On Thursday, a video was posted on Twitter of two black men being arrested at a Starbucks in Philadelphia. The men had not ordered anything, but were waiting for a friend. They were asked to leave, but refused, and then employees called the police, who arrived to arrest the men as soon as their friend arrived. The police chief, also a black male, has defended the actions of his officers. Starbucks has released an apology on social media, and the CEO released a statement detailing how they will respond to fix their mistake. Celebrities, politicians, and activists are calling for action.

I don't know whether this was a mistake due to company policy or whether it was just this one particular store and its workers, but if it's the former, it needs to be changed completely. If it's the latter, I don't think the entire Starbucks company should be held responsible for the incident as long as they apologize properly and handle the issue immediately. So far, I think they have handled it accordingly in apologizing and promising to fix their mistake. They need to pull through on that promise. These men were not doing anything wrong and they did not deserve to be arrested just for peacefully sitting in a store and not ordering anything. This likely would not have happened in a scenario with people of other races, ages, and genders.

Synthesis: This article can be related to the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, where two Italian men were arrested and later executed for a crime there wasn't proof they committed. In both cases, minority men were unjustly arrested due to bias.
