'I've lost my business': Mother is forced to CLOSE her coffee shop after her daughter refused to host a 'Coffee with a Cop' evening there calling police 'racist bullies'
The owner of a coffee shop has been forced to shut down her business following backlash over her daughter's anti-police remarks on Facebook.
Kato Mele decided to shutter the White Rose Coffeehouse in Lynn, Massachusetts just a week after the controversy erupted, saying she made the decision 'so I can stop being harassed'.
The uproar started when Mele's 23-year-old daughter Sophie, who works as a manager at the coffeehouse, said on Facebook that the cafe would never host a 'Coffee With A Cop' event and went on to call police racists and bullies in the subsequent discussion thread.
Coffee With A Cop is a nationwide movement to build trust between police departments and the citizens they serve.
'I will gladly host a "meet an ex-con" or "meet the impoverished minority community" event,' Sophie wrote in comments that have since been deleted, but copies of which were obtained by DailyMail.com. 'I'm not going to promote any pro-police event because I'm adamantly anti-police.'
She went on to call cops 'bullies' who uphold an 'inherently violent, oppressive and unjust system'.
The remarks spread quickly across the Internet and sparked a massive backlash, with many who took issue with the anti-police sentiment leaving scathing online reviews for the coffeehouse.
Sophie responded by offering an apology for her remarks on Facebook.
But as the furor grew, her mother Mele fired her from the manager position at the coffee shop.
The online cries for blood continued, however, and Mele penned a heartfelt apology letter published by the local newspaper.

Sadly her looks seem to be her best trait considering her total lack of intelligence. If her family money ever runs out her life will likely take a miserably dark turn.
My remark wasn’t about her outward appearance it was about her ugly core.
Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin.
You never come out the way you went in.
Boo hoo.
Oh gag, that pretty much says it all right there.
And notice how she calls it “my business”, um, no idiot. It was your mother’s business, which YOU torpedoed.
What a maroon she is....

Well, there’s a small piece of good news. Good job, mom.
Yelp has some "cleanup" to do as a result of the news. I hadn't heard of "Yelp Talk" before.
So, it looks like the mom tried to host events to bring together cops and members of the community. Her daughter is so mental and stuck-on-stupid that she torpedoed this idea.
I am totally convinced that these people will never, ever be happy or satisfied with anything except unending misery. Now she wrecked her mom’s business and her own livelihood. Is she happy now?
Well, the article says she loves ex-cons. I'm sure they would be a great big help...to the robber.
Children should be reminded frequently they can be disinherited with the stroke of a pen
I’m sure this brat would say “Go ahead and disinherit me — I don’t want your stinking bourgeoise, white-privilege money anyway, Mom.”
Usually, libs get conservative businesses like cake shops shut down. Glad to see she nuked one of her own.
Mom could have saved the business if she went public and totally disavowed her lunatic daughter. She could have held the presser in front of the police station. Customers would have not held her daughters actions against her. She chose not to.
More winning!!

Well lady, you had her, you raised her and you suffer the consequences of her actions. I must wonder though if you’re of the same belief system as this homely idiot daughter of yours by giving up so easy and not trying to make amends AFTER you FIRED her!!
Either the Mom was an absentee owner or entirely condoned that entrance display.. I’m going to suspect she well knew what her daughter was up to and absolutely condoned it until the shop imploded by her daughter’s decision.
I hope this weirdo never needs a cop.
