicians, and all other government officials don’t actually have Qualified Immunity according to the full text of section 1983 of the federal code. The SCOTUS wasn’t handed the full text in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald. The text was changed illegally in 1874 by one guy when he copied the 1871 Congressional Record into the Federal Register.

Why would you go through that entire description and end with that instead of just linking an article about it?
(Having said that, thanks for bringing it up, I hadn’t heard about this.)
For some more context this place, reems, really isn’t a bakery so much as a middle eastern take out place. The main store is currently closed down though so the only place they have open is a counter serve food court style place in the ferry building, so the cops didn’t get kicked out of the place, they either went to the counter and the cashier refused to serve, or more likely, they saw the new policy online and threw a hissy fit without actually going.
The founder is a Palestinian leftist, so this probably was targeted towards cops/military.
I’d highly recommend going here if your on a tourist trip and end up in the ferry building, not just for the cop hate, but there wraps are great as well.
