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.

    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.

      You seem to be trying to convince me that the system is broken, I already agree with that. But you’re claiming to know exactly how everything plays out when a person tries to be a good cop. You claim to know exactly how that goes, every time. What makes you so confident, what information do you have? We’re you a cop?

      I’m saying there is still the possibility for a cop to join and want to do good. Hate cops all you want, but a few have done good things, a few have helped people. We need to go after bad cops, of course, and try to fix the broken system. But at the same time we can’t ignore the ones who actually do good, that behavior should be encouraged, not shat on.
