Black Rifle Coffee's Response to the Starbucks Barista who Called a Police Officer a 'Pig' is Epic

On Friday, an Oklahoma police officer's Starbucks cup with "pig" printed on it went viral on social media, causing justifiable outrage not only at the barista who created the cup label but at the manager of the store who didn't adequately respond to a complaint from the local police chief. The barista has since been suspended, but many are still outraged at the coffee giant.

Black Rifle Coffee, a premium, small-batch, roast-to-order, veteran-owned coffee company based out of Utah, is trying to do right in this situation. After expressing outrage about the story, Black Rifle Coffee decided to make a grand gesture and offered to "hook up" the Kiefer Police Department with free coffee. "Can someone get us the name and location of the precinct of the officer that had PIG written on his Thanksgiving order for coffee so we can hook them up," the company tweeted. "They won’t be needing to go anywhere for coffee for a while."
