That literally didn't happen, at least according to your own link.
But Mr Davies has remained defiant he will not change the message despite being advised by police to reword it.
The article has all the elements of clickbait, hinting at police seriously overstepping their mark on the basis of a self reported anecdote by a shop owner about a supposed remark by an unnamed officer.There are more and more stories like this one where police on the beat are taking upon themselves to intimidate people only for the police force to backtrack when challenged. Granted, at this point the story is "self-reported" as you say but it is making noise because it isn't the first "anecdote" and many have been documented on film so it is very plausible.
