More on the Arby’s story [and it’s Obama’s fault and our problem].
“........Davenport’s grandfather believes the episode is being blown out of proportion. He said that he and his grandson, whom he raised, have respect for the police. He believes the whole thing is centered on a dumb joke gone awry.
“Officers lives matter,” he said. “Everybody’s life matters. Somebody made a joke and she just didn’t take it the right way. She didn’t think they were joking. She thought it was a serious matter. Now their job as an officer is very serious and I appreciate all that they do.”
Kenny Davenport maintains that neither he nor anyone else disrespected Sergeant Martin but he sees little use in explaining himself.
“There’s no point in talking,” he said. “I’m 19. She’s an officer and I’m colored.”

Sounds like the manager has issues too. The kid pretty much blamed him/her for the “joke.”
