That's a mall cop, not a police officer (no gun or body armor). ANd who is "they"? Books-a-Million? The strip mall's owners? C'mon folks pay attention to details.
Sure it does. If they are on private property, the property owner can ask for them to leave, regardless of what they are wearing or saying. This can be done via their hired security. It is not clear who gave the order for them to leave but it is clear to me the person asking them to leave works on the property. Given their final statement was to call the police, it appears they are taking the next step to have them trespassed. This would be different if they were on a public sidewalk.
