Joy-Ann Reid did not pull any punches as a police officer made a video complaining at a fast-food window. Reid gave the proper perspective.
Police Officer looking for sympathy, what about …
A viral video shows a cop breaking down in tears, after a long wait at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Georgia made her “too nervous” to accept her breakfast order. The officer named Stacey, who identified herself as a 15-year veteran of the force, filmed herself becoming emotional after she says she experienced delays in picking up a mobile order for a McMuffin, hashbrowns and coffee at a McDonald’s in Richmond Hill, just outside Savannah.
“I hadn’t eaten in a while so I was kind of hungry,” said the teary-eyed cop in the video circulated on Twitter. “So I’m still waiting and I’m still waiting.” After a lengthy wait at the window, Stacey says, she was told to “pull up” because her food still wasn’t ready. One of the employees then came out — but with only her coffee.
“I said, ‘Don’t bother with the food because right now I’m too nervous to take it,’” the cop said. “It doesn’t matter how many hours I’ve been up. It doesn’t matter what I’ve done for anyone. Right now I’m too nervous to take a meal from McDonald’s because I can’t see it being made.”
Stacey then called on people to give cops a “break” as law enforcement faces scrutiny across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody. “I don’t know what’s going on with people nowadays, but please, just give us a break. Please just give us a break,” she said. “I don’t know how much more I can take.” The video has racked up more than 3 million views on Twitter, with some users expressing outrage over her treatment.

Thank you Egberto for another excellent message. Joy-Ann Reid’s commentary was right on. I especially appreciate her comparison and contrast of Rayshard Brook’s arrest and Dylann Roof’s.
Scared Karen, a message from a man who was called upon to literally scare terrorists, not ever, hopefully patrol US city streets.
You are a fucking coward, one of the most craven individuals entrusted with the right to carry a firearm and police our national, city, county and community streets. You’ve been poisoned by the “war on drugs” nonsense and willfully accepted that, despite acceptance by your community.
You’ve committed the worst possible response, while patrolling and a bit after, rejected the very community that you claim to protect!
How do you think that works here, within the community?
My former occupation was, literally, to terrorize terrorists. Want my view?
You’re a primary threat. Period, end of story. Any threatening action on your behalf would leave your brainstem departing your body.
I really loathe that response, but literal life within our own homeland reinforced that far too much~
I want peace and quiet. Period, full stop. Help out neighbors when shit happens, get helped out as well, end of story.
No, I retire and find the Constitution I swore to uphold is was and remains wiped on the ass of an scofflaw and worse, our own military, which I lead was abused to attempt to overrule our own very first amendment.
Child and you, like our own children can’t outshoot me, outthink me or outargue me. Our children learned that long ago.
A fine argument is excellent, violence is, in a political situation, utterly unacceptable.
You failed in claiming fear, within the community you patrol, over a mere fucking drink.
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, motherfuckingover?!
And look me up on JWICS, me vs you and your peers, at a minimum, I’d drop six of you if you escalated, rather than talk.
Our credo was talk first if you can, then escalate.
Police today, rarely deescalate, save for my own community, based upon our own personal experiences and we’re white, per US stupidity.
In person, I’m overall judged a nice guy, war zone or here.
No, I try my best to be a nice guy. Outside of that, see Rambo? That’s a pale imitation and still, I obey my oath to protect you and ensure the Constitution remains enforced.
Given conditions today, I’m thankful that my two Republican parents died a while ago, this shit’d really piss them off.
Dad was a USMC boxer, Mom, a projects bitch from hell, damn I miss her!
I’m worse, the monster you all raised, now retired but my mind works and I can take down far too many than most find comfortable, all while using a cane.
We either have or do not have a fucking Constitution.
Full stop.
Now, should I be allowed to play with grandkids or release precisely how how perfected fourth to fifth stage thermonuclear weapons?
Or can we live in peace and quiet, with all “races” being treated properly Constitutionally?
At the end of the day, all want to get to go home.
Idiots try to tool us as weapons.
I’m a tool, alas for them, I’m a funghulla or something. 😉
