S.F. bakery won't serve cops, police union claims. Store says it's about the guns, not the cops

San Francisco’s police union says a city bakery chain has a “bigoted” policy of not serving uniformed cops.

The San Francisco Police Officers Assn. wrote in a social media post last week that Reem’s California “will not serve anyone armed and in uniform” and that includes “members of the U.S. Military.” The union is demanding that the chain “own” its policy.

Reem’s says, however, its policy isn’t against serving armed police officers. It’s against allowing guns inside its businesses.

Love all the ACAB comments here. If you’re all anti-gun and anti-cop, who do you call when someone is in harms way, including yourself? You all talk a big game until that game is on your doorstep.

It’s less anti cop, more extreme disagreement with how our policing system currently works. The lack of training, the insanely wide degree of responsibilities, the lack of accountability, etc… They effectively function as a state sanctioned gang.

Yes, if I end up in a dangerous situation and need a person with a gun to help, I will begrudgingly call the police (and pray they don’t shoot my dog) because that’s the option we have. That doesn’t mean I don’t completely disagree with and want to change that system.

ending qualified immunity would do wonders for accountability IMO.

Well first of all, I don’t want to call them because they’d shoot my dog

FontMasterFlex ,

control your dog.

Why even say this out loud?

The whole world is going to shit, and these people are useful idiots. Maintain your weapons, and when the need arises, secure food and resources from them.

FontMasterFlex ,

agree.

By “harms way” do you mean attacked, or other?

FontMasterFlex ,

I mean any time you’d normally call the police. A lot of the ACAB people talk a big game until they are faced with a situation where normal people would call the police for help. Personally, I’m all for personal protection. Train yourself and learn how to use self defence and firearms. Don’t put yourself in sketchy situations. of course that’s not always possible, but thats why you train. for that one in a million time.

Sounds like a good target for a robbery, cause you know the police will take their time getting there.

Aermis ,

Sounds like we shouldn’t have those police.

A childish reaction I totally expect from this corrupt gang.

    No military eh?

    Guess I won’t be eating there.

    Also, with very few exceptions… you won’t find armed military people walking around in the civilian area… so, the rule against armed people is illegitimate here.

    scbasteve7 ,

    The cop said that their policy is to not serve uniformed military, not the bakery. The bakery claims it has nothing to do with being a uniformed officer or military personal, they just dont allow firearms in the building.

    AEsheron ,

    I mean, it shouldn’t be an issue then. The point is they won’t allow armed people in, no matter why they’re armed. They don’t care if you’re a cop or military off duty with no weapons. This is just the union trying to spin it as anti-military/cop. I bet you anything the questions went something like

    Nobody armed?

    Nope.

    Not even military?

    Yup.

    If you want to wear a little tinfoil, one might suspect they asked it like that just for the excuse to paint them as such.

    99% of military walking around are not armed, in fact it would be particularly odd to see anyone but military police walking around armed. Like to the point if I saw that I’d call the military police. Especially off base.

    I’m military and I support the decision to not serve us in uniform. I think it’s probably a little misguided since most of us are office drones same as anyone else, but it’s his store and I wasn’t born in the military, it was my choice* to join.

    *I wanted healthcare and to pay for college.

    CaptainAniki ,

    Military NEVER, and I mean fucking NEVER take service weapons off base unless they are going to fucking WAR.

    xtremeownage ,

    Yup. That’s basically what I was trying to say.

    oldbaldgrumpy ,

    Maybe a better move would be to not serve any gun owner whatsoever. It’s their business, do what you like.

    KingJalopy ,

    That’s exactly what they’re doing. Did you not read beyond the title?

    oldbaldgrumpy ,

    Sure I did…then expanded on what they are doing, joking that they have the right to limit their customer base, and the $ it brings if they choose to. Doesn’t sound like good business to me, but hey, their choice.
