The owners of a San Francisco restaurant apologized two days after three uniformed police officers were asked to leave because staff members were uncomfortable with them carrying firearms.
Hilda and Jesse restaurant was bombarded with one-star reviews on its Yelp page after sharing on Instagram on Dec. 3 that its staff "felt uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons" and "politely asked" the three police officers to leave.
The owners wrote in another statement that the restaurant is "a safe space - particularly for queer and bipoc individuals," and welcomed the officers to return when they are "off duty, out of uniform, and without their weapons." They added that the decision was "not a political statement."
