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 thought that was going to say

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

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.

Fuck with a man's burger and you get consequences.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Mustard Tiger!

Not sure if you're just referencing whatever this image is from but if you're serious, the answer is alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I meant the question literally. I know a lot of alcoholics, and none of them look like that. Is it from swollen organs?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I realized I didn't actually know so I just looked into it and apparently it's a lot of things. But the gist of it is that alcohol abuse fucks up your intestines which leads to bloating. Also alcohol has a lot of calories

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the information.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Alcoholism.

My grandfather looked very similar.

You sure yer gramps wasn't driving cheeseburgers down his gullet? Nothin' goes better with beer than a couple of dirty burgers with cheese. Baaaaam!

[-] aaaa@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I imagine the dirty poutine combo was part of it

[-] kittehx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 months ago

ohhh this is an old story. I was like wtf it happened again????

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

That's disheartening.

[-] corroded@lemmy.world 50 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

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?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"me get wrong thing"
"sorry here two correct thing"
"splendid"

[-] JTskulk@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

"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!

These people need to be stripped of power and banned from holding office for the rest of their lives

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

OP, this story is two months old.

[-] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

And the incident happened a year and a half ago.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 6 months ago

But the story is timeless.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago

I dont want a Large Farva

[-] badbytes@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

If I were a cop, I wouldn't eat out, at least in uniform. Disgruntled citizens gonna put on their own special sauce.
