Kato Mele was forced to close her coffee shop in Lynn, Massachusetts, this week after comments her daughter made online about police angered customers.

Mele’s 23-year-old daughter, Sophie, who was the manager of the cafe, posted on her personal Facebook page that they would never host a “Coffee with a Cop” event, saying police were “racist bullies” and other pejoratives.
