The Next Time You Need a Cop, Call a ...

The stories are increasing in number –a Dunkin’ Donuts employee in Hartford, CT;an Arby’s in Pembroke Pines, FL; Chuck E. Cheese in Bowling Green, KY; Whataburger in Lewisville, TX; Starbucks in Philadelphia* and now at a Taco Bell in Phenix City, AL.** More and more fast food workers seem to be refusing to serve law enforcement officers.

Really? So, these young punks think they’re really making some kind of social statement by refusing service to those sworn and protect…. All this in the wake of that divisive, rabble rousing “Black Lives Matter” movement. (NOTE: Who the hell ever said they didn’t matter? But, one more time let me tell you that ALL lives matter! And…isn’t it interesting that in most every case at issue the black perp who got shot that started all this hysteria was involved in some kind of criminal activity right before dying at the hands of law enforcement? Coincidence? I think not. There's wisdom in the old saying that "if ya lie down wtih dogs ya get up with fleas." But, hell; why should facts and logic get in the way of mob psychology?)

So now these young fast food punks think that not only should they make a career type wage flipping burgers but now they also think they have the right to be rude and refuse to serve cops in uniform.

So, to those know-it-all punks refusing to serve cops because of their self-righteous indignation at law enforcement I say this; the next time your restaurant gets robbed or you wake up to the sounds of a burglar in your house or apartment or the next time you get carjacked, skip calling your local police or sheriff dept. Instead, whip out your cell phone and call your local Black Lives Matter activist. 

Maybe they’ll “protect and serve” you faster, better and more selflessly than your average law enforcement officer would.

I doubt they would. And something tells me that despite your looking down your nose at cops in your fast food restauratnt, you’ll still faster call a cop or sheriff and expect more protection and service from them than you will your local rabble rouser.
