What a great idea. City going to hell with crime and the best idea from people is to start miss treating police. Also, forcing them to leave their guns* “outside”, which in this case would be in the car wouldn’t just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
The Russians did indeed managed to destroy american society, hats off to them lol
Oh I don’t know, mainstream media, politicians constantly trashing the entire police force because of some officers actions, leading to the complete disrespect for the police and the law?
Also economic crisis due to Covid leading to poverty?
Why should the citizenry respect the cops, when they show utter contempt for the law? None of them willingly or unwillingly abide by section 1983 of the Federal Code.
Also, forcing them to leave their guns* “outside”, which in this case would be in the car wouldn’t just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
I'm sure what the shop owner wants it to mean is that they go eat their donuts elsewhere. Safety of their firearms is the responsibility of the cops, not the bakery owner in any case.
“Many members of our community have been impacted by gun violence, whether that be experience on the streets of San Francisco, having come from war or occupation, or having increased fears due to a growing climate of political extremism,” the bakery continued. “All too often, Black and brown people, and poor people are the victims of this violence. At Reem’s, we aim to provide a space where people can eat delicious Arab food and work together to strengthen our community, without fear of violence or harassment.”
They don’t want their customers to have to worry about guns. Their policy makes perfect sense to me.
Makes total sense, this policy will prevent criminals from bring firearms into the bakery too. They’ll see the sign and find somewhere else to rob at gunpoint
Man, it must be so awful to be so terrified of everything that you think the entire world is a constant threat you have to be armed and guarded against.
Also, forcing them to leave their guns* “outside”, which in this case would be in the car, wouldn’t just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
They carry more weapons than the ones on their person anyway. If their vehicle isn’t secure enough for their sidearm while they are on break then they aren’t secure enough for the rest of their arsenal.
We have had a surprising high number of bakery related controversies. I think I will continue to shop at my local supermarket bakery. I want a cake not to have to make a statement.
Read the Madness of crowds. He has a whole chapter on the number of people who were fined, imprisoned, murdered over how pointy shows can be and how much or how little facial hair a man can have.
You might be interested to know that cops, judges, politicians, and all other government officials don’t actually have Qualified Immunity according to the full text of section 1983 of the federal code. The SCOTUS wasn’t handed the full text in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald. The text was changed illegally in 1874 by one guy when he copied the 1871 Congressional Record into the Federal Register.

(Not OP) Thanks but that particular article is AI generated garbage (or just thesaurus generated plagiarism) - you can tell when they replace technical terms like ‘judgement’ or ‘decision’ with synonyms like ‘choice’
While the Cato Institute are some sort of libertarian think-tank, at least this is a real human-written article, and it links back to some better sources:
It’s not like they check for concealed carry though. I did security checks for a MLB team for a bit and I definitely waved through guns after they flashed a badge.
Can we stop posting articles from The Independent. Its literally owned my a Russian media mogul with ties to Boris Johnson and whose father worked in the KGB
If its legal for someone to hypothetically not create a wedding announcement website for gay people because she doesn’t want to serve those kinds of people, then there should be nothing wrong with not wanting to serve armed cops.
One is outright discrimination based on sexual orientation. The other is simply a policy applied to all patrons.
It should absolutely be legal to say ‘no shoes no service’ or ‘has gun no service’ even if it was not legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation/race/gender/etc. They aren’t at all the same thing.
unless you have a bouncer with a wand and proper pat down experience. the patrons will just conceal and not tell you. plenty of places say no guns. but a sign is nothing more than that.
Not in San Fran they wont. They let criminals run rampant but wont let anyone without Trump money get through the concealed carry permit process. Bruen should have fixed that but who knows if Cali will actually listen with Newsom putting that constitutional amendment to neuter the 2nd amendment out there.
SF has an extremely lot violent crime rate, so what exactly do folks need guns like that for? The “high crime rate” is property crime, like theft. Unless folks want to be out here shooting people for smash and grabs.
Based bakery. If the sporting goods store where they bought the piece makes people not carry and they respect that then they should respect other stores that ask people not to.
For some more context this place, reems, really isn’t a bakery so much as a middle eastern take out place. The main store is currently closed down though so the only place they have open is a counter serve food court style place in the ferry building, so the cops didn’t get kicked out of the place, they either went to the counter and the cashier refused to serve, or more likely, they saw the new policy online and threw a hissy fit without actually going.
The founder is a Palestinian leftist, so this probably was targeted towards cops/military.
I’d highly recommend going here if your on a tourist trip and end up in the ferry building, not just for the cop hate, but there wraps are great as well.
