Speaker 1: Kato Mealy, the owner of a coffee shop in Lynn,
Speaker 1: mass Jose. It's found out the damage social media can
Speaker 1: do to a thriving enterprise. On Facebook, ms Mealy's daughter,
Speaker 1: Sophie said the shop would never host a coffee with
Speaker 1: a cop event. She said that cops are bullies. She's
Speaker 1: adamantly anti police. After getting pushed back online, she doubled down.
Speaker 1: She said that police uphold an unjust system and the
Speaker 1: police commit murder without consequence. While a firestorm erupted, ms
Speaker 1: Mealy fired her daughter and wrote an apology to the police.
Speaker 1: She called her daughter's remarks distasteful, biased and hateful, and
Speaker 1: she said the word police officers due is heroic and
Speaker 1: that her daughter should never have linked her own personal
Speaker 1: views to the business. No, none of that stopped the storm.
Speaker 1: Some of the comments posted by those offended by Sophie's
Speaker 1: anti cops posts were just as adamant as Sophie's posting.
Speaker 1: Exhausted by all of this, Ms Mealy announced the office
Speaker 1: shop would be closing. Her business shutdown less than two
Speaker 1: weeks after a hateful post appeared on social media, put
Speaker 1: there by her own daughter. Now, I have a suggestion
Speaker 1: for Sophie, who is now looking for work. You know.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about calling the NFL Players Union. They
Speaker 1: don't like the cops either. This could be a perfect
Speaker 1: fit for you.
