An unidentified man sticks up Quality Donuts in Oakland

A bakery in San Francisco turned a police officer away because he was armed.
Reem's bakery said it is maintaining a strict policy not to serve anyone carrying a gun.
The San Francisco police union was not happy.
Some cops in San Francisco will have to look elsewhere for their leavened goods after Reem's California, a local bakery chain, said it is enforcing a policy not to serve anyone armed.
The San Francisco Police Officer's Association responded on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that Reem's — a local bakery chain — had recently denied service to an officer who was in uniform.
""NO COPS ALLOWED. That's the confirmed policy of the bakery chain Reem's," the union said in its post on August 24.
The post included a screenshot of an email from Reem's sent to the association that said the company has a policy "to not serve anyone that is armed in a uniform."
It's unclear if Reem's policy applies to all people who are armed or only those who are armed and wearing a uniform.
Reem's did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Sunday, but the bakery chain did post a statement to Instagram Friday that said that it strives to "foster an environment of safety for our staff and customers."
"In a time of increased gun violence — particularly impacting people of color, youth, and queer people — we believe that a strict policy of prohibiting guns in our restaurant keeps us safer."
The restaurant thanked the community for their support in the past and said that it is temporarily closed, but "can't wait to reopen our doors very soon and provide the sanctuary space you all deserve."

That depends on state law.
Tennessee recently enacted a law that says if a store doesn’t allow customers to carry a weapon for self defense then the store is legally responsible for customers’ safety.
It would be astonishing if California had such a law.
Counterpoint: if they are being robbed the cops would stand by regardless and arrest the owners if they defend themselves.

Syrian/Lebanese owner.
This will not age well.
Well, I have enjoyed some of their goodies at The Ferry but, this is dogmatic and asinine
No more...
How about the cop from the Village People
Yes, it is Sam Francisco after all!
All the mass shootings happen in places where there are no guns allowed, bummer for the bakery when the next mass murder takes place in SF the gunman will know that he will be safe from ambush by the cops in that bakery.
Regardless of the law, you can still sue for not providing adequate protection.
But they gladly accept aids infected fags no problem
So if Reems has an issue i guess they wont be calling the police? How can police respond to a call for help without their uniform which includes gun?
Cop, coffee, and donuts. Seems they are losing business unless 1) they are a front business, or 2) they only cater to crimi als.
Its a bif F-ing lie. The bakery is targeting police Because its against the law in SF to open carry a gun. If a armed robber walked in and pointed a gun at them, they would serve him whatever he demanded.
It’s San Francisco. Things work a little differently out there. People will flock to the bakery. Any other city with sensible residents and Reems would be in Chapter 11 within a month.
That store is just begging for an armed robbery...
If I were a cop, I would never enter such a place. They’ll probably spit in your food.
Cots have turned into the enemy. Good for the bakery.
Cops don’t prevent armed robberies. They come after the fact.
No sympathy for the cops. They choose to wallow in that sewer of a city and state. Besides, cops are the first to go after conservative protestors, and do nothing to the Antifas and BLMs of the world. Even take knees with em.
Screw em.
