SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) The owners of a restaurant in San Franciscos
North Beach neighborhood apologized Sunday for asking police officers to
leave their eatery because the officers guns made employees
uncomfortable.
In a statement posted Sunday on social media, Hilda and Jesse owners
Rachel Sillcocks and Kristina Liedags Compton said these are stressful
times and we handled this badly.
Three officers were asked to leave the brunch spot on Friday and the
restaurant posted an explanation on its Instagram channel Saturday that
read: The restaurant is a safe space. The presence of the officers
weapons in the restaurant made us feel uncomfortable. We respect the San
Francisco Police Department and are grateful for the work they do. We
welcome them into the restaurant when they are off duty, out of uniform
and without their weapons.
Outcry soon followed on social media, including a response from San
Francisco police chief William Scott, who said his department stands for
safety with respect, even when it means respecting wishes that our
officers and I find discouraging and personally disappointing.
The restaurant owners backtracked on Sunday with the apology on Instagram.
We made a mistake and apologize for the unfortunate incident on Friday
when we asked members of the San Francisco Police Department to leave our
restaurant, said Sillcocks and Liedags Compton. We are grateful to all
members of the force who work hard to keep us safe, especially during
these challenging times.
The incident drew comments supporting both sides. Some commenters were
clearly upset at the incident, calling it discriminatory and pointing out
that if there were to be an emergency the officers would be there to help.
How disrespectful and entitled of the business to treat people who risk
their lives to protect us, wrote one poster. Its a bit heartbreaking
actually.
Local resident John Perri agreed.
So bummed this happened in my neighborhood, he posted. Never had the
food at this new restaurant. But it could not possibly be good enough to
cover the bad taste this leaves.
Peter Schreyer had a differing viewpoint.
Its her restaurant she can do what she wants, he posted. Who wants to
be eating lunch next to someone with a weapon.
