NEW BRITAIN, CT- I guess we need to add Target to the list of woke, anti-cop businesses. At least, the Target in New Britain, Connecticut. Apparently, the manager of that store is buying into the Black Lives Matter and Democrat party narrative that all cops are evil bastards. And frankly, we are getting tired of it.

The mayor of New Britain, Erin Stewart said that police in that city were at the store in the middle of an annual back-to-school supply drive when they were told to leave the store because, as she said, the manager said “he doesn’t support the police.” Unbelievable.

Police throughout our country constantly hold various fundraisers and are a huge fundraiser for Special Olympics through the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run, Tip-a-Cop fundraising, Polar Plunges and all manner of fundraising.

Yet here, you have the police trying to run a drive to buy school supplies for less fortunate children and a virtue signaling jackwad store manager tells them to leave. You cannot make this up.

Last week, the New Britain Police Department announced that they wanted to stuff a few of their police cruisers with school supplies to help city children and families prior to the new school year’s commencement, WFSB-TV in Hartford reported.

The New Britain fire chief, Raul Ortiz pitched in to answer Stewart’s call for support, tweeting, “I’ll donate. That is unbelievable. Isn’t community policing and involvement what we want more of? Our NBPD has been exceptional in that aspect.”

According to Stewart, Target’s regional manager “made a personal $500 donation for supplies and apologized for what happened,” Stewart said just minutes after her first tweet.

Later, Stewart posted a follow-up tweet, advising that Target was going to let “PD go back this weekend for collection drive and has placed a donation bin in the store.”

In response the next day, Target responded on Twitter in which they made a half-hearted apology but fell short of saying whether or not the store manager had been reprimanded for his short-sighted and discriminatory decision. They claimed that it was an “issue of miscommunication.”

I loathe Target and would threaten never to shop there again but for the fact I stopped going there years ago when they banned Salvation kettles outside their stores.
