A Detroit ice cream store said it will deny service to police officers if they are wearing tactical body armor.
Cold Truth Soft Serve, located at 4240 Cass Avenue, posted a photo on social media of a Detroit police cruiser parked in front of their shop with the caption, "We can tolerate the parking however you please but we will not serve anyone wearing body armor."
The owner, Tim Mahoney, released a statement defending the vegan establishment, which he said prides itself on being a family and community business.
"There are times when police units come through and are outfitted in heavy-duty tactical gear, it is disturbing and unsettling for some of the families in our space. In the last 24 hours, It has come to my attention that the City of Detroit outfits EMS and FIRE with armor, and this is not my concern. It’s the heavy-duty military dress that I’m hoping the city can find a way to minimize in our public spaces."

Smart business move. Announce to all armed robbers that police will not be present on these premises.
I want professional police officers doing that.
After the deluge, the new Covenant was established with Noah. Those non Human Influences or entities who then prior, communed with Humans were never a part of the Noah Covenant. Those whom they influence as well opt to not be of the new Covenant following the Flood.
They decline meat or flesh because they are of those who have dwelled on Earth working to destroy it since the earliest days.This is part of the way of how to recognize them.
Since when is dairy vegan???
I’m of two minds on this. If they will arrest ME for wearing body armor (in some blue zones, it is a crime), ten screw them. Let them make their own damned ice cream.
And Detroit is a war zone and has been for half a century or more. It’s got ruins and everything for atmosphere. Robocop was set there for a reason.
in today’s environment any “peace officer” that goes to fast food places isn’t very smart...
Amen. Police are such crybabies these days. Being a police officer isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in this country. When I see police in body armor, my first thought is 'pathetic wanker'.
> I think the phrase you’re looking for is “peace officer”. <
Yes. Things started going south when “peace officers” became “law enforcement officers” instead.
It’s really odd. The few cops I’m acquainted with don’t even refer to themselves as cops or police officers. It’s always as LEOs.
“Detroit ice cream store won’t serve police in body armor”
Good, they should stick to serving ice cream.
“There is no reason for a cop to be dressed up like special forces”
Unless they’ve been called to stand around at a live school shooter event.
I’m ok with this. Cops should be cops, not running around in tacticool. I see RCMP doing it here too.
Cops in ice cream stores during their shift - just sounds really gay anyway. I’d rather see them talking to their priest in a dark saloon with 3 fingers of bourbon in front of them
Shut your mouth and go to DU where you belong.
I want red brick pattern camo BDUs. I’ll keep them right next to my emergency rolls of tiger stripe tactical toilet paper.
That’s pretty stupid. Do they want to expose police to more danger when they buy ice cream?
I couldn’t find the place on Google Earth, but there is a Planned Parenthood facility across the street from the address given
