The police said, "Ok, that's all we need to know."

The group eventually left one detainment was ended.

IIRC, the person on the video identified himself as a manager when the police inquired if they were management.

So did management change their minds after receiving a complaint by another patron or did management not put forth a consolidated message, eg. it is ok/approved, so leave the group alone? What is being said before, during and after the incident by management is inconsistant. Is management just being fickle or vacillating for damage control?

Well when your restaurant is raided by 15 police cars and you have a large pile of officers making a scene in front of your place I dont blame him for wanting everyone to go away. The police even blocked off the entrance to the restaurant from the street.

My point was none of this would have happened if the police never showed up. No, the owner approved us to meet there and didnt relay it to his managers very well but they are a family of 2A supporters and there was no bad blood at all and they wished us well.

You should get a larger group together and all go back carrying rifles (I'm assuming that you are still welcome there).
