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.

    In my opinion the biggest problem w the police isn’t the officers it’s the training and culture.

    The biggest problem is the culture and a lack of accountability is part of the culture.

    They have their hands tied w ridiculous use of force policies

    You know why?

      After the amadou diallo shooting the NYPD knee jerk response was to increase the trigger pull pressure of their pistols so it would be harder to pull the trigger. So instead of better training and use of force tactics they just made it harder to shoot. And that in turn makes it easier to miss and hit bystanders. A perfect example of the terrible policy to breeds bad cops.

        Ridiculous use of force policies serve the purpose of reducing departmental liability without spending money.
