I was working a few weeks ago, and around 8 o'clock a black guy came in and asked us if he could use the restroom. I said sure and pointed him in the proper direction. He thanked us and then sat down and made a few phone calls. He had a big tupperware full of candy bars, and he kept to himself, as everyone does when they spend time at Starbucks.

Since I work at a coffee shop, we get a lot of cops come in and relax after a long day of patroling the mean streets of San Ramon. Anyway, there were two cops chatting at a table, and I turned around to do a few things. I turn around and the next second the two cops are interrogating the man outside of the Starbucks. Since this is basically the most eventful thing that has happened after 4pm, me and Dooner watched and tried to guess what was going on, although we really had no idea.

A customer who came to order a drink asked us what the situation was, but we had no idea. The three of us watched for a little bit, and then a freaking BACKUP came in and helped them out, so it was three menacing policemen approaching a black man who wore baggy clothing but did not appear threatening.

The police then FRISKED him, and we were getting all rowdy inside, because this is pretty crazy that something is happening in front of Starbucks.

But, they didn't take anything from the man, and they eventually left. The black guy then came in and we asked him what all happened.

He was part of a Youth Outreach program to fundraise for underprivileged children, and the cops told him that the residents of the apartments across the street said that he was causing a disturbance. They frisked him and all he had were his papers that gave him the right to sell the candy, so they couldn't nab him for loitering.

We still have a long way to go.
