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.

    Until the next republican runs on making it one (or this case goes all the way up to the current supreme court), it’s not a stretch that they could become one given that veterans already are, I know they aren’t now, but that can change quickly

      First, any veteran worth their weight in salt know they aren’t some sort of Messiah for the people. Those of us that served, myself included, joined and did our jobs to protect others; family, friends, communities, and country. Only those veterans with selfish intentions would hold a private business in less regard for refusing service to anyone they are legally able to refuse service to.

      Second, this is about uniformed police, not veterans. Those two things are not synonymous. Veterans, the ones I mentioned in the first paragraph, don’t feel the need to walk around with their dicks guns out to buy a bagel. I’m not sure if you are conflating them out of ignorance or a misunderstanding.
