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."

I’m with you. I don’t like cops looking like soldiers either. And cops are not friends to conservatives. If the left gets some nutty legislation through in the future to persecute it’s enemies, the cops are the tool. If you doubt me I can prove my point immediately. Get your wife or gf mad enough at you to make a false domestic violence charge against you. And watch how fast those cops arrest you and put you in jail. There is zero presumption of innocence there.
