I don't believe this was a racial thing. I believe there's more to the story. I would bet money these guys mouthed off to the Starbucks employee and refused to leave or order anything.

Did nobody watch the two videos I posted?
They were asked to leave and refused to leave. The police showed up and asked them to leave. Again, they refused. At that point, they were placed under arrest. The black police chiefy guy said race was not an issue. The black police supervisor on site apparently didn't see race as an issue.
I don't care who you are, if you are asked to leave a business, and refuse, you are trespassing and subject to arrest. Once the police are involved, if you still refuse to leave when asked by them then you WILL be placed under arrest, black or not. Notice, the police are not obligated to ask you to leave, they could just show up and arrest your hind end and toss you in the clink.
