190. But deep down do you really think that's the case?
"This cafe is protecting its clientele from perceived bad policing."

The guy just came in for a cup of coffee. I doubt anyone had the notion that any policing was the agenda. And even if there was official police business, there's not damn thing they could have done about it. The store owner knew he could make him leave *because* he knew he was just there for coffee.

Throwing out a cop just because he's a cop is pretty freaking low in my opinion, but many are arguing that the store owner had virtuous intent. While I won't pretend to know for a fact his intentions, it's pretty clear to me he was just trying to show off for his young, rebellious clientele.
