I read that but it didn't really pass the smell test. The cops talked to two people at the restaurant and they both said they didn't want cops there. My guess is the owner is claiming English malfunction after figuring out he might have just put his restaurant out of business.
Makes one wonder just who he was trying to please. Another reason to learn to speak and talk English.....helps one to understand why refusing to serve others, certainly law enforcement, could end your business.
According to the video, it started when an employee noticed some customers knocking over their soup and water and the employee wondered if the customers were upset by the deputies being in the restaurant.
Why would a restaurant owner choose to placate obnoxious customers? They quickly realized their error and cried crocodile tears.
Some restaurant about an hour north of Seattle asked law enforcement officers who were dining there to not come back (and to spread the word among other LEOs) because customers didn't like law enforcement there:
Supposedly it was a misunderstanding due to a language barrier, but it seems pretty clear that the owner did ask the LEOs not to return.
What do y'all think?
Well the owners aren't even Americans. I think that is the real rub. They live here, make money here, and can't even be bothered to learn proper English.
We have enough tension right now in this country, we don't need foreigners pulling this nonsense.
The owner said they feel terrible about the misunderstanding, and are inviting members of law enforcement to eat at the restaurant for free on Monday, July 18.
According to the owner's son, Xuechuang Li, his father has been receiving death threats after the sheriff's post went viral Thursday afternoon.
This whole thing is sad and hilarious at the same time.

It is more likely that he feels terrible about losing money once it became clear that the community did not share his hatred of law enforcement.
There was no misunderstanding. He stated his position clearly not once but twice. He had an opportunity to clear up any "misunderstanding" when he was contacted for clarification after he told the officers they were not welcome there. Instead of sorting out any "misunderstanding," he confirmed his original statement that law enforcement was not welcome.
Now he seems to think the community is too stupid or too soft-hearted or too "forgiving" to understand that there was no misunderstanding. He might be surprised that Americans are not as stupid as he wants to believe they are.

My brother has a BBQ restaurant run by veterans. Veterans and police officers are great customers. The owner is.. well.... he probably did not think very clearly.

Mebbie the soup spillers should have been the ones to be asked to leave.
