in #news8 years ago

Starbucks :has triggered outrage after a video of two black men being arrested from one of their Philadelphia stores for "trespassing" went viral.

The men said they were simply waiting for a friend before ordering.

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson has now issued an apology. It isn't "representative of our mission and values," he said.

But an apology "is not enough," said Mayor Jim Kenney.https://photos.app.goo.gl/zARtMOezfyz5HtRW2
