Discrimination is apparently ok based on what you wear. The so called “tolerant” are so intolerant. Hypocrisy at its finest.

[sullivanbiddle]

The police and fire department should refuse to answer any emergency calls from this business.

You would think with all the businesses being broken into and issues with homelessness in front of stores they would want to build a relationship with the police and have a nice presence and a business card of a few officers and the ability to call someone direct and get help. I guess the owners don’t see it that way!

If I was a business owner I'll be more worried about someone being armed and not in uniform.

[drm]

If I had a business, I'd welcome anybody who is legally armed. I most likely would be.

I hope the restaurant doesn't call the police when they need help !

"No cops allowed. Burglars and robbers very welcomed."

[richfarfugnuven]

I have no problems with this. I would also 100% support the cops if an armed gunman walked into the store, and police said sorry, we aren't allowed in there. You can't have it both ways. If you dont want cops in your store, don't expect them to show up when you need them...

It's the DA the bakery shouldn't serve not the cops. The issue is the DA isn't prosecuting the criminals.

[geoffreyfowler]

So the restaurant is cool with folks who are armed but don’t wear uniforms?

[MrGaryg]

Sounds like they are open to get robbed, and I hope they have a firearm to fight back with!

[oscarsmith]

That’s why you don’t work as a police officer, especially, in SF. LET THE CITIZENS OF SF PROTECT THEIR OWN PROPERTY AND LIFE.

If your bakery is robbed, SFPD can't find the time to deal with you. If your bakery calls SFPD a name, they spend days whining about it on television.

[yummm]

Just don't call the police if you guys get robbed or a homeless person gets violent inside your restaurant.

I wish every business who did not want to serve LEO's would simply put a sign up. We would gladly take our business somewhere else....our families, many of our friends would do the same.

[nicholastorres]

Shame on that business! When SF is riddled with crime and break ins, good luck if the police doesn’t help your business out when you get broken into.

[jayishsupremacy]

Arm robbery is open at the shop/ cafe / whatever the f that is. That business will meet their own demise that the created.

[everything-is-everything]

If they don't want to serve you don't go. Who knows what they will do to your food. To me it sounds like they are saying be safe we don't trust our employees and we don't want to be blamed if they do something. I would say thank you and not go back. I wouldn't go in a restaurant if I knew at least one person didn't like me. If they wanted to be served to get the food tested to arrest people that is the only reason, I can understand this.

[LFMotorhead]

This is why I laugh at all the crime in SF! You don’t want police than live with the crime!

[jackstraw]

Just go in and destroy the place, who are they going to call, the police?
