We need to stop allowing blacks (and guilty white people) to cry racism just because they get in trouble for breaking the law.

Where is it stated the manager asked them to leave before calling the cops? I haven't seen that reported anywhere, so I'm just curious.

What kind of business is this? I know for Starbucks this sort of behavior is extremely common. Different businesses operate differently.

As to the arrest, it still seems a bit extreme given how calmly the entire event went on the two videos.  Once they were outside who knows what happened.  Maybe they "resisted" so they HAD to go to jail.  

If you are asked by someone with authority over a location, such as a manager, and you refuse to leave then you are trespassing. At east that is how it works in most places I know of.
