A Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy received a coffee cup with a hand-drawn pig image from a Starbucks in Norwalk, California, over the weekend of January 9, 2026. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department expressed deep concern, calling the drawing "offensive, inappropriate and unacceptable" and a promotion of hostility toward law enforcement. Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson confirmed the incident occurred at one of their locations and stated the drawing was part of a viral "John Pork" meme, intended to uplift employees and not directed at any customer. The barista responsible for the drawing is no longer with Starbucks as of January 13. The department formally raised concerns with Starbucks corporate security to ensure accountability.
