The arrest of two men in Philadelphia at a Starbucks created quite the buzz, but was the buzz for any good reason? Is there really a problem? If so, what is it?

Starbucks are a bunch of weenies
I was actually working at a Starbucks during this time. Funny, a few weeks before that, I had to call police on a 70 year old Asian women who was in our store for over 9 hours without buying anything. The whole day I was asking her if they needed anything and she said no. When the police showed up, turns out she had a warrant for stabbing a man and fighting police. She even tried to fight the arrest at the store! Starbucks definitely doesn’t want loiterers as it is “unsafe†for their customers (who actually pay). Starbucks threw that manager under the bus (unless they knew something we don’t) just to appease a group of people.
Their minds will always be in a Prison.
starbucks came out and said THERE IS BASICALLY NO SUCH THING AS LOITERING AT THEIR ESTABLISHMENT AS LONG AS U ARE BEING PEACEFUL AND NOT CAUSING A DISTURBANCE TO THOSE AROUND U…. just ask ANYONE that has lived in LA in the last 10 years…. HOMELESS PPL USE STARBUCKS LIKE THEIR PRIVATE SHIT/SHOWER/SHOOT HOUSE, PHONE CHARGING BAY AND "WAIT ON THE DOPE MAN" SPOT…. so i get y ppl are upset that u dont hear ANYTHING about SB having a no loitering policy UNTIL these 2 men walk in the door…
jesus schrist im stoned as hell and this is full screened on my laptop and im trippin the fuck out
The problem with trespassing, if I remove someone from Our business and they become violent odds are I am going to be told I should have just called the authorities. What a crapy deal for the officers.
Its called patronizing the business , the rules are clear , no patron = no business on property
Turds are democrats bet on it
Young turds are shit no mater how they look at it.
WOW!!!!!!! ok cool i guess when one of you morons gets stabbed in the neck by a citizen… I'll just record you with my cell phone and not call the police until i forget the description, of the citizen, and you have bleed out and are room temp……. Really? yet they all want justice any other time….. This all makes perfect sense if : 1. you are a cry "baby back" bitch. 2. If you don't believe ACTUAL science, like you know, the last couple hundred years. 3. your brain has shriveled up and fallen like a dead fruit, and you ACTUALLY believe every post you read and the Young Turks…
The thing I don’t understand is that they said they were meeting someone. Did the manager ask if they intended to order anything once the third person showed up? Couldn’t they have waited until the third person showed and then asked if they were going to order something and if not then tell them to leave and call the cops if they don’t?
The problem is the Starbucks is SELECTIVELY booting loiterers, filtered by guessing at social class. Business can allow loitering, or disallow it, but NOT RACIST-SELECTIVELY. Knowing it's selective is what makes this arrest illegal, but legal from the limited view of the cop who doesn't know the selectivity OR the OTHER laws about laws.
In the USA I'm always allowed to wait for my friend who orders coffee; but my friend can't wait for me to order the coffee because they assume he can't pay and make him pay in advance — so when I arrive I either see him with cold coffee for me, or in handcuffs if he forgot his money and didn't !!RUN!! out quick enough when shouted at.
Then the 3rd guy they were waiting for came in and ordered coffee for 3, and … wondering why his business associates were not there???
I just wonder the arrogance If a cop asks me to leave, I'll is in my pants and leave.
In Britain the police was deporting a Somali gang rapist who had been 9 years in prison. The entire planefull of passengers interfered and the deportation could not be performed. All they saw as a black man being deported.
I really hate the Young Turks on how they misrepresent the facts in order to push a narrative. They typically present the initial situation and then the result: arrest or shooting and claim that one happened directly as a result of the other. I used to be their fan but about the time of Michal Brown shooting I finally switched sides.
Sure one can have different political opinions but at least one should agree on the facts. If you need to distort facts to mach your views, the are they so good?
Pretty sure I heard her whisper to the operator "their black gentlemen, and they are armed with black"
Mike, I love your logic and sense of humor. I love the quote, “Starbucks isn’t a community center.†The media is WAY too one sided and it really helps to get an officers point of view. We need major news outlets to be more about showing each view point instead of just trying to get reactions
Cant get a word in edgewise. LOL
Love the entire video but the epic explanation starts at 24:00.
Has anyone subpoenaed your videos to argue that you have a racial bias as a defense?
100% on target with the Young Turks. I tend to avoid their content because it's exasperating watching it.
Your front yard is not a Place of Public Accommodation within the meaning of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, that's the difference.
Re: this being due to racism. When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I can't find the Vegas – Man On The Street video anywhere. Was it taken down because of the audio troubles Mike referenced near the beginning of this stream or was it flagged and removed?
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute? "Black" rifle coffee! Insinuating racism and implicit violence against said group. Boycott! Rename it to something like "we love and value everyone hot brewed beverage company".
Do you think this may have been a planned incident to capitalize on a cultured racial incident. Whether that be financial or for the "street cred" aspect?
Thanks for explaining this Starbucks thing. I was under the impression it was late at night and the female manager called the police because she was concerned about getting robbed. But, the actual reality of the situation way less dramatic than that.
Love ypur show keep it up.
What are they gonna do when white people stop caring?
These people need to understand the pendulum swings both ways. And the farther you push, the harder it swings back.
The freedom that allows people to act this way is going to be taken away, and that'll effect all of us. And the backlash could be devastating.
They want free wifi. Turn off the wifi and the problems will leave.
