Relevant to some of the discussions we've been having wrt the Sin Fronteras Cafe proposal and Omni's stance on not talking to police, Hasta Muerte Coffee on Fruitvale Ave has recently made international headlines for refusing to serve an Oakland police officer:

* http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/coffee-shop-police-ban-hasta-muerte-oakland-california-a8248806.html

The business is experiencing a huge outpouring of threats, online reputation trolling, and harassment. Please drop by if you can @ 2701 Fruitvale Ave. and give them your love and support, or if you can't visit, help by flagging the many offensive and defamatory reviews being posted on Yelp and the like.
