The union representing members of the Providence Police Department released a statement condemning the Dunkin’ employee’s actions. Share 2.4 k Tweet 45 Pin Comment 231 Email The Dunkin’ Donuts on Atwells Avenue in Providence. The Dunkin’ Donuts on Atwells Avenue in Providence. Google Maps 2.4 k 45 231 By John Waller @jd_waller Boston.com Staff | 10.04.15 | 7:11 PM A uniformed member of the Providence Police Department ordered a cup of coffee at a Dunkin’ Donuts on Friday afternoon. When he was leaving the store, he noticed an employee had left him a message on his Styrofoam cup: “#blacklivesmatter.”

Another Providence officer, William O’Donnell, then posted the account and a photo of the cup on Facebook, according to GoLocalProv.com. “When is this silliness going to end?” he asks in the posting:

“So my coworker just went to get a coffee at Dunkin Donuts on Atwells Avenue in Providence. The worker was immediately rude, and didn’t appear to want to serve him in Uniform. Upon leaving he noticed what she wrote on his coffee cup. #blacklivesmatter. ? Would you drink it? My suggestion…….absolutely not, go to Starbucks. When is this silliness going to end. But if the store gets robbed she’d be calling us immediately to help AND we will because that’s what we do!!!!!!!!!”

On Sunday, the Providence Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #3, the union representing both active and retired members of the department, held an emergency meeting and then released a statement condemning the employee and the Black Lives Matter movement overall:

“Providence FOP #3 finds this action to be unacceptable and discouraging. Members of this Union, who represent active and retired Providence Police officers adamantly, believe that ‘all lives matter’. … The negativity displayed by the #Blacklivesmatter organization towards Police across this nation is creating a hostile environment that is not resolving any problems or issues, but making it worse for our communities.”

Multiple calls to the Dunkin’ Donuts on Atwells Avenue in Providence Sunday resulted in busy signals. In a statement to Boston.com, Dunkin’ Brands said Sunday the franchisee has apologized to police on behalf of the employee:

Dunkin’ Donuts and our franchisees want all guests to be treated well in our restaurants. The franchisee has apologized on behalf of the employee to the police and very much regrets the situation.

Here’s the full statement from Providence Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #3, which the union’s president, Taft Manzotti, emailed to Boston.com:

“On October 2nd, 2015 at approximately 3 pm, a member of the Providence Police Department walked into the Dunkin Donuts located at Atwells Ave and Bradford Street in the city of Providence. This officer was getting a cup of coffee to start his shift. The officer was in a Providence Police uniform representing the Police Department and Providence Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #3. The officer ordered his coffee and found the worker to be somewhat rude and appeared as though they did not want to serve the officer. Upon leaving the establishment, the officer noticed a message written in black mraker on the cup, #Blacklivesmatter.

Providence FOP #3 finds this action to be unacceptable and discouraging. Members of this Union, who represent active and retired Providence Police officers adamantly, believe that ‘all lives matter’. Our officers, like all other Law enforcement agencies work tirelessly to protect and serve all members of the communities. The negativity displayed by the #Blacklivesmatter organization towards Police across this nation is creating a hostile environment that is not resolving any problems or issues, but making it worse for our communities. They are doing this by increasing tensions amongst police and the people they serve.

We, as a union representing Providence Police officers are concerned about the welfare and safety of all members of Law enforcement. This behavior by an employee of a nationwide corporation is unacceptable. We are also concerned by the action of this employee who created a perceived safety issue to our officers. We bring this incident to the attention of other law enforcement officers across this city, state, and country, to remind them to stay vigilant in your efforts to protect and serve. We also thank those members of the community who continue to support law enforcement officers, and work with law enforcement officers to create a safer community for everyone because ALL LIVES MATTER.

Respectfully submitted:

Providence FOP Lodge #3 Executive Board”

There was a similar story out of West Hartford, Connecticut this morning:

"The tweet was in response to an incident on Saturday at the Dunkin' Donuts at 1234 Farmington Ave., during which a West Hartford police officer waiting in line was told by an employee that "we don't serve cops here," according to a police report."

"According to the police report, the employee noticed the officer at the back of the line and she loudly said, "he didn't get the message, we don't serve cops here," according to police."

"The officer left the busy store without any further interaction with employees, and as he returned to his car, the store's manager and the employee approached him, offering apologies for the comment, police said. The employee said she was joking."

Makes you wonder if the officers are going to even look up from their coffee to help the employees when they get robbed.

If I were an officer I would be more worried what they did to my order. If they had to time to write "black lives really don't matter" on a cup they have time to mess with the order. I guess if you are part of the entitled class you don't worry about your actions! I mean can you imagine what would happen if someone wrote on a cup given to Obummer "all lives matter, not just black lives!"? They would have the full weight of the government down upon them! Plus the MSM would have a fit!

If I was a robber, that place would be on the top of my list.

How quaint! You two still think that cops have a duty to "serve and protect".

SUPREME COURT RULING: Police Have No Duty To Protect The General Public

What's remarkable about this story is that the cop didn't "fear for his life" and gun down the gal who wrote the message.

The court ruled that the police do not have a duty to protect you as an individual, but to protect society as a whole.

It means the cops do not have to protect you. Why do you think it is the State vs the criminal in a court proceedings?

It means the cops do not have to protect you.

But they have to protect society as a whole? That does not make any sense. Who or what is general society? Buildings? Roads? But not individual people? Not even a group of people? Another gem of a SCOTUIS ruling!!!!

They have no duty to protect you as an individual.

They have no duty to protect you as an individual.

So a cop can stand idly by and watch me get mugged and then perhaps stabbed or shot and have no obligation to do anything about and even turn his back and ignore it?
