You seem to be under the misimpression that the waiter is necessarily stupid and doesn't know why I'm running.
We can settle up once we're out of the line of fire, and the police have been notified.

Nothing of the kind. If you're running from a restaurant where there is no emergency or cause for alarm, the waiter would be perfectly justified in wondering what you're doing.
Why are you assuming vindictiveness and dishonesty on the part of the waiter?
You assume that the waiter will lie to the cops and claim that I'm a thief.
What would be his motivation to lie?

He would not be lying if he said you ran out of the restaurant for no reason and did not pay for your food. That would be the truth. It would be incumbent upon you to explain why you ran when there was no emergency. I assume you wouldn't be charged as long as you paid for your food, but the waiter would have done nothing wrong.

LBJ has a weird history, I find it fascinating, especially the civil rights.
