Food Truck Owner In Detroit Proudly Refuses To Serve Police Officers

According to this, a food truck owner in Detroit refuses to serve police officers because they make her feel unsafe. What’s more, she claims that the majority of her customers “do not feel safe around law enforcement agents” either.

The owner of Rocky’s Road Brew, Rocky Coronado, wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post on Friday that she is “well within [her] rights to refuse service to law enforcement agents,” such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local police officers.

The truck owner detailed in a separate post that she turned away two officers on Friday who were “in a unmarked, black suburban with tinted windows both with bulletproof vests and badges.”

It’s not like she’s doing this quietly either. She’s EXTREMELY proud to refuse service to police officers. She’s borderline bragging.

Her post reads:

Yesterday, two people came by in a unmarked, black suburban with tinted windows both with bulletproof vests and badges. I do not serve law enforcement (ICE, Homeland Security, DPD, etc) so I told em I was closed to not make a tense situation more so. They then circled back around with a lady (still with bulletproof vest and badge)getting out of her vehicle asking why I didn’t serve them. Not feeling confrontational, I meekly told her that I don’t serve law enforcement. She told me she was w the humane society and that we probably have the same political ideas. That’s when I was ready to rectify the situation but she quickly became belligerent. She took her phone out and stated taking pictures (wish I woulda done the same). The customers already at the truck were harassed by her and photographed despite NOT having their consent. THATS WHEN I REFUSED HER SERVICE and asked her to leave. She posted or her male passenger posted some pics with their false account of what happened. The posts went viral and I decided to post why I do not serve law enforcement agents. Since then All Lives Matter, “Patriots,” MAGA, & “Christians” have been slandering, threatening, and harassing the business via Facebook. These people, their code switching, their hate, their ignorance shows me I’m on the right path. These people are the threat to freedom, equality, & peace in America.
As a brown queer person in America, I am well aware that my very being is a threat to Amerikkka and its lineage of genocide, fragility, and hate. My very existence is my resistance and just like my ancestors, I am resilient. So despite the hate and slander, I am well. I wanted to thank everyone for the emotional labor (these creeps cannot be reasoned with) and support. It’s super comforting and I love y’all for it. I had planned to take the day off to attend RISE in Flint (a nationwide day of environmental action) but because of the madness I’ll be doing some self care near home. So, I’ll be closed but will keep you posted on when I’ll be opened back up. With resistance and love in mind, Rocky Coronado #blacklivesmatter #refugeeswelcome #chingalamigra #nomamesguey

Don’t you just feel so bad for this queer WOC (I cannot believe I just used that abbreviation omg), who up until now has had a SUCCESSFUL small business? How did she manage to do such a thing in a place like “Amerikkka,” with its “lineage of genocide, fragility, and hate” and whatnot? Amazing!

Mark Diaz, the President of DPD’s police union, was disheartened by the news but said officers will continue to keep the community safe, because THAT’S WHAT THEY DO YOU UNGRATEFUL HAG.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig told The Detroit News that his officers find the business owner to be “uncooperative” with the department.

“Generally speaking, we have good relations in that neighborhood, but my officers tell me whenever they’ve been in that area investigating criminal matters, she’s been uncooperative and rude,” Craig said.

The Facebook post said that “because of the madness” and backlash the posts have received, Rocky’s Road Brew temporarily will be closed.

*because of the madness YOU BROUGHT UPON YOURSELF. There. fixed it for you.

It’s one thing to politely refuse service, it’s another to BRAG about it.
