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.

“will not serve anyone armed and in uniform”

Should this be an "or" statement? Showing up naked with a gun would pass this logic.

In SF, open carrying by non-law-enforcement is illegal anyway.

Let's be honest, this is absolutely directed at police. Sure, it bans all people with guns but 99% of the people coming in there with them will be the police.

That said, they are free to do that. I think it is a little shitty but that's up to them.

As a non-American trying to understand, why do you feel this policy is a little shitty?
