Officer Michael Holsworth was meeting family for his birthday lunch
An Olive Garden worker asked him to leave because guns are not allowed

Holsworth posted to Facebook a message saying that he showed up at the restaurant to celebrate his birthday with his family. He was on duty at the time, so he was dressed in his full uniform.
While he was waiting on a bench, one of the employees asked him to leave, saying guns were not allowed in the restaurant.

1. Good. More companies should take this stance.

2. Cops whining on Facebook. What a trend. They look like babies.

And just like babies you have to pacify them. CEOs personally apologizing, Facebook messages telling them how awfully they were treated & that nobody will ever eat at that restaurant ever again because they were so mean to the nice officer, a few thank you for your services, as if they were volunteers…

3. Well at least he got an apology out of this, hopefully the kid received training

on LEO's vs general open carriers.

4. "He was on duty at the time, so he was dressed in his full uniform."

A lesson in logic, and common sense would have made the Olive Garden apology unnecessary.

5. Your assuming too much for Olive Garden managers.

It's funny, but lets' think about it...Olive Garden. See?

8. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Let's make fun of people because of where they work.

Smh.

6. Good. Guns should not be allowed anywhere.

10. Well, we know he wasn't breastfeeding.

Did he have a pit bull? Was the gun smoking?
