Calls Grow to Boycott Starbucks After Two Black Men Arrested for Not Making Order
Calls are growing for a boycott of the Starbucks coffee shop chain after police were filmed arresting two black men waiting for a friend in a branch in Philadelphia.
Under the #BoycottStarbucks hastag on Twitter, people accused the chain’s employees of racially profiling the men, and criticised police for arresting them when they refused to leave.

1) I don't really think there is a big call to boycott...I think there is an organized effort trying to create a call to boycott.
2) We don't know whats going on here -- can't tell by the info provided
3) Its a great race-baiting story...there's going to be a bunch of sanctimonious idiots that act like its a given that Starbucks should just let anyone who wants to sit in their stores indefinitely without ordering.
4) Is this a set up?...How long were these guys there? Why didn't they leave after the store asked them? Then they asked to use the bathroom like they were baiting the situation. Then they refuse to leave after police asked them repeatedly? lol? Some random white dude there just happens to be filming the whole thing and super on-their-side?
