The San Francisco Police Officers Assn. claims that a bakery in the Reem's California chain denied service to one of its officers because he was in uniform.

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.

    Ok, and I think yours is a piss poor take. Someone can want to do good and try to make a difference. You’re saying no one ever can so let’s just demonize the lot. Change doesn’t happen that way.

      At one point, the system is so rotten that it needs to be reconstructed from the ground up.

      As we’ve seen with so many PDs, corruption is rampant and the PDs actively discourage going against the club.

      Any change proposed to reign in the PDs is met with extreme resistance.

      And that’s not mentioning that many PDs have close ties to racist groups.

      I get that some people enter to make a difference, but those that really do want to change the police for the better get chewed out by their own. The other that stay turn a blind eye and are not really trying to make a difference anymore

      There is no goodwill coming from PDs. Always some dumb platitudes with no real changes.
