Intentionally eating something that tastes bad/wrong seems to go completely against human nature, so I’ll side with the cop on this one.
This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. Why the HELL would you side with some dumb ass that kept eating something that “tastes bad/wrong.”
My point was that if it was just salt, as the employee claimed, then it would have been tasted immediately and likely spit out. If the cop, or anyone, tasted something that was immediately bad/wrong/suspicious it is just human nature to immediately spit it out/stop eating.
The article didnt state that the officer found the burger immediately suspicious but kept eating anyway, which is what the employee, and you, is implying. So I’ll side with the cop on this one, assuming he is not a suicidal, masochistic idiot, which is what youd have to assume to think he would just keep eating something that was obviously tainted.[/quote]
That is why I go the opposite direction. If it was too salty he would have tasted it so we can probably rule tha out.
If he suspected it was tampered with in some other way they should analyze the remains of the burger, determine if she poisoned it and then arrest her if she did.
To arrest her without first investigating seems ridiculous.
The cop starts eating the burger and soon after starts feeling ill. He doesnt know why, but is suspicious that the burger has been tampered with.
He goes into the restaurant to question the cook and learns that yes something was put in the burger, but not what he tasted (since salt would have been immediately detectable). Since he doesnt go around intentionally seeking to poison himself he would have stopped immediately if it simply tasted too salty.
The cop starts eating the burger and exclaims after the first bite: shit! this is too salty!!! He keeps on eating, exclaiming with every bite: oh! Im going to be sick!!! He then goes back into the restuarant to make the arrest.

Ok we finally have the police department’s side of the story. The video will tell all when it becomes available.
Well I’ll be gawddamnnedgotohell, the official police report adds NOTHING to what we thought we already knew about the case.
Maybe the video will unearth some “exciting new and incriminating evidence” that will justify the arrest and incarceration of this girl. But so far, “the simple facts, Ma’am” [said in my best Joe Friday/Dragnet voice] are that a girl oversalted a fast food hamburger and spent the night in jail as a result.
SO STILL, SO FAR, and AS OF NOW, we have a cop grossly overreacting within the confines of his legal authority (wink, wink) but nonetheless abusing his power (no wink, no wink).[/quote]
Ok push you need to look at the report a little more closely. The report indicates that salt was poured all over the meat, all over the tomato, all over the lettuce, and all over the bun. How is that an accident? I’ve never worked at mcdonalds but I thought salt and pepper were applied while the burger was cooking. The report that an excessive amount of salt was on every layer of the burger would have to be intentional. Didn’t the suspect say somewhere that the salt was spilled into the batch of meat being prepared and she ate one of the same batch and didn’t get sick. That doesn’t jive with the facts of the report. The officer who got sick wasn’t the officer who made the arrest. A lieutenant was also involved so Im sure that the case had merit as he would have approved the arrest.

How dumb do you have to be to take more than one bite of a burger that’s been ABSOLUTELY SATURATED with salt?
The cop should be fired for being a complete fucking idiot. We don’t need cops that incredibly stupid running around.
The McDonald’s employee should be fired (not arrested, that’s ridiculous over-kill for the situation) for knowingly making disgusting inedible food (lets face it, she did it for kicks).
You’re above posted website address is about an officer shot.
This thread is about an officer salted.[/quote]
Honestly, your criticism has been grounded and fair. I just wanted to remind a few of the other cats posting immature, cunt shit on here of another reality of the police profession.
Their computers haven’t been stolen from them and they sit safely in their homes or offices because of the guys who strap on body armor to go to work every day.
Well if it helps, I’m a Rent-A-Cop and I risk my ass at work too whenever I respond to an intruder alarm.
I’m just looking at the lighter side of the situation because it’s really something petty, the whole gross issue of loogies and salt in burgers. As long as nobody is seriously poisoned, that’s all.
That’s kinda off topic JD430, we’re not talking about serious shit here.
Food adulteration must be an issue that happens to cops pretty often, from what I’ve read of the report.
Seriously, if I were a cop and I found a huge oyster of a loogie sitting in my burger, I’d be inclined to arrest the punk who did it too.
But SALT is a different matter - it’s easy to detect and taste when there is too much of it on something. Any sane person would not eat something that tasted like it had extreme amounts of salt on it.
Whenever I find something wrong with a meal, I complain straight away and get it replaced, I don’t continue eating it to the point of getting sick.

Thats fine.
I just felt it was time for a little reminder. Don’t take it as anything more than that.

How mature was the cunt shit decision to arrest a McDonald’s employee for over salting a hamburger?

Hey, here’s another reality of the police profession…there are cunt shit cops out there abusing the fuck out of their position of authority. These dick-heads make the rest of the cops doing a good job look bad and shouldn’t be allowed to carry a gun and badge.
Push. It appears to me that you’re line of thinking is that what this girl did should not be against the law. That it should be ok to put things in people’s food (including yours), make them sick, and get away with it. What this girl did is a minor offense, a misdemeanor. If she would have put some thing more poisonous into the food then it would have been a felony.
