NEW: Starbucks *fires* heroic barista who subdued and protected a co-worker from robbers after getting pistol-whipped in the head. I can't emphasis this enough: Starbucks is trash. 20-year old Michael Harrison, who was working through paramedic school, was fired after he fought off two criminals who tried robbing the store. The incident happened at a downtown Starbucks in St. Louis. The men rushed into the store with guns and told everyone to get on the floor. Harrison was instructed to open the cash register which he couldn't because he didn't have credentials. As the men went through Harrison's pockets, he was pistol-whipped in the head. A co-worker believed the gun was fake so he started fighting off the robbers. Harrison jumped into action to help him. Harrison was able to subdue Joshua Noe who was later arrested. The police officers thanked Harrison and his co-worker for their bravery. The other assailant, Marquise Porter-Doyle, was arrested nearby. Harrison was praised by local media but Starbucks was not thankful for his actions. They were then placed on paid leave for two weeks. After the two weeks was up, Harrison and his co-worker were fired for "violating company policy." "In situations like this, our training and protocols guide our partners to comply and de-escalate, not just for their safety but for the safety of all in the store," Starbucks said. "That job was helping me pay for college," Harrison said. "I just don’t understand it. I thought it was the right thing to do." This man should have gotten a raise. Instead, he was fired. Insane.

The last 4 years I’ve had a front row seat for a Masterclass on leadership. Truly one of a kind. The word GOAT gets thrown around a lot, but Coach is most certainly him.

@WMCActionNews5 Memphis voters elected lawmakers and judges who are soft-on-crime. This is what those policies look like in real life. Elections have consequences.

When we choose to practice praise, joy, and love, we then find that we experience the love of God to a greater degree in our own lives. He is there, walking in the garden of our own lives, looking for us to see Him and to respond and walk with Him in His providing love.

Now posted on the @DailyMemphian preps page: The first goal of Friday’s D2-A soccer final between ECS and St. George’s was a mistake. But there was no mistake about the second—or who’s the state’s best team in the division this year. dailymemphian.com/section/sports…
