10. The "pushback" was Starbucks saying the employee union wasn't authorized to post inflammatory statements.

The company hasn't taken a position one way or the other. They don't want a couple of employees posting inflammatory things on social media that pretend to be company policy. Even members of the union opposed the social media post.

In any case, that disagreement doesn't justify vandalizing businesses.
