San Francisco’s police union says a city bakery chain has a “bigoted” policy of not serving uniformed cops.
The San Francisco Police Officers Assn. wrote in a social media post last week that Reem’s California “will not serve anyone armed and in uniform” and that includes “members of the U.S. Military.” The union is demanding that the chain “own” its policy.
Reem’s says, however, its policy isn’t against serving armed police officers. It’s against allowing guns inside its businesses.
Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t the same people having a whinge over this make the point about how businesses have the right to choose who they serve? I believe this was a few years ago when a different bakery refused to serve gay people.
So it wasn’t about the rights of business to be run without government interference afterall.
Well there is a shocker.
Being gay and being a cop are not at all the same. One is a sexual orientation and one is a job. Cops chose their job.
I think you may have misunderstood my post.
A few years ago conservatives got their back up because a bakery refused to serve gay people and reasonable people found that to be wrong.
Conservatives argued that a business has the right to choose who they serve without government interference. And this was held up in court.
Therefore those same people complaining about another bakery not serving the police is the same thing. But now the shoe is on the other foot and they are crying foul.
My post was meant to point out yet another example of hypocrisy from conservatives.
The point they made enhances yours. Yes it is hypocritical, but is arguably worse on the conservatives’ part since sexual orientation is something you’re born with.
They don’t believe you’re born with it.
Thanks for explaining - yes I misunderstood and thought you were saying that those who were mad a bakery refused to serve gay people shouldn’t try to ban anyone else from their own stores. Sorry about that and thanks for explaining!
All good. Glad I had the opportunity to explain my position.
Thankyou.
Fowl: bird. Foul: bad.
Though I’ll assume auto correct.
Peace!
Thank you for picking that up. I have updated the post.
That just makes the hypocrisy even worse!
Joke incoming: gay community already accepted cops as their kind.
Or is it? Or did they?
Wonder if we can use this to infer something about the thin blue line, back the blue folks…
I’m sure there is a message in there somewhere. I wouldn’t know because I’m just a dumb Libtard. But I’m sure those conservative geniuses out there could figure it out.
I don’t think the police unions supported that bakery.
