Restaurant Refuses Service to 3 On-Duty Police Officers

A co-owner of a San Francisco restaurant defended refusing service to three uniformed police officers following backlash over the move, calling her establishment a “safe space.”

The on-duty officers were seated at the restaurant Friday but were soon asked to leave because staff became “uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons,” according to an Instagram post from the restaurant, called Hilda and Jesse.

Amid public outrage, the co-owner of the North Beach eatery, Rachel Sillcocks, defended the move in an interview Saturday with KGO-TV in San Francisco

“It’s not about the fact that we are anti-police,” she said. “It is about the fact that we do not allow weapons in our restaurant. We were uncomfortable, and we asked them to leave. It has nothing to do that they were officers. It has everything to do that they were carrying guns.” . . .

In an Instagram post Saturday reacting to the criticism, Sillcocks emphasized her restaurant is “a safe space.” (Read more from “Restaurant Refuses Service to 3 On-Duty Police Officers” HERE)
