Time for Boycotts?
Following the murder or two officers in Mississippi, certain scumbags of the community took to social media to express their joy at the deaths of the police. One such miserable excuse of protoplasm "tweeted" photographs of herself in her Subway uniform expressing support for the killers.
Subway took action after social media went nuts and the now-former-sandwich-maker joined the ranks of the unemployed. But this brings to mind a larger issue:
Subway took action after social media went nuts and the now-former-sandwich-maker joined the ranks of the unemployed. But this brings to mind a larger issue:
- Is it time for a police organization, like the FOP or PBPA or PBA, to start taking action against businesses that espouse hatred toward police? Some place where we can notify and register complaints about their employees performing actions or gestures or supporting anti-police actions while in the uniforms or performances of their jobs?
We've heard about coppers going into places and having staff hold up their hands in the now-discredited and provably false "hand-up"gesture. Places like that don't deserve...well, we can't say "service" because we are obligated to respond to 9-1-1 calls, but they certainly don't deserve our patronage, or the patronage of our co-workers, families and supporters.
Had Subway not taken proper action against this creature, we'd have been pissed enough to never go back there again. We already don't purchase any number of products due to anti-police sentiment of the owners, operators, franchisees, etc. We've seen a list circulated occasionally of anti-police companies put together over the years to assist in economic efforts. It would certainly seem about time to consolidate and update these efforts on a national scale via the National Lodges of police organizations.

An employee at the car wash at 87th and Langley approached my squad in the hands up don't shoot gesture. i backed out of line and went somewhere else. I never went back.
You want Officers from all over the Nation to come together, yet two cops will argue about where to go for dinner.
The worker is obviously a POS.
As for the company Subway, they probably don't own that store. But they told the owner it would be a good idea to ditch the bitch. Which to his credit he did. Or he may have done it on his own. Guess she will now not get into the Harvard MBA program.
But now she will probably never work again. She will be so traumatized that she will spend the rest of her life on SSI disability to something.
Why stop at businesses? Statements from Obama. Holder and DeBlasio got the two NYPD officers assassinated. Now Hillary starts her bullshit.
Better ask all the "leadership" at FOP what do you pay dues for?????
FOP and all other police-related unions and associations should be pooling their money together (instead of going out spending it on themselves) and creating an ad campaign that is Pro-Police.
If I was in charge of FOP - I would be on TV all the time giving the police perspective.
AND- if the local TV channels would not give me any "air time", I would "suggest" my union brethren be extra focused on any infractions being done by TV vehicles as well as their reporters in their social drinking habits. Can't have drunks driving on our streets.
Come on - this isn't rocket science.
It's the difference between leaders - who do what's right and take action , and those who "stay in line and keep quiet" in the cloutocracy to wait and "get theirs" when the big Boss says so.
As a non-LEO citizen, I would love to see a list or publicly-editable online registry of events or stores like this.
You men and women do so much for us, and this is just one more way we can and would show our support for you.
Be careful eating st any inner city fast food operation. They will and have spit in our food.
Use extreme caution at these rat holes. Virus' lurk from these outlets.
Just try to imagine how many "shit sandwiches "you have eaten during time in law enforcement . The subway worker's just the tip of the iceberg .
Enough to make a guy start packing a lunch .
Circulate the Anti Police establishmants, and I am sure the Good folk will stand by your side in boycotting the scumbags!
You all stay safe out there, don't take no shit... God Bless & watch over ya all
Please post this list of companies.
A lot of civilians will boycott places that are anti-police.
I love the irony of the communities that despise us the most call the police the most than other communities.
I will not spend my money at any place that is anti-police, anti-American or racially biased in any way.
But I just wonder about who would win when it come to places like Subway. The local cops who come in with cash or all of Al Sharptons people who have EBT cards.
(EBT Card = Electronic Benefits Transfer, a taxpayer supported form of welfare that can be spent at restaurants)
If your automobile is insured by Progressive, you might like to reconsider your insurance carrier.
The company name is indicative of its main owner's politics. Hardcore leftist that is. Hate America first of the Soros variety.
I boycott everyone while I'm at work except the local Dunkin for black coffee, which I watch them pour. I don't go to work to spend money.
Bring a bag of food from home.
1.) Don't have to deal with "food servers".
2.) Less chance of getting involved in some shit in a restaurant.
3.) Cheaper.
So much for black lives matter....guess that only applies to black thugs.
This old retired cop has not had Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream for twenty years.
There's your $15.00 dollars per hour.
I have a taste for their breakfast sandwich right now. Add the guacamole.
There was a sandwich place, Quiznos or something, in the Riverview Mall next to A3 that would not let PO's use the washroom, even if they had just ordered a meal, I walked out, they can shove their crummy sandwich.
I've never seen a list of place not to eat or take my family.
I for one, would very much like to see a published list.
I would like to not help out am organization that would love to see me die.
I want that list. Get it to me, or post the names of companies you know that are disrespectful to Police Officers and I will forward to everyone I know. I have gone off Facebook for awhile but will gladly go back on to promote this. This scum employee of Subway will probably now get unemployment. Let's get the names of companies and people who slam cops and show them that the vast majority of Americans are sick of the Michael Brown's and stand with the fine officers of this country. Get us the list.
Or purge day! A day where every police officer takes off. Fuck make it a weekend event. Zero police nation wide Friday at noon till Monday at 8am. Let the cameras roll and see what people think about the police after that fun weekend.
Post the list. They'll never get another dime from me.
I understand your sentiment. However, boycotts don't don't work because they assume the entire corp. is corrupt. Sure she was wearing a subway uniform. Letters and e-mails do work and the company did the responsible thing. How many kids work there and see this as a needed paycheck? You work hard, wear a uniform and represent it well. It builds character.
Just A Citizen Says: God bless all of you out there who have to deal with these anti-american, jesse jackson/al sharpton-loving, hands-up-don't shoot, "i'm-a gonna call me the po-lice", uneducated, bitter and resentful lazy ass leeches that inhabit most of this city. This place is already beginning to look like hell on earth, so I shudder to think what it would look like without all of you. I've only been back in town for less than 48 hours after being gone for 4 months and I notice a huge difference and not for the better. Prayers for all of you.
the staff of the ice cream place on Devon, just east of Central that has hand painted murals depicting liberal causes, including jabs directed at cops in general. I walked out when I saw the word Ferguson painted in the same area as other places known for government abuse
Yes, the stupid woman was rightfully fired by Subway as she brought discredit to their organization. However I won't go so far as to say a Nationwide "boycott" of Subway is warranted. Keep in mind I think their sandwiches are sub-par at best and not worth the money.
All that aside she was some moron line worker that expressed her personal opinion, she is not a spokesperson for the company or even the store which formerly employed her. She is just another mope with a love for social media and bullshit and too lazy to change out of her pathetic work uniform
By all means if you are met with disrespect at any establishment, walk the fuck out and eat elsewhere. But if you are talking about a national chain with tens of thousands of stores and you judge them based on one employee, you are no better than the asshole rioter/protesters.
Publish a list of establishments that law enforcement, and families should not spend their money in.
SCC…this sums it up very succinctly. Makes great sense, easy read, spot on. I stood down about 6 months ago and will continue to do so until I leave this once great profession that is now a laughing stock among the masses. What a shame of a whorl we live in when good is evil and evil is good. Read on

Ben & Jerrys ice cream and Paul Newman products. Both companies are supporters of Mumia Abu Jamal who executed Philadelpia PO Danny Faulkner in 1981.
I stopped going to Subway and Taco Bell long ago due to unsanitary conditions and poor food handling.
This sort of thing is, in general, ridiculous.
Government By Zuckerberg -- without even waking him up.

Bullshit.
Illegal to buy prepared food like that.
You actually see it happening, you're all wild-eyed, you look up the State of Illinois fraud number and give them a call. I'm too tired.
My dad was on the job for almost 30 years, he passed away last month. I need that list. I will shout it from the heavens.
I treat Citizens that Respect me like family, Shit heads get no Service from me.
Subway, like many other franchises, very few are corporate owned, however the stores have to conform to corporate standards and conduct. The owner/franchisee did the appropriate thing, the Gov'mint will continue to support the rodent.
Believe it or not, many employees of corporate companies don't like the police. From Subway, Dunkin Donuts, the CTA and checkout clerk at WalMart. Narrow minded twits are taught to hate police and whitie. They grow up to be spokespeople for the struggle and oppression of all people or folks.
The case of Ben & Jerry, sold out to the man for $$, they have some controlling interest, but they're part of a conglomeration now. Their view are the same but their message was stifled. Now we have a sitting President with the same ideology.
Some people hate us and some don't. There will always be people that will never get my service or protection, even more so these days.
Yeah you're gong to bankrupt a global conglomerate by not buying their products. You can't even get your membership to send in a postage provided ballot for Union elections
As soon as I heard that the killer of the Phillie Cop years back was getting financial support from certain businesses and actors I vowed never to buy or support them: Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream, Paul Newman products, Susan Sarandon movies, and many NBA stars too many to list. Also I doubt that many coppers would boycott businesses that discount prices, the mighty buck will always prevent coppers from uniting. All the years on was on the job, I never ate anywhere that I didn't feel comfortable.
She'll probably sue and win for violating her right to freedom of speech. Maybe she'll get enough money to run for mayor of Baltimore.
Boycott the cop hating tribune. Don't talk to reporters.
Boycott.

If I chose to boycott a business, it would not be because I assumed everyone there was wrong. It would be because the business fosters, or condones (or both) a mindset or ethos which I find intolerable.
I'd be sure to let the business know exactly why I was encouraging others to boycott them and what actions would be required to bring my business back through their door.
In this situation, Subway was clear they do not condone their employee's behavior, they took action and they made it very public, for the benefit of their employees and their consumers. So, I remain an occasional customer. If they didn't, I wouldn't.
Been packing lunch, or buying from preparedness in super markets for years. Think about this even the White House don't trust scumbag and thugs! Their food is bought from various supermarkets and no one is told its for the White House! Especially in this media political driven anti-police environment pack your own, subway anyway has garbage food full of salt and preservatives!
Notice how the media has been silent as to Jesse Junior serving out his halfway house sentence. And how 'bout Sandy who is soon to go to prison?
Refuse to go to ben and jerrys. Told my kid why, and felt proud to do it. Kid understood, agreed. I did the right thing.
No one has mentioned Ben&Jerries ice cream they give money for the defense of shitheads who kill Police Officers.
Had to defend an officer in a departmental "hearing" after a major hotel chain employee asked our officer , who was eating a meal, " Shoot any unarmed black males lately?"...our officer is black. Hw responded and complained to management, who then complained that our officer was a "distraction".
Bet if they were being robbed he wouldn't have been a distraction.
That's the environment we work in these days...
If I was in charge of FOP - I would be on TV all the time giving the police perspective.
$$$$$$$$$$$
Thank God your not in charge nor will you ever be. The media is not our friend. Dineen, Nolan, and Donahue just like Angelo sent out press releases. The media doesn't publish them. The want a live interview so they can ask got ya questions on Burge, Cozzi, Finnigan, Ferguson, Baltimore etc.
6:58 Lukes @ Harlem &Belmont did the same to me years ago. I motherf**ked them all and walked out!
Ben & Jerrys as well as Starbucks haven't had my business in YEARS!! Never will.
I won't boycott a store just because of a few shit-head EX-employees. But I will not go into any store where I or my friends are not welcome.
Post No Guns, And I will not feel safe. There are other safe choices.
Discourage Police or Service Members? They are my friends, if you offend my friends, you offend me also. I will support my friends, or at the least, people who do not dislike me and mine.
Do not speak English, only Spanish? Fine, Good Luck, and unless you have someone fluent in other languages I speak, like German or Finnish, I will go someplace that I can communicate with the staff.
As a retired officer of 30 years who stood up for both the men and women who worked for me, I feel sorry for our proud profession. Granted, there are some knuckleheads who shouldn't be working the job, but the vast majority perform the right thing with the best intentions. We now need to come together as a group and stay safe together as a group.
bring a lunch
I work in 018, and can you blame me for whats been going on in our country now a days? Many people have been approaching me and telling me thank you so much, please keep your chin up, we love you, and need you guys out here. Funny that I have never been told that when I work VRI. wonder why?

I don't care if Ben and Jerry's is the last Ice Cream on the planet. I will never set foot in the joint. I got into an argument with my in laws and wife on this one night. I won.
I have to start indoctrinating my 8 year old daughter on good vs. evil places. She needs to know because I can't count on my wife to do this.

Screw the FOP, they can't even return phone calls.. How do you expect them to rally for the police? It's a joke.
During all the Ferguson crap going on, I notified the head of a few major companies and got responses when certain individuals posted about how cops like the two in NY deserved to be "shot in their m-f faces." The morons posted their place of employment to which one of them was a line cook at Hooters. I reached out and got responses from corporate saying that it is unacceptable and appropriate actions would be taken. Start calling these vermin out.
"Just try to imagine how many "shit sandwiches "you have eaten during time in law enforcement . The subway worker's just the tip of the iceberg .
Enough to make a guy start packing a lunch"
Reminds me of the time I went to the McDonalds on 51st street across from Area One to get an arrestee a sandwich. He told me to make SURE I said I was ordering for a prisoner, not myself. Ordering with a smile, I said it was for me. (sad, but oddly humorous)
UPS employee was out of uniform he was wearing a black knit skull hat with white lettering: "I can't breath". I saw this male black 26 yoa making a delivery at 625 N. Michigan Ave back in April 2015.
Garrett's at 20 W. Randolph St Male Black employee early 20s yoa behind the counter when I walked into the store the employee was behind the counter looked at me then raise both of his lower arms up at shoulder high and smiled. I walked in and turned around and walked out!
Right on target,SCC. We should also pressure, on an individual basis, our FOP to get pro-active. What happened to Pat Camden?? i am going to the next FLOP meeting. We should also track Pro-police businesses & support them. Look at Jet Blue which helped w/ flights to attend the recent NYPD funeral (30,000 LEOs attended)
Prayers to all of you Officers. The brainless bimbos giving their support to thugs, but not to officers is sickening and despicable.
The problem lies with this Administration voted into office by the Majority. And even F'in twice????
However, tell me the place that disrespects Officers and won't spend a dime there.
I wouldn't eat anything from Ben and Jerry's if you paid me. My wife brought a Paul Newman dressing, which was immediately returned by me. Screw these assholes who want cop killers released early.
Boycotts don't work? What have you been smoking? They only work when everyone boycotts.
I think I just got an idea to start a Facebook page and have coppers send me names/experiences of businesses that mistreat officers
List of places to boycott:
1) All Starbucks Coffee stores in the Chicagoland area.
2) All Dunkin Donuts in the Chicagoland area.
Other chain companies that do this crap would be useful to know... I would spend my money elsewhere
Actually, the Police have no obligation to respond to any 911 call. The duty of the Police is to "The Public". US Sup Ct.
So sure, you got dispatched, but some jagoff wouldn't get out of the way even with lights, siren, and horn... it took a while to get there right?
I mean, what could possibly happen in 10 or 15 minutes?
I work in the 025th district I had the opportunity to go eat at Popeyes at 6622 w Fullerton near the brickyard. Well as we just finished an arrest my partner had a taste for Popeyes. As I walk into the store the cashier/manager Darius raises his arms up in the air and says to me hands up don't shoot! I was like what did you say? He said you know because you Chicago cops kill my people! I was like I'm leaving now. But because the guy I was working with didn't want to leave we stayed and ate. Long story.then Darius began to chuckle and laugh about it like it was funny. I was so pissed off I contemplated on what to do because it really pissed me off. So I wrote to their corporate headquarters. The next day I got a call from their head customer service rep and the district manager. He called and apologized for the guys actions and they terminated him the next day. He offered me a free meal and I declined. I told him I would let every cop know about this place. But he said that this is not what their company is about and told all the employees to leave their politics at the door. It gave me satisfaction to know they fireflies ass but I won't go there anymore.

I am going to boycott Budweiser until they give me a beer distributorship! Then I want to be The Official Beer of the FOP!
There are many people who are for the police but you know how we loose them? With bullshit traffic tickets. We stop and write old people and mother,s and a lot of decent people for minor stuff that we ourselves do every day. And then we also come on strong with them like they are criminals or something. They are not habitual traffic offenders we just want our ticket and its a easy one to write. we want people to be for us then we stick it up their butt the first chance we get.

I neglected to add..."but people should not go around publicly demonstrating their personal beliefs in the workplace, or while wearing company uniforms, etc."
This has happened a lot of times; it's amazing how fast F__ebook can get you fired -- rightly or sometimes wrongly. I do, however, encourage criminals to keep posting photographs/videos of their actions, posing with the bodies of their victims, etc. A lot of cases have been made off this stupidity.
Me, I live here in the real world, not online. Funny how people who object to "government surveillance" willingly put up more information about themselves in a public place than the "government" could possibly gather.
Hey SCC...
Is there any room on the blog's sidebar to post the list of anti-police establishments so those of us not in-the-know can become aware?

First, speak for yourself, because you're not talking about me or how I engage with people.
Second, since you're speaking for yourself, clean up your act and stop treating people badly.
If a boycott list is published,
I would also like to know where to go to reward right-thinking law-abiding family businesses when I turn away from leftist, liberal thug-loving shitholes.
HEY 12:48:00 AM,
349 west 31st street....J&J car wash.

Black thugs matter!!
Enough already, time to vote out the bleeding heart assholes and stop watching CNN..

This is the truest statement I have ever read on this blog. Thank God there is at least a few of us
FYI-Zeus gyros @ Jackson & Halsted is not police friendly. Ordered lunch today and one of the cooks made a few anti police comments.
Do not boycott bourbon street in merrionette park , they take good care of the police
THe starbucks on 35 STATE, yes right by headquarters. There's an employee in there named "willie", he does not like police (felon) and watch it when he makes your drink!!!!
"Inner city " spoken like a true suburbanite or mediaphile . I know it's an old post but that made me laugh thanks for making my day .
