Of course the police had a choice. I’ve seen police correctly and justiably berate people for bad decisions many times. You get to a public place, find out the facts, and tell the loser Starbucks employees that they’re out of line and they shouldn’t be wasting people’s tax dollars on stupid stuff like this.
When my elderly neighbour called the cops because another neighbour’s cat was peeing in her garden, the police told her she was wrong and stupid and they weren’t going to do anything - even though the old bat was right about the law and not letting cats pee in other people’s gardens.
