Unfortunately the cops are always put in a bad spot. All I can say is that AMC just lost my business. Plus, I’m not paying 15 dollars to sit in a chair being forced to wear a face diaper that does nothing other than to make the leftists feel empowered!
The cop likely has no choice other than to remove the family from the theater. It is private property and the “agent” of the property wanted them removed.
Under the ADA, the family can sue AMC who will likely settle to make the bad publicity go away if they do not go bankrupt and out of business first.
We are living in insanity.
