Obviously you don't know how many people were asked to leave that day/month/year and their skin color. You're inventing your own contrapositive that you want to believe is true.
I'm sure lots of people have been asked to leave at lots of starbucks of all stripes. And then they did, so it didn't get to the trespassing/police part.
- mcphage 9y agoYou think the police get called on lots of people sitting at Starbucks? Have you ever been to a Starbucks? Have you seen the police get called a lot?
- DrScump 9y agoI see it a few times a month, generally in response to belligerent homeless people being overtly confrontational and/or aggressively panhandling. At most one of the cases I've witnessed involved any African-American. We also have a few 911 responses (paramedics, Public Safety), generally involving homeless as well. This is in suburban Sunnyvale.
- simonsarris 9y agoNo, but I think people do get asked to leave a lot, and then they do leave, so no police call is necessary. Do you understand that is what most people do when asked to leave? These people were asked to leave and stayed 20 minutes after that, until the police showed up, who also repeatedly asked them to leave, before finally removing them. https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/8cysu4/starbucks_will_close_8000_us_stores_may_29_for/dxixmyn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/8cysu4/starbucks_will...
- mcphage 9y agoSo you do understand why they were particularly chosen to be asked to leave! You just don’t care.
