SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. -- The owner of the Lucky Teriyaki broke down in tears Thursday night and said cops are welcome at his restaurant -- will even get free meals on Monday -- after a public backlash to a report by the Skagit County sheriff said the man had told deputies that law enforcement officers were no longer welcome at his establishment.
The man's son said in a heavy accent that it had all been a misunderstanding and he apologized for the incident.

"....quick,call a medic....someone check his neck,there had to be an injury there"
People tend to get their opinions from narratives. These echo chambers lead them to believe they are in the informed majority. So they parrot what they hear and are shocked to discover that people disagree.

He could have kept his stupid mouth shut, an opportunity too few people too infrequently avail themselves of. I still believe he was expressing a personal preference, not relaying customers’ concerns.
[I dont believe it]
Neither does anyone else.
that cat’s on the menu ...
So...the restaurant owner has cop hating patrons & he sided with them rather than tell them to take their business elsewhere because he respects the police? Was that it?
I don’t know, it is all very puzzling.
[Just who instilled his hate for LEOs?]
The public school system no doubt.
Go to Yelp and check out the reviews. They are getting hammered! This guy is a nitwit and I think his business is done. Good!
You come back, I luv you rong time.

Blah blah blah.
One thing is certain from this breaking news story from Tom Brokjaw:
"The feline population in Skagit County rests easy tonight as the owners of a local Teriyaki restaurant close their doors and return to the rathole from which they emerged after an unprecedented drop in business.
It seems that The luckless owners of the Lucky Teriyaki told local law enforcement that they were no longer welcome and would not be served and that was the beginning of the end of their American dream.
As I said, he apparently made the wrong choice. But if he is to be believed, he didn’t put himself in the predicament. His bigoted customers did.
He made a decision — a bad one, it turns out — and now he gets to pay the consequences.
Very possible. Notice that I prefaced my remarks with “If the owner is telling the truth ...”.
I would not trust the food for anyone, and it probably was bing tainted in ways even before!
One does not suddenly have such dislike of some people - this guy likely has a serious dislike of many people but big desire for money so likely phony to many all along!
Any cop that eats there now is a fool. I gaurantee you that his/her food will be well doctored and seasoned by the time he/she gets it.It is best to stay away from where you are not wanted.
They’ll pay a high price for their stupidity. I hope no one eats there any more.
