I saw this story on FR a few days ago. I was at the Oregonian website looking for the latest news on the missing little boy, and saw this story too.

In Portland, cop-hating seems to be good business.

Take a look at these commie scumbags in the photo at the link.

When they get robbed, who are they planning to call?

real pinnacle’s of society there
i dont understand what has happened to this country i really dont

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Libtards don’t ever think that far ahead, donchaknow.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Brilliance in action - publicly make a big deal about cops not being welsome and then brag you are rolling in the CASH from an increase in business.

It does not take the Amazing Kreskin to predict that the next news story on this joint will be that it was robbed.

It would be funny if the crooks were reading this “We had two $1,100 days”

[equalitybeforethelaw]

I wonder if armed robbers read newspapers? Just saying.

[avacado]

"We had two $1,100 days, which is maybe double a typical day."

Yeah, serving foliage to anarchists all day isn't exactly a robust business model. You might want to put a double meat bacon cheeseburger on that menu, eco boy!

That was already asked of the owner and he replied (I'm not making this up) that he would call his friends.

Whatta Brainiac.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Wow...a really unique look they've cultivated. They're...like...so edgy. BWHAHAHAHA.

[goodnesswins]

It’s only temporary because of their notoreity....I predict. The guy is probably a liberal with a concealed carry weapon license.

[the Real fifi]

Hope the new customers are all robbers and thieves.

[kingu]

Wait, wait, there's something fishy with this story... I've never seen an officer in uniform pay for a cup of coffee in my life!

Hey, they don't want the officer there, I see no problem with it. God Bless the freedom to be an idiot and an ass.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Portland is another world.....

Love the guy with the "No Police" shirt.

From his looks, I assume he is a great admirer of the Second Amendment./sarc

FTA:

Online commenters have asked what the cafe's seven co-owners would do if they were attacked. Call the police?

"I don't think we are trying to be purists about it," Langley said. "We would prefer that there be some practical alternative to police like community forums for restorative justice, for example."

No, JennysCool is not making this up....

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Useless garbage....

[GeronL]

$5 for a bowl of beans and rice and $7.50 for a bowl of salad they should be charged with price gouging. lol.

[Cyber Liberty]

Hey Laz...would you hit either of these two chicks? I bet the one in the middle has furry things....

[FrankR]

Ya know, if you take a big poop, your pants will fit better too...temporarily.

They needn't start watching the shopping channel regularly for a place to spend all that new money...it's called a surge...curiosity seekers, and probably some mangy press types too.

The asked a cop (who was on his way out the door anyway), to leave...now there's courage.

They made sure they got his money, FIRST.

And the threw him out just because he's a cop...and that's "profiling".

What about any of that makes these scrungebuckets into heroes?

Maybe a group of Hell's Angels should drop in for coffee...and "protest" that they can't also get a "Steak".
