http://nypost.com/2017/08/06/the-police-boycott-of-dunkin-donuts-is-fully-on/

The NYPD runs on . . . bodega coffee.

The police boycott of Dunkin’ Donuts is apparently heating up, as a sergeant was spotted Sunday walking into the 73rd Precinct station house with trays full of what appeared to be generic, corner-market brew.

“No D&D in the 7-3,” he proudly announced.

The brew-haha began last Sunday when a worker at a Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin-Robbins at 1993 Atlantic Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant refused to scoop ice cream for two 73rd Precinct detectives — allegedly because they were cops.

Police union heads called for a boycott of the national chain, and the movement has since percolated throughout the department.

Asked for directions to a Dunkin’ Donuts on Sunday, a cop patrolling Union Square said, “I’m not allowed to do that.”

A manager at the Brooklyn franchise apologized, but parent company Dunkin’ Brands claimed the store’s confusing layout led the cops to order at a closed register — an explanation that police unions have called “an insult.”

Oh now that's rich coming from cops who love to throw around insulting explanations for wrong doings.

How does a store even have a confusing layout? If a register is closed, there usually is a message or sign on it stating so.

But on the other hand, supposing Dunkin Donuts' policy really is to never serve police, wouldn't a boycott just give them what they want?

That Dunkin donuts and all of them across the country need to be shut down immediately, no need for blatant bigotry in this country. Damn shame a company decides who they will and won't serve.

"Free" Donuts and Coffee and maybe the Dunkin's will get a bit more cop presence to ward off criminals. it's a dance that's been around as long as cops have existed, stores that give them freebies or discounted prices and special treatment are better protected against the criminals than stores that don't. Especially in big city areas.

If the police don't like it they can simply change occupation. Or maybe not wear their uniform to buy donuts. Or if we believe Dunkin Donut's explanation, they should just go to a register that's open.

It wasn't confusing, they just didn't want to make the cops feel worse about standing in the wrong place. Also the police union support Trump joking about police brutality but they complain about this.

Especially in big city areas.

The origin itself goes back to the fact that besides a few select diners there weren't many other places open overnight or early morning so donut places started letting cops stay there to buy stuff and file paperwork. That said, nowadays most donut places are closed by 11 pm. Still open really early though

Even if their version of the story is correct, the NYPD really shouldn't be attacking a whole company for the actions of one employee.

They could of just shot him, said he was being aggressive and been back to work after some paid leave.

That seems to be the go to plan these days. Plus the department could take all the donuts as "evidence".

Cops get so afraid that in broad daylight they see a little kid and shoot him on the spot.

Honestly they need safe spaces. Like maybe... A prison cell.

Oh man im so triggered.

Just trying to figure out why it's awful to deny some people service and then it's funny and who cares when other people get denied service. Just trying to find the logic in that.

And of course all I get is triggered and butthurt as a response, but what else would I expect.
