'We're fed up': Allie's Donuts drops police, military discounts

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WJAR) — Military and police discounts will no longer be offered at Allie's Donuts, according to a statement posted on its Facebook and Instagram pages.

"A note to the officer who profiled the Providence firefighter the other night: That is an example of terrible job performance," Allie's wrote in a story on its Instagram page Saturday. "If you were an athlete, you'd be cut from your team. If you were our employee, we would fire you immediately. But, you are a police officer. And despite being the ones responsible for protecting the law, you may be considered 'above it' & face ZERO consequences for your mistakes."

Providence firefighter Terrell Paci told NBC 10 News he became the victim of racial profiling while in uniform this week outside of the Messer Street fire station, where he works. He said police drew their guns and claimed Paci matched the description of a suspect reportedly seen waving a gun nearby.

The Providence Fraternal Order of Police denied the allegations Saturday and said a witness told police they believed the car Paci was in contained the suspects.

"We're fed up. Until local police takes action to solve problems with racism & injustice, Allie's Donuts will choose to stand with the people of our great state," the post on the North Kingstown doughnut shop's Instagram and Facebook pages read. "We will no longer offer military or police discounts. Thank you for your service, and shame on you for your silence."

Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza called the allegations "deeply disturbing" and said the city has opened an investigation into this incident.

On Sunday, Allie's Donuts addressed their statement on Instagram.
