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.

    It’s less anti cop, more extreme disagreement with how our policing system currently works. The lack of training, the insanely wide degree of responsibilities, the lack of accountability, etc… They effectively function as a state sanctioned gang.

    Yes, if I end up in a dangerous situation and need a person with a gun to help, I will begrudgingly call the police (and pray they don’t shoot my dog) because that’s the option we have. That doesn’t mean I don’t completely disagree with and want to change that system.
