Why does this article leave out that this happened March of 2023…more than a year ago. They just got the footage last week. That still seems like an important detail.

Edit: added link to another article.

Another job well done by sheriff Karen

So… the sheriff’s decided he didn’t want to call burger King corporate to file a business complaint… but instead call for backup so that city employees could find the phone number for him? He should have to pay a fine for this.

When deputies first arrived at the scene, they realized the restaurant’s doors were locked, despite employees still being inside. The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

Oh no, the customers might resort to talking! Quick! Lock the doors!

I always imagined that Cartman was an elementary school kid, perhaps not

next time a cop almost takes me out running a red light, I’m going to assume he’s heading for a burger

what was the problem with the burger? did he get everything else on it but “not the onion”?

Ramirez! Secure the burger town!!!

Aye sir! [automatic weapons fire]

The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies, and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

Good lord… Talking. How could they?

“I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community,” Sheriff Owens said. “At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”

That’s disingenuous. The 911 operator, who works for the police department, obviously knows the name of the sheriff. Any police department flags calls from police officers, including non-emergency calls. The sheriff should have known better than to waste public resources to strongarm a business when he could have simply emailed a complaint to corporate.

See? This is why trump is so close.

A joke of a country. That’s what it is.

many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking

Oh shit, TALKING?! That’s going too far!

“But I ordered theonion rings! I need backup here!”

“Chief Wiggum requesting backup. We have an attempted 10-52 here, I repeat 10-52. Attempted salad against a public safety officer. SEND EVERYONE!”

“At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”

What the fuck is even a “business dispute call”? The police are not supposed to be involved in “business disputes” at all. If he thinks his deputies are supposed to speed through city streets to placate some Karen at Burger King, then he’s beyond educating and should just be removed from his position.
