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 didnt 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 customers 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.
Its become accepted to not trust or to see police and think that were not here to serve you, Ferraro told FOX 10.

Tons of snowflakes and SJWs. ASU used to be one of the more normal college campuses but it seems the PC takeover of our colleges is pretty much a totally done deal.
The radical PC cadres have finished their long march and completely taken over the liberals arts departments and are consolidating their stranglehold on the Administration. They have intimidated the business schools into submission and they are now engaged in their assault on the so called STEM departments.
They only associate and hire like minded individuals and the ostracize people who are not 100% enthusiastic and on board with their agendas. They are both vicious and ruthless when dealing with people who do not conform to their orthodoxy and they are totally unconcerned with fairness, honesty or honor.
To them, the end justifies the means. This is scary because they are at heart nihilists who really have no end goal except for furthering their ideology and honing their victim hood centered grudges against society
The complainant should have been asked to leave. That would be appropriate.
Since you’re the only one here alleging CA is great, you tell me.
The complaining customer should have been kicked out.
Btw, I'm the one who stated "Texas ought to watch what it wishes for" when their governor traveled to CA trolling and begging for jobs. Look it up.
When I see a police officer or two anywhere, I thank them for what they do...
We know that the wimpy-a$$ ceo will not go on nationwide TV to beg forgiveness. He will not close all stores for employee retraining. The barista will not be fired.
Because the POS hates cops, the USA, and us.
I hope that hordes of specially-privileged individuals vomit in the toilets, pi$$ all over the floor, p**p everywhere, and ask for a free coffee.
Hard to believe this happened in Arizona.
Bleed over from the crapola from that state to the west of them.
And yet when a “barrista” in Philadephia asked two blacks who were loitering around a Starbucks there without purchasing anything to leave, all h*ll broke loose and eventually the store was closed for a day while its employees received training on sensitivity and respecting the rights of others - sensitivity and respect for the rights of blacks - si - sensitivity and respect for the rights of policemen - not so much.......
Arizona is an open-carry state with very agreeable reciprocity laws.
You’d think these snowflakes would come to realize they are on the margins here.
Try to imagine if someone had complained that they didn’t “feel safe” because there were 5 cholos with MS-13 facial tattoos sitting at a table. There would be complete outrage and cries of ‘racism’ from the leftists in the media. Starbucks would have to shut down for a “day of healing” and the manager would have been fired immediately. I doubt that Starbucks’ corporate office will be as upset about this as they were about the removal of the black, non-customers in Philadelphia last year.
Starbucks should start posting signs welcoming law enforcement and the problem would be solved. The signs would need to be in Spanish of course.
Not quite. I was in a Phoenix area Chick Fil-A recently and three policemen walked in. Everyone was glad to see them.
Try strapping on a gun and holster and walking down the street in California. You can still do that here.
Police should call ICE to join them for coffee... ICE Coffee...
I dont go to Starbucks but if I did, I would stop. I am surprised the company has not fired the employee and manager. They should. A full boycott of Starbucks is well deserved.
And if someone complains about the presence of Muslims, what will Starbucks do?
Reasons to be offended by Starbucks..
They sell Black Coffee... that’s racist
They sell ICE Coffee, and ICE deports illegal immigrants...
They sell Cold Brewed Draft Coffee and libs are anti-draft..
Can’t find a single reason to go to Starbucks. I get a free coffee at GETGO because I’m a vet. Even if they wanted me to pay for it, I’d go.
Starbucks? Ever try to get a NORMAL coffee there? They don’t know what you’re talking about.
I neverbsaid ca was great. I asked why a company would leave the state.
A google search reveals (no surprise) that the media is ignoring this deliberately. But when it was 2 Black men who were asked a question, it was 24/7 obsession.
The cops should have said “No, we’re not leaving. Are you going to call the police?”
FU starbux.
