Under current law, why should the cop have to compromise simply because he's a cop? if I don't want some black dude sitting in my shop , and I offer him a to go cup to get out, I'd get sued. Why is a black man afforded MORE protection in this nation than say a cop?
Is that EQUALITY?
Um, ConHog? Dearie? Did you not see my simplified post of my own opinion to Willow? Or my full explanation before that when poor Willow didn't understand it?
To put it simply, you can refuse service to anyone, black or white, cop or Starbucks employee, so long as you can prove they would be disruptive to your business. I.E., cause a scene or a ruckus in your establishment.
I don't care what you are, if for some reason (carry a gun into my establishment, get into a fight with the customers, etc) you make a shop owner feel like your about to disrupt his/her business, he can compromise like the to-go coffee I suggested, or he can refuse service. Whatever the shop owner decides to do, well that's their personal choice to make.
