Providence Police Union Says Dunkin' Donuts Employee Safety Issue to Officers
The meeting was held after a Providence Police officer was handed a coffee cup at a Federal Hill Dunkin' Donuts with #BlackLivesMatter written on it Friday night.
The letter in part raises concerns about officer's safety, the need for all FOPs to be vigilant, and their reinforcement of the idea that ALL LIVES MATTER.

We as a union representing Providence police officers are concerned about the welfare and safety of all members of law enforcement.
This behavior by an employee of a nationwide corporation is unacceptable. We are also concerned by the action of this employee who created a perceived safety issue to our officers.
We bring this incident to the attention of other law enforcement officers across the city, state, and country, to remind them to stay vigilant in our efforts to protect and serve.
We also thank those members of the community who continue to support law enforcement officers and work with law enforcement officers to create a safe community for everyone because ALL LIVES MATTER.
