I think he was very much justified. The police have a bad reputation, and he wanted to make sure his customers weren't uncomfortable or in any danger.
It's like kicking a "suspicious" looking guy out of a resturaunt, or any public establishment. He may not be a bad guy at all, but the owner is more concerned with the rest of his customers, their safety and their comfort, than one guy who looks like he could be there to stir up trouble.
Legally justified? Probably not, since the guy was doing no harm.
Justified in the sense that he wants to protect his customers? I would think so.
