Until other information comes out that says otherwise, my thought is that these guys came in - and not in a disruptive manner - and sat down. They were asked for an order for which they refused. They were probably told to either buy something or they need to leave. At hearing this, they probably made some snide comment which was probably taken by the employee(s) as attitude (or they responded with an attitude) at which point they were probably asked to leave. They probably thought this wasn't serious and continued to wait and instead of giving them another warning or two, the employee probably just called the police. 

Now, I could be wrong and the employee was a racist in the extreme or these guy scould've been extremely loud, obnoxious and disruptive from the moment they enetered, but what I posted makes the most sense to me.

That is an interesting theory, but I haven't seen anything from the two men or the videos or anywhere that suggests they would make a"snide comment" at all let alone one that could be taken the wrong way.

All we have is their words.  Until we hear otherwise everything else is simply guesswork.
