A joke?

Then, why did the officers end up eating at a Dairy Queen?

Why let the cops turn around and walk out if it was just a joke?

I believe the death threats he claims to have received were a joke.

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape;
You don’t spit into the wind;
You don’t pull the mask off the Lone Ranger;
And you don’t try some lame, crappy attempt at humor that embarasses and inconveniences an LEO in a public establishment. ((Unless he’s lying, and really deserves what he got).

Do we have a photo of the perp? I’m guessing he’s a BLM sychophant.

Must've REALLY been hard on the "former" employee. He's just a shadow of his former self...

"I can see a standing joke ..."

??? And people talk about the Brits and French having an strange sense of humor.

If it was a joke, you would have said it in a joking way from the start, laughed, and then say “I’m just pulling your leg. Always glad to see you guys!”.

Notice they won’t mention his ethnicity? I think that would undermine his story that he was joking...

That's not what the officers said.

Which means there’s a 50-50 chance that it did happen as the ex-employee describes it.

I got that impression the first time I read this story and then I saw his photo. Bless his heart. That just might be the only job he was qualified to do or the only job he could find

My mind is on my surgery. Do not think it was a picture of him I saw on FB.

Non wonder he was fired, nobody in the food industry would want to offend an obese customer with three chins, he would probably have doubled their food sales for the day.

I am uncomfortable with the snobbism of the left regarding employment. All honest work is noble, and not every human has the abilities needed to be a computer whiz or a writer or a lawyer.

I am inclined to believe your scenario, but I am troubled by this quote given by the LEO:

“We don’t serve police officers,”....

***
Perhaps the marshal is just rephrasing, but I can’t imagine that a police hater is going to use the words “police officers”. Seems like it would be more like “@#%& pigs”.

Indeed. And not every human has the ability to not say something so stupid that would get him fired from his burger flipping job.

“And not every human has the ability to not say something so stupid that would get him fired from his burger flipping job.”

Which has nothing to do with your post #2.

“In his 50’s? Flipping burgers for 9 years? Something ain’t all there with that boy.”

Apparently what’s not there is good judgement.

It was a joke because he got caught.
