Sounds like the copper got pissed that she mouthed a bad word (not to him) and he could not use his nightstick on her. He got even madder when she was not fired. He could not abuse his own power, so he decided to take it up with corporate because the girl was still taking orders. How dare them!! That still did not work, so he took it to Facebook.
I suppose he's never uttered a bad word about anyone in his line of work.

EDT: I am pretty sure it was this part that did him in. What a quantum leap he made.

Man, cops are fricking pussies these days.

Scared of everything.

This quote makes it look like he is going with the "Officer Safety" line to justify his actions. Even the Supreme Court has gotten tired of police using this excuse every time they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. If this guy had posted this as an individual and not played up the whole thing as if he was saving other police I might, MIGHT have some more sympathy.

That quote killed it for me though.

I really hate that this officer thinks he has a right to not be offended and that he is trying to use his position as a government employee to hurt others because of something somebody said BUT if this was his first incident then I don't think he should have been fired. He should have gotten talked to and perhaps put on whatever the wort kind of duty is.

Hmmm...seems like a terrible reason to fire an officer, but it sounds like he was just suspicious of her. I dont think thats enough to fire the woman. He should just not go back to that McDonalds. She may have said uncalled for things.....but Im not sure how thats the worst thing thats ever been said to him....and it wasnt even technically said TO him.


Still seems like a bad reason to fire someone.

The Valluzos absolutely suck at management. Any restaurant they run is guaranteed to cut every last corner. Their fries are always undercooked and the sandwiches are sloppily made at best. It is an absolutely shite show of an organization.

I've gotten enough lousy service at their places to doubt this cop got special treatment.

It does seem pretty harsh for a 26 year veteran. IF he was in good standing with the department.

Does anyone know if McDonald's restaurants have audio recording with their surveillance cameras?

If there was audio and it proved the deputy lied to the Sheriff it could have warranted the firing. Otherwise it definitely seems to be a harsh punishment where a suspension or other form of discipline would suffice.

Sorry man. Being a fry cook isnt for everyone. Maybe it's time to move past it.

Anyone know the story behind the Valluzzo brothers running separate companies? Apparently the Central McDonald's is owned by Mc B.R. Management Company, Inc. (Chris Valluzzo).

Think about it this way.

The 8th grade teacher that teaches your child goes on Facebook or twitter or a blog and tells everyone how disrespectful they are in class. The teacher recounts a particular behavioral event that you know is linked to your child but your child's name is not revealed.

Do you think the teacher's 1st amendment rights are limited in this case? Or do you think their rights would have been limited had your child's name been revealed?


WTF?! How are these two even remotely similar? The cop wasn't doing anything related to his job. He was getting food. It would be like if your kids 8th grade teacher went to McDonalds on her lunch break, had a bad encounter with a worker and posted it on Facebook.

Baker's termination letter said his conduct was unbecoming and he allegedly lied to internal affairs in claiming that he did not use his work cell phone or work laptop to create the post.


quote:

Kiran: Where was the post posted from?
Baker: From my wife's computer at home.
Kiran: Why did your wife make this post?
Baker: Because I was at work.


So isn't there a way to tell where he posted from and thus prove if he lied about posting while at work? Was the act of lying (if proven to be a lie) worse than the post itself?

One day their dealings with BRAF and all the "free" property rentals BRAF gets that are paid for by the tax payers will come to light. IBM building, the water campus, etc.

I can easily believe him... They're indoctrinated with that bs against white cops.

Not saying that what he said is factual, but saying I could easily believe something like this could've happened.
