If correct, the men refused to leave. What were the cops supposed to do? Buy them a coffee?

I agree calling the cops was most like only done based on the color of their skin.

But when the cops arrived their job was to trespass the men, not try some kind of conflict resolution. Had they refused to trespass the men they would be facing discipline.

And I never remember a time with thinking polite cops. Here in the south their job has always been to thuggishly enforce the racial status quo.
