Woke San Francisco Restaurant Kicks Cops Out Because They Had Their Service Weapons
A woke San Francisco restaurant is defending itself after a backlash because they kicked out a group of uniformed cops because they were wearing their service weapons.
The trendy restaurant, called Hilda and Jesse on Union St., is defending its “rule” that no one who is armed is allowed in their restaurant. Eatery manager Rachel Sillcocks tried to claim that they aren’t anti-cop.
Sillcock told KGO reporter Dion Lim, “it doesn’t matter what you do, whether you’re a security guard of a policeman”— they don’t want any weapons.”
"?? ?? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??? ??????????."
I just spoke exclusively to one owner of Hilda & Jesse.

The restaurant added that that Hilda and Jesse is a “safe space.”

“It’s not about the fact that we are anti-police,” Sillcock told ABC7 News. “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.”
Well, that’s a load. She’s a leftist in San Francisco. Of COURSE she and her staff hate the police.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott took a shot (pardon the pun) at Sillcock and her anti-American restaurant.
“The San Francisco Police Department stands for safety with respect, even when it means respecting wishes that our officers and I find discouraging and personally disappointing,” Chief Scott said. “I believe the vast majority of San Franciscans welcome their police officers, who deserve to know that they are appreciated for the difficult job we ask them to do – in their uniforms – to keep our neighborhoods and businesses safe.”
