A bakery in San Francisco turned a police officer away because he was armed.
Reem's bakery said it is maintaining a strict policy not to serve anyone carrying a gun.
The San Francisco police union was not happy.
Some cops in San Francisco will have to look elsewhere for their leavened goods after Reem's California, a local bakery chain, said it is enforcing a policy not to serve anyone armed.
The San Francisco Police Officer's Association responded on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that Reem's — a local bakery chain — had recently denied service to an officer who was in uniform.
""NO COPS ALLOWED. That's the confirmed policy of the bakery chain Reem's," the union said in its post on August 24.
The post included a screenshot of an email from Reem's sent to the association that said the company has a policy "to not serve anyone that is armed in a uniform."
It's unclear if Reem's policy applies to all people who are armed or only those who are armed and wearing a uniform.
Reem's did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Sunday, but the bakery chain did post a statement to Instagram Friday that said that it strives to "foster an environment of safety for our staff and customers."
"In a time of increased gun violence — particularly impacting people of color, youth, and queer people — we believe that a strict policy of prohibiting guns in our restaurant keeps us safer."
The restaurant thanked the community for their support in the past and said that it is temporarily closed, but "can't wait to reopen our doors very soon and provide the sanctuary space you all deserve."

Yeah, I don’t get that at all. Millions of people carry guns. Most of them think of them as a tool, much like a Leatherman or a knife. It’s carried in case a job needs to be done requiring the correct tool or one that will work in a pinch.
God Bless all you LEO’s.
I know it would never happen, because you have too much honor, and integrity, but sometimes, I just wish you guys would ANNOUNCE that you were going to stand down next Wednesday, or something, and let the folks have what they want for 24 hours.
It’s against your oaths, I know, so you’ll never do it, but I’m getting sick and tired of the liberals trash-talking you and then calling 911 when they are in trouble. I really don’t want this, it’s too horrible to think about - I’m just venting.
Those are not guns they are peace makers.
Crime prevention always requires extra help.
Once again proving liberalism is a disease with no cure.
Use doughnuts??? ewww!
If a local bakery hereabouts or any other place I frequent were to openly state such a policy I would not enter it again, would not even walk in front of it. Once known it is a robbery or murder magnet.
