Here we go again! In this case, a Kansas City police officer was denied service at an Independence, Missouri, restaurant because he had a gun.
Officer Michael Holsworth posted the incident on Facebook. He was on duty and meeting his family for a birthday lunch at the Olive Garden restaurant near Noland Road and U.S. Highway 40.
While waiting, Holsworth an employee came up and told him they don’t allow guns in the restaurant. Find out what happened next and watch the video on the next page:
So there’s alot of things that happened here assuming the officer’s statement is accurate:
1. It should not have been an employee to tell him, it should have been a manager. Officially, in most establishments, employees on their own cannot ask someone to leave.
2. In relation to number 1, the officer should have asked for a manager. Would it have made a difference? Maybe, maybe not, but not asking for a manager when an employee is acting in a clear manner against customers is folly.
3. If the employee did indeed close with “Yes, please leave” chances are it was the employees own prejudices (and make no mistake it is a prejudice) and that employee should be dealt the necessary disciplinary action.
4. Now this might be different for this area, but it sounds like, if the officer was on duty, then he was out of his area on a non-duty related action. Even on his lunch break he’s supposed to be able to head out at a moment’s notice. Also many jurisdictions may not recognize officer’s authority from another jurisdiction pending crime and actions taken.
So there’s too much to consider here to suggest that the employee was completely out of line. This sounds more like bad decisions and judgement culminated in this outcome.
Liberalism is destroying our country. This must stop one way or another. America is on the path and final leg of destruction.
Fuckum never eatin there again ever
Good time for someone to go take a withdraw from that OG…
I’m suspicious. ..
Obama is brainwashing people and businesses about guns. I sure would have felt safer eating at that restaurant knowing there was a police office there with a gun in case a crazy man or woman came in to shoot people. The police officer would have stopped them and saved lives. What the hell is wrong with people’s brains??
Old news.
No more olive garden
Who are they to say that someone in uniform can not be served. Just wait until you need help in anyway Karma is a bit..h think about that first
Lol
