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
  the doors had been locked by staff inside who were concerned for their safety, having previously dealt with police who they had found to be intimidating.
- 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.
  
  Fuck with a man's burger and you get consequences.
- ohhh this is an old story. I was like wtf it happened again????
- That's disheartening.

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

"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
- That look like spit to you?

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

OP, this story is two months old.
- And the incident happened a year and a half ago.
- But the story is timeless.
  
  I dont want a Large Farva

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