Starbucks Bans Employees From Wearing Black Lives Matter Gear & Anything In Support Of Organization

Starbucks shocked the public and their liberal fans with the ban heard around the world. The left and some employees are furious but it seems the company will hold fast.

A leaked memo sent to Starbucks employees last week banned employees from wearing anything in support of Black Lives Matter.

They say wearing such accessories “advocate a political, religious or personal issue” and are a violation of the company’s policies.

The Hill reported that an internal memo sent to Starbucks employees last week specifically warned staffers against wearing accessories or clothes bearing messages in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

BuzzFeed News obtained the memo, in which the staffers were reminded that such messages are prohibited under the company’s policy against accessories that “advocated a political, religious or personal issue.”

Numerous employees told the news outlet, however, that the company regularly allows or even encourages employees to wear pins in support of LGBTQ equality, especially during Pride Month every June.

“Starbucks LGBTQ+ partners wear LGBTQ+ pins and shirts, that also could incite and create violent experiences amongst partners and customers,” one black transgender employee of the coffee chain told BuzzFeed. “We have partners who experienced harassment and transphobia/homophobia for wearing their pins and shirts, and Starbucks still stands behind them.”

A video from a top company executive reportedly sent with the memo warned employees that “agitators who misconstrue the fundamental principles” of the movement could seek to “amplify divisiveness” if the messages are displayed in stores.

“We know your intent is genuine and understand how personal this is for so many of us. This is important and we hear you,” the memo read.

A company spokesperson confirmed the memo’s authenticity to BuzzFeed and said that such messages are prohibited “to create a safe and welcoming” environment at Starbucks locations.

“We respect all of our partners’ opinions and beliefs, and encourage them to bring their whole selves to work while adhering to our dress code policy,” the spokesperson said.

Activist Has Had Enough With Dems & BLM: Agenda “Has Not a Damn Thing To Do With Saving Black Lives”

Niger Innis, the spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, blasted the Black Lives Matter movement for what he sees as “hard truths” about the group’s agenda.

“They take their instructions, their guidance from the Marxist playbook,” Innis, who is black, said to Laura Ingraham about the Black Lives Matter movement this week. “Look, I’m going to tell some hard truths that people aren’t going to want to hear.”

“The BLM movement, Black Lives Matter movement, was founded by Alicia Garza and a number of other co-founders that were promoting a hard Marxist and LGBT agenda,” Innis continued.

“Look, I don’t have a problem with people exercising their First Amendment rights. You have the right to organize, you have the right to protest, you have the right to come up with an agenda. But I’ll be goddamned if you use the suffer[ing] and misery of black Americans and our legacy to the United States of America as your shield and use us as cannon fodder when your agenda really has not a damn thing to do with saving black lives.”

Innis acknowledged that many of the protesters enraged by the death of George Floyd are innocent and mean well but are “misguided.”

Niger Innis, son of the late Roy Innis, a black American activist and politician, criticized the Black Lives Matter push to defund the police and argued that the group has its sights set on eliminating Western values as a whole.

“If you look at their agenda, defunding the police, that would put black lives in danger,” Innis warned. “But it’s even more than that, Laura. They have, as a part of their platform, on their own website that we want to disrupt — disrupt! — the Western-prescribed nuclear family.”

“They want to overthrow capitalism. They want to overthrow Western civilization, and they see America as the biggest clear and present danger to fulfilling that agenda, and they are using black people to do it.”

Innis cited the murder of 77-year-old retired police Capt. David Dorn, a black man who was allegedly murdered by a black looter in St. Louis while attempting to stop the robbery of a pawnshop, which is owned by a friend of his. Innis referred to the killers as “savages committing acts of destruction,” as the Washington Examiner reported.

“It is so gross, and for all of these corporations … that give a dollar or millions of dollars to the BLM agenda, they are destroying black lives. You want to talk about anti-black supremacy, that’s the anti-black supremacy that’s taking place,” he said before concluding with the point that “the irony … is that it’s the illusion of black supremacy and the reality of a Marxist agenda that will bury all of us.”

Al Sharpton Demands NFL To Hire Kaepernick, Forgets About John Elway’s Deposition: “We Offered Him a Contract”

“It’s nice to see some people change their minds,” Al Sharpton said yesterday. “The head of the NFL said, ‘Yeah, maybe we was wrong. Football players — maybe they did have the right to peacefully protest.’ Well don’t apologize, give Colin Kaepernick a job back.”

“Don’t come with some empty apology, take a man’s livelihood,” Sharpton continued. “Strip a man down of his talents and four years later when the whole world is marching, all of the sudden you go and do a FaceTime talking about you sorry. Minimizing the value of our lives.”

“You sorry, then repay the damage you did to the career you stood down. Because when Colin took a knee, he took it for the families in this building. And we don’t want an apology. We want him repaired.”

Truth is, there were a lot of NFL teams that could’ve used a quarterback over the last few years – a few former first-rounders revived their careers last season by taking backup roles and outplaying the other guy for the top spot. If he wants to compete for a spot at this point some team will do it just for the money.

Who knows what’s going on behind the scenes but we can be always reminded of this John Elway quote: “Colin had his chance here. We offered him a contract. He didn’t take it,” Elway said. “So, as I said it in my deposition, I don’t know if I’ll be legally able to say this, but he’s had his chance to be here. He passed on it.”

Al Sharpton also took some swipes at President Trump during his performance.

“When they have the highest level of government that excuses it. When some kids wrongly start violence that this family don’t condone and none of us do, the president talks about bringing in the military. But he has not said one word of 8 minutes and 46 seconds of police murder against George Floyd.”

Al went on to trash the President saying that Trump used St. John’s Church as a “prop” for his photo-op.

“You take rubber bullets and tear gas to clear out peaceful protesters and then take a Bible and walk in front of a church and use a church as a prop. Wickedness in high places.”

Cops Nab “Protester” Who Threatened To Burn NYC’s Diamond District On Live Fox News Interview

A “protester” who calls himself Ace Burns was arrested just few hours after threatening to burn down the Jewish-run Diamond District in New York City on Saturday.

The masked man made the threats during a live TV interview while bragging about his tattoo, which read “FTP.”

“I’m a leader of this FTP movement,” Ace Burns boasted to Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich. “It could mean a lot of things. It could mean Free the People. Or it could also mean Fire to Property. And that’s very possible.”

The thug continued: “Today I’m leading a demonstration from Barclays Center at 6 p.m. to City Hall. That’s the first stop. We’re hoping [Mayor] de Blasio and [Governor Andrew] Cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction. But if they don’t, the next stop is the Diamond District. And gasoline — thanks to Trump — is awfully cheap. So we’re giving them a chance right now to do the right thing.”

We need to keep in mind that the mainstream media have insisted that the nationwide demonstrations for George Floyd were all “peaceful protests,” even as multiple Democrat-run cities burned heavely.

Because the unfortunate thug was dumb enough to provide his exact location and the time he’d there, the New York Police Department had no trouble finding and arresting him.

An NYPD Twitter account stated: “Earlier tonight, a man wearing this mask threatened, in a live Fox News interview, to burn Manhattan’s Diamond District down. Within hours, we identified the man and took him in to be interviewed.”

Fox News weekend anchor Eric Shawn was stunned by the on-air arson threat spewed by “Ace Burns.”

“Those are outrageous words to say,” Shawn said. “Basically, that person was suggesting that they plan to [torch] the Diamond District, which is run by orthodox Jews here in New York City.”

“We condemn that type of language here on the Fox News channel,” Shawn said. “Someone saying that certainly should be called out.”

DHS Sec Claims The Feds Are Already Going After “Leaders Of Antifa & Other Organizations”

Acting chief of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, claims that government investigators are already investigating members of Antifa and other groups who are taking part in the violent riots sweeping the country.

“I think, overall, what we have seen as far as taking place, sort of boots on the ground in these metropolitan areas, are the groups like Antifa or anarchists in general,” Wolf told Fox host Bret Baier.

“And those are the types of people that we see. That’s the intel that we’re getting back, primarily moving these violent protests and these organizations in a certain way. It usually occurs after nightfall. So, during the day, we usually see the nonviolent protests occurring,” Wolf said. “And then, when it gets to the night, we see the more violent protests starting to happen, criminals starting to take place, organized, loosely organized during the day to achieve a specific goal.”

“I think what we’re seeing right now, it’s loosely organized within a metropolitan city. Is it being organized across the country in an organized way? I don’t think that we see that yet. But, again, we’re continuing to analyze the intelligence and really getting the feedback from the state and local law enforcement officials in these individual cities.”

“So, we will continue to look at – we are partnering. We have a number of investigators at the department that are working with DOJ and working with FBI. We know that they have opened up a number of cases specifically targeting some of the leaders of Antifa and other organizations that are involved,” he said.

The Gateway Pundit reported that AG Barr also says the destruction in U.S. cities is being caused by far-left radical groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

“We have evidence that Antifa and other similar extremist groups as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions have been involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity. We are also seeing foreign actors playing all sides to exacerbate the violence,” Barr said.

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas also released their investigative report on the domestic terrorist group Antifa on Thursday. Project Veritas’s latest undercover report reveals how Antifa practice eye-gouging, beating their opponents and create an environment of fear and terror.

Looters Kill Retired St. Louis Police Captain At City Pawn Shop Then Rob Store

Authorities say that looters shot and killed a retired St. Louis police captain early Tuesday. David Dorn, 77, was shot with a gun in his torso late last night as he tried to help guard a pawn shop from looters.

The retired St. Louis police captain died on a sidewalk in front of the looted shop, Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

The Ethical Society of Police, a St. Louis black officers fraternal organization, mourned Dorn: “the type of brother that would’ve given his life to save them if he had to.”

“Violence is not the answer, whether it’s a citizen or officer. RIP Captain!” the tweet said.

St. Louis officials said Tuesday Dorn was killed responding to a burglar alarm that looters set off.

“David Dorn was exercising law enforcement training that he learned here,” St Louis Police Chief John Hayden said.

FOX2 reported that the shooting happened outside the Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry shop on Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. near Sarah Avenue just before 2:30 a.m. Authorities tell Fox 2 that in addition to the murder the store was also looted.

“One of the people murdered last night was a retired St. Louis City Captain,” the ESOP tweeted Tuesday morning. “He was murdered by looters at a pawnshop. He was the type of brother that would’ve given his life to save them if he had to. Violence is not the answer, whether it’s a citizen or officer. RIP Captain!”

Police have not officially identified the retired police captain. The investigation is ongoing.

Florida Sheriff Encourages Gun-Loving Home Owners To “Blow” Looters Right “Back Out Of The House”

On Monday, a sheriff from Florida warned would-be looters and home intruders by encouraging residents to fire upon anyone attempting to pillage their homes, following heated protests in the Lakeland area.

“The people in Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press briefing, as Fox 13 reported.

“And if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns,” Judd said.

Lakeland, Florida, saw hundreds of demonstrators spill into a local park Sunday protesting the death of George Floyd. The protest began peacefully but turned violent in a clash with local law enforcement, WFLA reported.

Neighboring Hillsborough County also experienced violence over the weekend as looters allegedly ransacked a Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant and a Champs Sports store. Photos from Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister also appear to show vandalized police vehicles.

“For the first time in 29 years, I had to do an all-call and call every available unit from the entire 1,110-square-mile county to rush to the university area to restore some order to such a chaotic scene,” Chronister told Tampa Bay 10.

Polk County issued an 8 p.m. curfew that takes effect Monday and Hillsborough County has instituted a 9 p.m. curfew in an attempt to prevent further violence, as the BPR reported.

Black Pastor Claims Trump Is The Most “Pro-Black” President He’s Seen In His Lifetime

On Thursday, Pastor Darrell Scott praised President Trump’s relationship with the black community during a round-table event, dubbing him the most pro-black president he has seen in his lifetime.

“I’ve lived under 12 presidential administrations,” Scott said. “I was born during Eisenhower’s administration. This president has been the most pro-black president in my lifetime. When I say ‘pro,’ I’m saying ‘pro’ as in proactive.”

“He’s been proactive rather than reactive to issues concerning minorities, underserved, and disadvantaged communities than any other president in my lifetime,” he said.

Pasot Scott joined President Trump on a trip to Ypsilanti, Michigan, to discuss the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on minority communities during a tour of a Ford manufacturing plant that makes ventilators.

Scott served as a member of Trump’s presidential transition team and helped launch the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, which aims to mobilize minority voters to support Trump and provide them a voice in his campaign.

Scott discredited media coverage of Trump during the discussion and said he believes the president will have a strong legacy ahead of him.

“I really believe history is going to be kinder to you, Mr. President, than fake news media is today,” he said.

Sheriff Tells Gov. Newsom To Kick Rocks: I’m Too Busy Re-Arresting Criminals That You Set Free To Enforce Lock-Down

The sheriff of Fresno County, California, stated that she’s unable to enforce the state’s stay-at-home order because she is too busy re-arresting accused criminals who were released due to the state’s new “zero-dollar bail” policy.

“I’ve heard multiple sheriffs around the nation state they will not enforce their governors’ shelter-in-place orders,” Sheriff Margaret Mims was asked in an interview on the Trevor Carey Show, as Breitbart News reported. “Is that your position?”

“That is my position,” Mims responded. “We do not stop the public to find out what they’re doing when they’re not sheltering in place. We don’t ask those questions. We don’t ask if they’re ‘essential.’ We’ve got our hands full trying to rearrest people that are released due to zero-dollar bail. So we’ve got other things that are on our mind that are more important than stopping normally law-abiding citizens.”

In 2018, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 10 into law, which made California the first state to abolish cash bail for pretrial incarcerations.

It was estimated that 7,000 bail bond industry jobs and 3,200 small businesses would be lost when the bill went into effect, as Sacramento Bee reported.

On top of the prisoners being released on bail, the state of California has been releasing inmates from jail, including “high risk” sex offenders, in a move it says is aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus.

Sheriff Margaret Mims joins other sheriffs across the U.S. who have said they will not enforce stay-at-home orders issued by state governments.

“It’s time to get back opening up our businesses and letting our people do what our normal business activities are,” Riverside County, California, Sheriff Chad Bianco said earlier this month. “And, you know, you just can’t arrest somebody for going out and exercising in public or not wearing a mask. You know, at the same time, they are trying to force me to release real criminals from jail. They want me to make criminals out of law-abiding citizens that are, you know, trying to support a family. It doesn’t make sense anymore.”

Culpeper County, Virginia, Sheriff Scott Jenkins echoed that sentiment, citing the Constitution as his reason for refusing to enforce Gov. Ralph Northam’s stay-at-home order.

Sheriff Brian BeGole, who represents Shiawassee County, Michigan, pushed back against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whose lockdown measures have sparked several protests, and said he won’t enforce her stay-at-home order.

“Leave Mummy Alone” – Disturbing Video Of Mother Arrested While Her Screaming Child Is Ripped From Her Arms By Sydney Police For Violating Lockdown

On Saturday, a mother was arrested in-front of her child near Parliament of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia for peacefully protesting the Coronavirus lockdown order.

The woman, who brought her young son with her to protest, wore a yellow sign that read: “If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any. Magna Carta.”

The protester told the police that the woman was not doing anything wrong by peacefully standing outside, however they harassed her and repeatedly asked for her name.

She refused to give her name to the police officers and that’s when the police turned into aggressive Gestapo thugs.

The police ripped the woman’s young son out of her arms as they arrested her, as the Gateway Pundit reported.

The young boy was kicking and screaming “leave mummy alone!” after the police forcefully ripped him out of his mother’s arms.

The police officers, who were not social distancing or wearing masks, said the woman was arrested for not complying with social distancing regulations. Watch the video bellow:
