Controversy Brewing After 2 Riverside Deputies Say They Were Refused Service At Starbucks

Two uniformed deputies said four employees at the Iowa and University avenues refused to serve them Thursday. “Why would they deny cops? They help the city,” Daniel Hernandez, a customer, said. “They help us out.” “That doesn’t seem like it would really happen,” Chris Rubio, another customer, said. But Starbucks admitted that the deputies were ignored for nearly five minutes. The company said there was no excuse for any customer, in or out of uniform, to experience that and apologized for any “intentional or unintentional disrespect.” “I don’t know,” Hernandez said. “It might be something personal, might not be.” But Riverside County Sheriff tweeted Friday night in support of his officers and said the … [Read more...] about Controversy Brewing After 2 Riverside Deputies Say They Were Refused Service At Starbucks

Theodore’s struggles have Golden Knights in Cup Final hole
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Gerard Gallant made Shea Theodore skip a shift. He’s not making him walk the plank for two rough games. Theodore’s struggles are a major reason the Golden Knights trail the Capitals 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final going into Game 4 on Monday night in Washington. The talented, young defenseman has been on the ice for four of the Capitals’ past six goals in the series and was primarily responsible for two in Vegas’ Game 3 loss Saturday night. “Did Shea do something real bad? He plays the game like everybody else,” Gallant said Sunday in a passionate defense of Theodore. “He made a couple mistakes, they ended up in the back of our net. A lot of guys make mistakes in hockey games and they don’t end up in the back of the net. Shea’s a 22-year-old kid who I love. He’s a great player. He’s going to be a star in this league.” Theodore doesn’t need to be a star, but he needs to be better for … [Read more...] about Theodore’s struggles have Golden Knights in Cup Final hole
