A group of Dallas Police were asked to leave the Genghis Grill on Greenville around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Several reports say that an employee told the officers that their presence could frighten the other customers. According to WFAA’s report, “The officers left without being seated, and word began to quickly spread.”

The chain restaurant took to Facebook yesterday evening to apologize for the incident and announce that the employee that had refused service to officers has been fired.
