PROVIDENCE — Protestors marched in Providence Monday afternoon in support of the "black lives matter" movement.

A group of about 50 people gathered outside of a Providence Dunkin' Donuts on Atwells Avenue, where an employee last week wrote "black lives matter" on a police officer's cup of coffee.

For about an hour, they carried signs and posters in support of the movement. Several told NBC 10 News they believe the employee didn't do anything wrong.

Activists also said they feel the Providence Police Union overreacted to the incident and that the phrase, "black lives matter," isn't anti-police, but pro-African American...

..At a Dunkin’ Donuts in Providence, Rhode Island on Friday, a local police officer received a cup with “#blacklivesmatter” written on the side, a reference to the protest movement opposed to police violence. The next day, in West Hartford, Connecticut, an employee reportedly told a police officer waiting in line: “We don’t serve cops here”
Following the incident in Providence, the local police union, which represents Providence police officers, spoke out. The Fraternal Order of Police, whose members believe that “all lives matter”, said the incident is “unacceptable and discouraging”.

“The negativity displayed by the #Blacklivesmatter organization towards Police across this nation is creating a hostile environment that is not resolving any problems or issues, but making it worse for our communities,” the union said in a statement.


It was said Dunkin apologized for the behavior of these employees and the “we don’t serve cops here” one claimed to have been joking.

Yep, another fraud organization the media collaborates with. It's always a bunch of white hipsters & anarchist types with token blacks sprinkled in. Notice that the media always zooms in and interviews blacks to keep the narrative optics going.
