And while the restaurant was praised by Representative Pete Feltham of the Alexandria Police Union for its coordination and quick apology, the damage was already done when the restaurant rushed outside the restaurant to place banners trying to support police officers. Instead of intensifying the conflict, he disconnected and believed that Baker “handled the situation perfectly” However, he said he was shocked that an event like this occurred in Alexandria because the police force usually has a fantastic relationship with citizens and local businesses.

No Turning Back
None of the statements by Feltham did anything to pacify the anger of the citizens. Thousands of comments were left on the restaurant’s Facebook page, grumpily notifying them that they were beginning to be boycotted completely and encouraging other customers to do it too. There was even debate on social media among people regarding stealing from the restaurant after the incident. Baker decided to make his stance on this simple instead.
