Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday demanded that Dunkin’ Donuts offer free coffee and doughnuts to police because an employee who wrote #blacklivesmatter on an officer’s cup was part of a trend of violence against law enforcement. <br /> <br />Last week, a police officer in Providence, Rhode Island complained on social media after finding the Black Lives Matter hashtag on his coffee cup. <br /> <br />“This is absolutely disgraceful,” Van Susteren opined on Tuesday. “This is a brand new case of Dunkin’ disrespect aimed once again right at our nation’s finest.” <br /> <br />Lt. Roger Aspinall, a spokesman for the Providence Fraternal Order of Police, explained that a supervisor advised the officer not to drink the coffee because it might have been tainted or poisoned. <br /> <br />The Fox News host noted that officers seemed to have “a little bit of a target on their back right now.” <br /> <br />“I think it’s a trend nationally right now,” Aspinall agreed. “It’s what you see with the Black Lives Matter group promoting violence against police officers. [It’s] a very difficult time to be in law enforcement.”
