Three uniformed, on duty officers were denied service and asked to leave the local restaurant because the owners claim the fact that the officers were armed made the staff uncomfortable. The owners would not say if they would, or would not, deny service to armed officers in the future.
I guess they don’t realize that those weapons are part of an officer’s duty uniform. I also guess they don’t want police officers to enter their business if a problem happens, since armed officers make the staff uncomfortable.
Probably for the restaurant… First they just advertised to the criminal element that the restaurant is a no cop zone. And cops are not allowed to leave their weapons behind when on duty.
This is one of those “we feel bad about how it may affect our business traffic, we feel bad about how it makes us look, but not about what we did.” In other words not sorry for doing it, just sorry about how it will now have a negative business impact.
Okay, so I looked at their web site. They are making it sound and look like a high end joint. But it is far away from the tourist traffic in a neighborhood where you would want the Police hanging out. These gals made a huge mistake.
Preach it for all to hear. Just because someone put it in a lesson plan did not make it true and just because someone memorized it did not make them any smarter.
I had a career working in high tech with a lot of folks who had the highest degrees. And the majority of them had PhD’s in the sciences. And I was always amazed how many of them had no street smarts at all. And I was always of the opinion that you put a technician and a engineer in the same bag and I will bet you who gets out first.
