Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.

Pocket Ninja		2009-07-21 12:11:30 PM

*cracks knuckles*

So, a police officer, highly trained in firearm use and safety, snaps in a random moment of tension and uses his firearm in an irresponsible manner? This must mean that more people should be allowed to carry firearms all the time.

Wanted for questioning.

AirForceVet		2009-07-21 12:26:56 PM

Are we certain this didn't occur at a Dunkin' Donuts?

Howard Finkelstein		2009-07-21 12:30:16 PM

Also noted from the article - he was a black man.....making racist hateful comments?

I thought only white police officers did that sort of thing!

I didn't even know they made a litre of coffee.

Oh, and you're pure antisocial evil. I bow to you, master. Please teach me.

and the really crazy thing is that he did it on a thursday. talk about a damn bad monday!

NikolaiFarkoff		2009-07-21 12:45:44 PM

Got a problem with it, talking to Mayor Mcfarking Cheese!

drew46n2		2009-07-21 12:48:04 PM

he probably heard the clerk tell the staff "it's for a cop..."

epyonyx		2009-07-21 12:54:10 PM

Pocket Ninja, I find your lack of expanded post disturbing. I was awaiting a grandoise post that would leave all farkers in awe of your mastery of the conversational arts.

On the other hand, short and sweet works too.

karmaceutical		2009-07-21 12:54:31 PM

ewwww... airport cops.

7 posts to get to Farva!? Are you farking kidding me? Falling Down and Police Academy show up before the most recent and obvious cliche?

I too am disapointed and leaving this thread never to return

Its a good time to make those budget cuts. Starting with him.

tbyte		2009-07-21 12:57:13 PM

Well, at least they put him on paid vacation rather than jail. I mean, any non-cop citizen who pulled a gun at a McDonald's would be on paid vacation right now, right?

/heads off to McDonald's

Yes, the more guns everyone has, the safer we all are.

The NRA says so, and I don't see any reason they would lie.

T-Luv		2009-07-21 12:59:12 PM

Jeez can't they take a joke?

mrtk421		2009-07-21 12:59:20 PM

This is the kind of stuff that makes me not like the police. A certain type of personality is drawn to that line of work and there are a lot of these types of individuals in authority roles.

/yes, i know, not all cops are bad

I was as shocked as anyone else that I was permitted the Farva privilege.

PsyLord		2009-07-21 01:00:05 PM

A Falling Down and Super Trooper post... well, guess I have nothing to contribute.

bighairyguy		2009-07-21 01:00:07 PM

Admit it, you've all wanted to do that.

Airfoilsguy		2009-07-21 01:00:43 PM

This just goes to show that all cops are assholes. The police should be eliminated. This one incedent proves it.

/Lets just get that troll over with.

pintsmasher		2009-07-21 01:00:58 PM

Cops do this all the time, therefore I cannot stand pigs.

yes well , you see cops "know better" than civilians, they "understand better " these things you see. they know when to give someone a break, all they have to do is look for the Badge.

ihatedumbpeople		2009-07-21 01:01:59 PM

Well, one less idiot that doesn't need a badge.

Came for Super Troopers, left happy.

/Script for Super Troopers 2 is almost done btw.

bongmiester		2009-07-21 01:03:17 PM

He is also banned from all maternity wards.

Morton_toes		2009-07-21 01:04:51 PM

And they wonder why folks spit on their burgers...

Billy Ligue		2009-07-21 01:04:56 PM

Where's my farking coffee, biatch?

Also FTFA: His booking photograph was not available from Aurora police Monday. of farking, course... the blue wall closes... if this was anytone else (i.e., not a cop), they'd have published his booking photo

dragon927		2009-07-21 01:05:14 PM

Usually you want to pull your gun after you eat there.

Slartibartfaster		2009-07-21 01:05:20 PM

Airfoilsguy: The police should be eliminated

not eliminated (we need those guys)
perhaps we could set up a system with checks and balances for power, establish a document to define our rights, and set up a formal agreement between we the people and the government...

then we could... you know.... follow it

because good is dumb		2009-07-21 01:05:46 PM

Hey those big breakfast deluxe can be quite addicting. I mean its got everything you want in a breakfast! Or perhaps he was just rushing to get in his order before 11 am when they start serving lunch.

cksewell		2009-07-21 01:06:31 PM

sirgrim		2009-07-21 01:06:48 PM

Why not? Smoking Gun needs on this. If they can get every other schlub, this one needs out too.

This is right by where I'm looking at houses today. Neato.

TrixieDelite		2009-07-21 01:07:12 PM

Cops and coffee make me think of this video. (new window) Very much so totally not safe for work (unless you have earphones), but funny as hell.

Harry Freakstorm		2009-07-21 01:07:19 PM

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Saunders has been suspended with pay during the investigation, but he would be put on unpaid leave once the department is formally notified of the charges.

Followup: Denver police say they never got the charges from the DA. Cop goes back to work.

Followup: Citing due process, a Denver judge has thrown out the case against the Denver cop who pulled his gun on a McDonald's employee. "I hate to do this, but I have to follow the letter of the law and let him go" said the judge.

Followup: Former McDonalds worker arrested for drug possession. She had tried to sue the Denver Police Department for intimidation and harassment.

Followup: Former McDonalds employee sentenced to 12 years on drug possession. "We need to send a strong message to the streets that crime will not be tolerated."

mrtk421: /yes, i know, not all cops are bad

No, all cops are bad. Some are actively bad, assaulting citizens like in the thread yesterday, pulling out a gun because their hash browns are coming out too slow. Others merely cover it up, ask for videotapes to be destroyed, and lose booking photos. There are no good cops, because every cop knows a bad one and yet does nothing about it.
It's like the Catholic church. They're all either pederasts or covering for pederasts.

HAMMERTOE		2009-07-21 01:09:56 PM

Pocket Ninja: So, a police officer, highly trained in ~~firearm use and safety~~ bullying, double-standards, and their immunity from the laws that are supposed to govern ALL, snaps in a random moment of tension and uses his firearm in an irresponsible manner? This must mean that more people should be allowed to carry firearms all the time to protect themselves from such professional thugs.

Spot on.

One Thirty-two and Bush		2009-07-21 01:11:02 PM

He should have threatened to spill the coffee on himself. McDonalds would have hurried to avoid another frivolous lawsuit.

genzoman		2009-07-21 01:11:21 PM

i love how the weakest people in real life (fark trollers, internetters in general) always have the biggest mouths when it comes to arguments.

/don't reply internet tough guys, i won't be back to see it.

But but, CruiserTwelve says those are just isolated incidents perpetuated by the media! Good cops are everywhere. Most are just busy covering for the few bad ones!
