(1,041 posts)I have been sitting in many bars in my lifetime where the police have been called to remove someone.
In one instance a young man came in a simply waited until a man at the bar had to use the restroom and took his seat. He was asked to move and refused, he was asked to leave and refused. The bartender called the police. When the police showed up the man was quietly drinking a beer (stolen beer, he was refused service) and watching the TV. He was not drunk, was not being loud, and was just sitting there. The pair of officers spoke for a few seconds to the bartender, then moved over to the young man, everyone around him moved away. The police asked him to leave the bar, immediately. He did not, they arrested him and removed him, to applause.
They did not question him at all, they told him to leave - he refused - he was arrested. Simple. And ... correct.
