We're the Only Ones "I'm Not Lovin' It" Enough

A Denver police officer has been suspended after allegedly brandishing his gun at a McDonald's restaurant in Aurora after his order took too long to fill. [More]
Hey, at least he didn't mace the window worker.

Ah well, the food probably would have been too salty anyway.

Y'know, these minimum wage workers don't have a whole lot of incentive to put up with crap. Do abusive "Only Ones" not realize when they act like this, they increase the likelihood of themselves and their brethren being subjected to a bit of resentment-driven fast food activism?

One other thing about this story I found almost as disturbing as the allegation--that his partner didn't immediately arrest him.

No doubt just a few bad hot apple pies...

Almost nothing that the only ones do suprises me anymore, but they must recruit a lot of idiots and cowards in Colorado.

In the movie "The Dream Team," escaped psychopath Michael Keaton describes his outbursts of berserk violence as "low frustration tolerance."
Isn't Denver supposed to be an island of collectivist tranquillity in the ocean of good ol' American conservative chaos?
DIA was a scandal of contract bid-rigging and corruption from the beginning. There've been lots of bad incidents by TSA workers there. Nothing I hear from there surprises me.

The gun pulling officer needs to be charged with criminal assault with a firearm and sent to prison. The other officer who did not arrest this criminal though he witnessed the crime should be fired for dereliction of duty and should lose his law enforcement certification for life.

What will happen at most, is that Wyatt Earp will get a day or two off and be "retrained", the other officer will be found to have been within department guide lines.

Is it time yet, Claire Wolfe?
