Three uniformed San Francisco police officers sat down for a meal on Friday at an all-day breakfast restaurant.
But it was not long before staff members of the restaurant, Hilda and Jesse, “felt uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons” and “politely asked” the officers to leave, the restaurant said on Instagram on Saturday.
That request drew widespread attention, with the San Francisco police chief criticizing the move and hundreds of people leaving negative ratings on the restaurant’s Yelp page.
The police chief, William Scott, said in a statement on Twitter: “The San Francisco Police Department stands for safety with respect, even when it means respecting wishes that our officers and I find discouraging and personally disappointing.
“I believe the vast majority of San Franciscans welcome their police officers, who deserve to know that they are appreciated for the difficult job we ask them to do — in their uniforms — to keep our neighborhoods and businesses safe.”(snip)
In its statement on Saturday, the restaurant doubled down, saying that it would welcome members of the Police Department “when they are off duty, out of uniform, and without their weapons.”
“This is not a political statement, we did what we thought was best for our staff,” the restaurant added.
In a separate statement, Rachel Sillcocks, one of the owners of Hilda and Jesse, said: “Our restaurant is a safe space — particularly for queer and bipoc individuals. Furthermore, the fact that they were in uniform with multiple weapons on them made our staff uncomfortable, and potentially other guests.
“We’re sorry that the decision upset you,” she continued. “We understand your perspective and we hope you’ll consider ours.”

Good for you gals..Let the criminals know your place is the one place,they can steal or rape and you will never call the cops.....CUZ’THEY CARRY GUNS
There was a restaurant 40 years ago,I used to have breakfast at..There were always 10-15 cop cars there..They gave cops free breakfast every morning...Safest place in the country to eat.....
I would worry more about food poisoning. Or being attacked by rats and roaches. Two D8 Cats could not drag me in there.
So they dis the cops. Good on them. When they get robbed, they will call the cops. The police will take their sweet time getting there.
karma.
Once upon a time (1977-82), the LEFT was aghast at the concept of the Neutron Bomb, an Enhanced Radiation Weapon/Device (ERW), described as a H-Bomb designed to kill people rather than military targets! While the description and scare was over-the-top, this was a battlefield & tactical H-Bomb that was designed to be more accurate and thus to limit collateral damage.
Me? I’m wishing for a REAL Neutron Bomb and I am dreaming of a proper test target. I will let you guess where that might be!
This story is two weeks old.
bankruptcy is going to be the best remedy for these jerks who have their heads so far up their @sses they can’t see things clearly..........

Right. Even with barf bags----which we have to pay for.
We feel uncomfortable with the many Karens, feminists, BLM creeps and arrogant champions of socialist takeover, but we have to just buck up and bear it. So far.
RE: Latest “woke” term:
Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)

Maybe we need to make up some clever acronyms for our opponents. Like POS. Darn, it was already taken. Might apply, though. People of Socialism.
I hope those 2 aren’t handling food.
A message——
The main thing is, police and deputies, please don’t act like the FBI and go all woke and mushy and prissy on us.
Pretend to go along with the woman mayor and metrosexual governor when they tell you to use one of the approved gender terms or to honor the violent thugs’ rights. But side with us someday when they try a Communist takeover big time.
These woke a-holes are disrespecting you. They hate you. Someday they will join the ones who come up behind you and shoot you in the back as this past week with a fallen officer.

Don’t forget that, officers. Side with us and save America.
“ Our restaurant is a safe space — particularly for queer and bipoc individuals.”
I guess I do not read enough. Up until right this moment, I was totally unaware of the fact that cops go out of their way to oppress homosexuals
It was once common in in high crime NYC neighborhoods for the owners of eateries to offer police in uniform almost free meals to sit down and eat. It cut down on crime. The local lowlifes never knew when fully armed, no nonsense cops would be stopping in for some food
If you believed that weapons fired themselves, as Alec Baldwin asserts, they might have a case.
As for showing up off duty, almost all departments require that off duty officers be armed at all times. So....
Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)
Wouldn’t indigenous blacks be called Africans, born and raised on that continent, or Australian indigenous?
Unfortunately they’ll have some support to keep them going; for a while anyway.
POS bitches...
Are people of color the same as colored people?
Insane kooktard Libs who watch people die every night in the Tenderloin and out by Candlestick who shudder at a trained, licensed policeman who is paid to protect them and their business.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
