Agree or disagree with calling the police?
Starbucks decision to call the police has led to accusations of racial profiling by the company and the police.

I've already commented on this, but thought I would add this. I don't really envy the job of the store manager or employees.
I am currently sitting at a Starbucks in Seattle, sipping an ice tea, and pretending to work.
A homeless woman walks in. She looks like she's in her early 50s, but pretty weathered. Wearing sandals, short fabric shorts and a tank top, half of her teeth gone, wild hair. The store manager is a black woman, and the two employees are Chinese women.
The woman starts yelling: nigger lovers, Jews, kick them out. She wants the black guy and the Chinese guy playing a chess game to be kicked out, and she continues to scream the same thing over and over. It's clear she's off her meds. The store manager has no choice but call security. They come and escort her out, onto the street.
