There was no misunderstanding until the public backlash was felt by the restaurant folks and boom - ah, sorry LE we no speaka da Ingish, pwease, you comaa back, prease...

I assume the owner has been in business for more than a few weeks, and I think he should be able to communicate well enough to distinguish between "please come back" and "our other customers don't like you being here." I think Abraham nailed it, the retraction only occurred after it was posted on social media, and the backlash started.

I seriously doubt that a misunderstanding occurred, when the information was given verbally to two officers on scene, and then again in a follow up phone call.

Not too smart a move on the part of the restaurant owner. He better hope he doesn't have a robbery, etc.. Response time could be delayed by the location being removed from GPS in police cars.

Who would want to cater to customers who don't like the police? Not the kind I want to sit down to dinner with.

I hope that the good citizens of that area, make sure to take their business elsewhere. Maybe a few weeks of no sales (or only sales to the criminal element) will give the owner a new respect for LEOs.
