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.

Too late.

Trust has been violated.

Trust must be earned.

Words are just words.

This restaurant owner was about to lose his A$$! Some serious back peddling is required.

There was no mistake. The owner is only upset because he’s realized he destroyed his own business.

Justice.

Having watched the report, I would say it was no misunderstanding. Do they regret it? Sure. Their business is done.

It happened and the mistake was all the owner’s. Sad, but I would NEVER eat there. A Darwin contender.

I don’t believe it - if you listen to the police officer in the interview, it’s clear. They’re done.

Assuming the owner is telling the truth, he had a choice to make: he could offend the complaining customers by telling them that he did not need their bigotry and that they need no longer patronize his establishment because he respected the police; or he could do what he did and chase away the police instead.

It appears he made the wrong choice.
