On topic, if I was a self made, successful black stock broker who was being seriously harrassed about not buying shit coffee while I I wait for my friend I would be pissed as well.
He's probably waited in a million Starbucks for business acquaintances/friends to show up and not been bothered. Starbucks is that type of place tbh. Then you see other patrons (who are all white) get to use the bathroom and just lounge for an hour without buying anything and aren't even questioned. The fact is that being the only black patrons at this Starbucks put a spotlight on them. Being successful black men who probably have had to put up with alot of shit to get where they are, and knew they were doing nothing wrong, made them angry in this situation. As they should have been. This whole "they should have just complied" nonsense or the "it was a group of black people making a scene" assumptions are the major problem here. You guys on the right rant all day about identity politics but then you outright refuse to call this an injustice simply because the two men are black. Hell, @The_Admiral took the side of the police without even reading the article. Which is evident by his assumption that it was a "group of people". All this Us vs Them nonsense is gonna kill us if we can't at least come together and shame an obvious miscarriage of justice when it happens. --- Getting girls is all about honesty.

Mostly because I think self-preservation trumps dogma for most people.

If what "lauren" said was true, that those black guys weren't warned prior to the manager calling the cops, then those black dudes have a huge lawsuit pending against starbucks.
