But beware, criminals, his vegan friends will come to his defense when he calls them to his rescue and boy will you be sorry.

The cop is pure class. The cafe owner is pure crass.

Isn’t that vegan shop owner thus violating the civil rights of the policeman. He is refusing to serve him because of his color (blue uniform).

Hey Dougie: You misspelled “crass”. Added too many letters.

may the owner of the cafe soon be visited by thugs and thieves or at least if I was a thug and thief this would be my next hit and I would be sure to be armed and point the gun at the guys head until he cried and begged for mercy. “My parting words after listening to him beg for a good five to fifteen minutes? “Who’s your Mama now hippie? Nice to know you hate cops and won’t allow them in your cafe.”

“”If it happened again, I wouldn’t serve him.””

The police shouldn’t respond if they’re robbed. They should ignore all but medical 911 calls. If some crackhead robs the place, let ‘em throw vegetables at him.

I wonder if Langley realizes that he just advertised the fact that his business is an easy target? Probably not.

Wonder who the Red & Black cafe calls when they get held up?

Nice wholesome looking officer. The city should be proud.

You're right...I added an extra "Cr".

Unfortunately if the cafe gets robbed they will be the first to call the cops and expect them to do something.

yes. I would specifically target them if I was a nefarious type. Which of course I am not. Something high drama to make the news paper. Preferably with a Nixon or Obama mask or both just to have some fun. Maybe throw in a Paul McCartney and Reagan masks. Hell add Jimma C too!

The incident, which was brief, speaks volumes about the tensions between Portland police and some members of the community who are more worried about police shootings than protection.

That's ridiculous ... what that business owner did ...

I worked in a downtown Portland business for a while and we welcomed the Portland Police there. I got to know quite a few of them and was friends with a few, too. They were very helpful and worked well with all the businesses.

The Portland Police have a high presence in downtown Portland, in order to keep a lid on the riff-raff that one gets in any city. And they do a very good job of it, too.

Downtown Portland is a "walking town" and you'll find a lot of people walking around in the day, into the evenings and on the weekends. It's not like a lot of other big cities I've seen in the U.S. where the core downtown areas are places you don't want to be when the business day is over, if at all, any time of the day.

The downtown section of Portland is busy and vibrant and a lot of activities going on and there's a whole lot of foot traffic.

I'm in Tulsa now and although that downtown is nice and clean and "neat" (not dirty or trashed) -- it is pretty vacant and not very much going on at all.

Anyway, the relative safety for people in downtown Portland is thanks to the Portland Police and the good job that they do there.

Of course, at that point, the effing liberal will be screaming bloody murder about "where were the cops to protect me when I needed it!?"

I have to go to Portland on business in a couple months. At least I know one place NOT to visit.

nope. no clue. Great example of how many of these libbies are mental cases and have no solid reasoning ability as they are completely unhinged.

yes. The cops keep those people very safe downtown as there are some serious nefarious types.
