A group of Arizona police officers were asked to leave a Starbucks coffee shop on July 4 after a customer complained to staff that she “didn’t feel safe” with them being there, reports say.
Five cops from the Tempe Police Department were drinking at a branch of the coffee chain in the city when they were approached by a barista and told that a customer had made a complaint about their presence.
The worker is said to have told them to either move out of the complaining customer’s line of sight or leave the premises entirely, the Tempe Officers Association claimed in a series of tweets.
President of the union, Rob Ferraro, believes the treatment the officers were subjected to is an unfortunate sign of the times.
“It’s become accepted to not trust or to see police and think that we’re not here to serve you,” Ferraro told FOX 10. …

Loosing 5 customers to keep 1 sounds like a business decision only a liberal could love.
It’s not ‘thankless’... Last time I was at my doctor’s office there was a cop waiting too - so I walked over and thanked him for keeping all of us safe. Lots of us do that...
Put customer and that Starbucks on a list, if they ever call police, do not respond.
They should close for a day and have “police sensitivity training”.
Right. I used to go to an all night donut shop precisely because they gave the cops free coffee and they were usually always a group of them there which is precisely why I preferred going there. Safety. No bad guys are going to try anything with the cops around.
That’s absolutely obscene. Sounds like a boycott is called for.
Thanks Olog-hai. Get woke, go broke. The customer should have been told to get out, or to mind their own ****ing business.
Really don’t have much choice. It boils down to what the agency policy says. The higher up political hacks always put the line officer on the hook for the “citizen’s feelings”.
It is under CP-2, code of conduct. Used to be conduct unbecoming. Total BS. 7 more months and I am out.

Hmm , who would you want 5 Police Officers or an Idiot Starbucks picks the Idiot
Tempe. University town.
This is an open invite to thugs looking to make an easy heist, also feel free to physically abuse the females on the way out, hello 911, 911...........click
If there really was a customer behind the complaint.
I’m wondering if one or more of the staff wanted the LEOs out and just blamed some non-existent complaining customer....
“Hard to believe this happened in Arizona.”
Very easy to believe it happened in Tempe.
The barista should be fired, but Schultz will probably give her a bonus.
Hopefully other customers would do the same.
Cops should take their time getting to $tarbucks.
The "barista" was a either a fool for not telling the customer who complained that it's a public business as open to the police as to the bitching customer or every bit the piece of crap the complaining turd is. Worse, actually, for running off five paying customers.
If she “didn’t feel safe” does that mean she has wants on her? If she is a drug dealer I guess she would not feel safe.
Posted before I saw your comment. About the only student body in AZ that’s more obnoxious than the Scum Dribbles would be that of the University of Arizona.
