Four Pennsylvania police officers showed their true colors when a couple refused to sit next to them in a local restaurant – in the wake of the racially-charged police shootings in Dallas, Louisiana and Minnesota.

The good-natured officers, who were having dinner at their favorite spot — Eat n’ Park in Homestead, PA – paid the couple’s bill and left a $10 tip to show they were not offended.

“Showing that just because you don’t like somebody doesn’t mean you can’t be kind to them,” one of the four officers, Homestead Police Sgt. John Kaschauer, told CBS News.

Kaschauer and his three fellow cops were sitting in a booth waiting for their food orders last Friday night when the not-so-pleasant couple walked inside the restaurant.

“I heard talk, and I happened to glance over, and there was a couple that was coming into the restaurant, and they decided that they didn’t want to sit with us, and they made it very adamant,” Kaschauer told CBS.

“They looked over, and they said, ‘We don’t want to sit here,'” said waitress Louann Davis. “You could tell that they were looking at the police, and so they moved them to another section.”

Kaschaeur was surprised by the slight, but didn’t let that stop him and the other officers from doing their duty.

The officers sent the couple’s check to them with a message that stated, “Sir, your check was paid for by the police officers that you didn’t want to sit next to. Thank you for your support. I left a $10 tip, too.”

Kaschauer added, “Not all cops are bad, not all people are bad.”
