Footage posted online shows Georgia deputies responding to a call from the sheriff, who was unhappy with the restaurant’s service.
Officers then attempted to enter the establishment. However, the doors had been locked by staff inside who were concerned for their safety, having previously dealt with disgruntled customers who they had found to be intimidating.
Smart.
I didn’t realize that this wasn’t an onion article and thought it would go like
“Officers then attempted to enter the establishment. However, the doors had been locked by PULL-signs and could not be forcibly pushed open.”
After reading the article though, this seems like the cops are on that mental level. So yeah…
I remember this story. Unsurprisingly the guy also won reelection the next month.
That is actually surprising to me. I guess I’m still too hopeful that behavior matters to voters, and that negative actions have negative consequences.
You know what I do when a fast food restaurant gets my order wrong? I say “oh, that sucks,” and then I eat my food. Food service employees don’t get paid enough to deal with normal disgruntled customers, and especially not disgruntled law enforcement officers on a power trip.
I just ask for a refund, and if they don’t do it, I go straight to a chargeback on my credit card. This has only ever happened once, tbh. Hold the business accountable.
“Hey, I ordered the double with cheese, but this is a spicy chicken…”
“Oh whoops, sorry about that sir let’s try that again.”
Try this first maybe?
Yeah, and have them spit in it because they all hate customers, perhaps reasonably so, and will assume you’re going to do some vindictive shit like the cops did.
I’ll just take the refund.
“The sheriff […] says the incident is being politicized in an attempt to win votes in the upcoming local election…”
Well yeah no shit, he said that as if it’s a bad thing! If you don’t want your retarded abuses of powers to be politicized, don’t act like a retard while abusing your power!
ITS FOR A COP
