Controversy Brewing After 2 Riverside Deputies Say They Were Refused Service At Starbucks
RIVERSIDE (CBSLA) — Controversy was brewing Friday at a Riverside Starbucks where witnesses said two deputies were ignored by employees at the store, but was it because of the badge they wore? 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
Asian Cup: China, Vietnam and Iran through to last eight
China 2–1 Thailand Two-time runners up China stayed on course for a quarterfinal meeting with Iran, after their pressure finally told against a Thailand side who achieved their best Asian Cup performance since they hosted in 1972. The Thais took a surprise early lead thanks to an opportunistic strike from Supachai Jaided but were second best for most of the game against opponents who have designs on going deep in this tournament. China had much of the play but the breakthrough was slow in coming. It finally arrived when substitute Xiao Zhi leveled just minutes after Lippi had sent him on. Zhi reacted quickest to prod in his own rebound after Siwarak Tedsungnoen saved his initial header. Tedsungen was in top form throughout with saves from Wu Lei and Yu Dabao but was beaten again from the spot by Gao, who had won the decisive penalty from Chalermpong Kerdkaew. China move to Abu Dhabi for their quarter-final on Thursday and will face Iran. Iran 2–0 Oman Three-times champions … [Read more...] about Asian Cup: China, Vietnam and Iran through to last eight
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
Asian Cup 2019: China survive scare to defeat Kyrgyzstan
Germany-Kyrgyz Vitalij Lux was left ruing a number of missed chances as Kyrgyzstan missed out on causing yet another shock in the 2019 Asian Cup against match favorites China in Group D. With Jordan stunning Australia, Bahrain holding United Arab Emirates to a draw and India thrashing Thailand, the tournament has already had its fair share of upsets. And the Kyrgyz, making their debut in the competition, almost delivered another shock result in an impressive display belying their inexperience at this level. In an open-ended match played at a frenetic pace, Kyrgyzstan matched their more illustrious opponents with a committed and energetic display. And they could, or should, have been three goals up after a dominant first half, but had to make do with a 1-0 lead heading into the break. In the 26th minute, Lux, who was born in Kyrgyzstan but grew up in Germany, sprayed a good chance well over the bar when facing China's keeper Yan Junling one-on-one. And he then poked another chance … [Read more...] about Asian Cup 2019: China survive scare to defeat Kyrgyzstan
