The incidents in the examples happened during certain criminal situations; officer-suspect confrontations. Unless a criminal situation had the potential of unfolding in the café, the customers shouldn't have had anything to worry about. And if it did, that would have justified him being there in the first place.

The collective concern should be of the officers' use of their firearms at crime scenes, not of their general possession of firearms, which is what this officer was kick-out for. The reasoning behind it seems pretty absurd to me.
