Philadelphia Starbucks faces protests after arrest of 2 black men


Starbucks wants to add training for store managers on "unconscious bias," CEO Kevin Johnson said Monday, as activists held more protests at a Philadelphia store where two black men were arrested when employees said they were trespassing. Johnson, who has called the arrests "reprehensible," arrived in Philadelphia this weekend after video of the arrests gained traction online. Over the weekend, demonstrators called for the firing of the employee who contacted police, who arrested the men on Thursday. Video shows several police talking quietly with two black men seated at a table. Starbucks regional vice president Camille Hymes attempted to talk to the protesters, but was shouted down, after two black men were reported to police for being in the coffee shop in Philadelphia.
