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.

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

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

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