Detroit ice cream store won't serve police in body armor
FOX2 Detroit ^ | July 1, 2022 | Robin Murdoch and Jack Nissen

A Detroit ice cream store said it will deny service to police officers if they are wearing tactical body armor.

Cold Truth Soft Serve, located at 4240 Cass Avenue, posted a photo on social media of a Detroit police cruiser parked in front of their shop with the caption, "We can tolerate the parking however you please but we will not serve anyone wearing body armor."

The owner, Tim Mahoney, released a statement defending the vegan establishment, which he said prides itself on being a family and community business.

"There are times when police units come through and are outfitted in heavy-duty tactical gear, it is disturbing and unsettling for some of the families in our space. In the last 24 hours, It has come to my attention that the City of Detroit outfits EMS and FIRE with armor, and this is not my concern. It’s the heavy-duty military dress that I’m hoping the city can find a way to minimize in our public spaces."

Tim sounds like a complete snowflake, it'd be a shame if his store got robbed.

In a perfect world, I’d support their decision.

But not when you MUST bake a gay cake.

Now, were I a cop, I wouldn’t want their ice cream.

Years ago Tim would get a ticket 🎟 book stuck up his azz, and twice on Sunday.

Who buys ice cream from ice cream parlors anyways? Apart from a few dating teenagers that is.

Easy for him to say. Different for the police in Detroit.

There's no such thing as "Vegan Ice Cream". No cream => No ice cream.

Vegan's do not eat any animal products, including dairy products.

Cops might have a hard time finding the place or they could have car issues or a whole bunch of other problems if the chit goes down.
Pity.

Guess what’s just across the street from this ice cream shop? A Planned Butcherhood body parts shop.

I wonder how those families would feel if there was a meth head shooting the place up. Imma guess that would be upsetting. 😆

Police should not play Army, look like Army and act like Army.

And if they do, then get the job done and get back to being a police officer.

Well Boo F***ing Hoo. What a pathetic whinner. There may be a day that this crybaby will wish there was a cop dressed in any garb in his store at a crucial moment. Like when the animals decide to beat or shoot his ass just for the fun of it.

Since children are raised on videos of “superheroes” dressed in outlandish fetish armor, exactly what “families and children” are traumatized by seeing a policeman in a flak jacket? Makes you wonder if Tim Balony’s scared patrons aren’t terrorists and/or ex-cons.

Biden: Ice cream? Where? Is it a waffle cone? Why didn’t you call me out of the policy meeting? Oh, it’s just about cops being dissed. So what.

People who can tell the difference between medium quality ice cream and first class ice cream.

ML/NJ
