Ice Cream Shop Won’t Serve Officers With Body Armor.

This is not a smart decision at all by the owner. He will be calling those same police hoping that they have those same body armor if a gunman would come into his store shooting people then barricade himself inside.

If they are all shot up then the police coming after the fact really is of no consequence. Again, you are implying that they may not show up to a crime scene or active shooter because they asked officers not to wear tactical gear. That is far more damning for the state of law enforcement that you think that will happen than it is for the owner making a social media post. Also telling that you seem to think this is a real possibility.

Your statement says a lot about the country we live in and the accepted reality of violence and police retribution. Then again it makes sense since we saw a white parade shooter easily apprehended after killing 6 people and a black person shot 60 times for fleeing a traffic stop. 'Murica.

LOL! I guess we're anti-social. Signalling very little. We don't do election lawn signs, window stuffs etc [I've known a few on my block that removed their BLM signs after that orgs founders went the way of all flesh].

The last items on our windows were the Home Depot stickers the installers left!

Virtue signalling. Its very important in some circles to place just the right signs in your windows. [Think Havel's Greengrocer.]

“It is disturbing and unsettling for some people in our space” yeah Tim those people are called “idiots” and you should never listen to them. God I feel bad for cops.

IMHO what Tim Mahoney doesn't get is that one day soon we'll all have to wear body armor.

Regardless, denying police service because they come into the restaurant wearing tactical gear is very foolish and childlike. What if a person comes in the restaurant with camouflage outfit stopping in to get a carryout on his way to be shipped out. Will the soldier be denied also?

^ That factor does seem to emerge doesn't it? We must come to some reasonable terms with law-abiding, non-criminal policing. Considering a few of our family members and loved ones may work in that area, we can hope.

Against the narrative of a full-out occupying force where that means little.

‘Did this business say that or were they specific? They didn’t even say all police officers, just that they didn’t want tactical gear in their establishment. Quit making this out to be more than what it is.
