Vegan Detroit Food Truck Owner Refuses To Serve Cops
Must not be a cake baker. Libs have no problem with this evidently.
Quote:The owner of a Detroit food truck company has drawn criticism — and some praise — after announcing on social media she won’t serve police officers.
“On this street corner I encounter all types and the only type that has ever purposely intimidated me is DPD (Detroit Police Department),” said Friday’s post on the Rocky’s Road Brew in Detroit Facebook page.
“The majority of my neighbors, customers, and myself do not feel safe around law enforcement agents (ICE, DPD, Homeland Security, etc),” the post said. “I have asked friends from the National Lawyers Guild and I am well within my rights to refuse service to law enforcement agents.
“This for the safety of my neighbors and customers (who have all become friends) and myself,” said the post, which was accompanied by a photo bearing the message “We reserve the right to refuse service to cops.”
The missive ended with the hashtags #blacklivesmatter #refugeeswelcome, and a profanity in Spanish insulting immigration officers.
As of 11 a.m. Saturday, the post had gotten almost 1,000 likes, although about half of those were the “angry” emoji.
Rocky Coronado, owner of the truck, acknowledged during a brief phone interview with The Detroit News that she posted the message, but didn’t want to discuss it.
“If you can read, you know what the story is,” she said.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the woman is known to be hostile to police officers.
“Generally speaking, we have good relations in that neighborhood, but my officers tell me whenever they’ve been in that area investigating criminal matters, she’s been uncooperative and rude,” Craig said.
“She has clearly shown disdain for police; the million-dollar question is: Why? We’d like to know what the issue is, and would like to sit down and talk to her about her concerns,” Craig said. “I don’t agree with what she’s putting on Facebook, but if she ever needs help we’ll give her the same service we’d give anyone else.”
The Rocky’s Road Brew truck, which is usually parked on Vernor Highway in southwest Detroit, offers vegan tacos and organic coffee and tea. The company was praised by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals earlier this year when PETA named Detroit one of the nation’s 10 most vegan-friendly cities.

RE: Vegan Detroit Food Truck Owner Refuses To Serve Cops
Like it or not, a cop is not a race, religion or an ethnicity. Just like those without shirts and shoes who are also refused service.
That being said, while I don't support his stance, I can still respect and fight for her right to do it. But to pretend that police officers, like all professions, don't have bad actors is just ridiculous.

You obviously didn't even take time to read the article before commenting. The owner is female.

RE: Vegan Detroit Food Truck Owner Refuses To Serve Cops
DPD higher ups should make a few calls to some health dept officials and find a "reason" to shut that food truck down.
On the flip side, anyone who eats anything from those food trucks is asking for trouble. My aunt got some tacos from one of them once and it made her sick. She couldn't believe that it did. I looked at her and said "you ate something that a Mexican cooked in the back of a truck and you're surprised that it made you sick??"

It would just make them petty like the food truck owner.

If I were a policeman, I'd put her on my "do not serve" list.

My problem with vegans is that the majority of them are pro-abortion.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

According to the video in the tweet above this is the "female". Yikes!!

Call me crazy..but..wouldn't it be more effective to feed some cops for free and try to talk to them openly, honestly and objectively about the issues you have with they way they do their jobs? I guess this guy never heard the old axiom about catching flies with honey.

Hitler was a vegan. Hope cops look to help when she gets robbed, but somehow have a flat tire.

I would have thought that the thing to do was to have lots and lots of such events. That seems to be a far more productive activity than kneeling for the national anthem. But so far we've got lots of kneeling and not so much of the other.

RE: Vegan Detroit Food Truck Owner Refuses To Serve Cops
“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.”
Anthony Bourdain
