AHahahahaha! I love it!
WEll, the article title is a bit off. They didn’t go to jail for cutting into line.
Yeah but it’s ok for cops to push the greeters.
Judging from the photos of Pluhars Jr and Sr, they probably didn’t expect anyone to seriously challenge them. Beefy guys, they are. Good for the officer. Too bad civility has gone out the window.
Headline is deceiving. I thought maybe a white Father and son aged maybe 40 and 10 accidently cut off 2 black women with Obama T-shirts on and got arrested for a hate crime.
BELIGERANT, ARROGANT, BULLYING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS JERKS
finally got called on it.
HALLELUJAH!
> Good for Officer Kirby, his good deed for the day!
Agreed. But what a pity it needed an off-duty cop to teach these two scroats manners.
Always the Lowest...IQs
Queue jumpers deserve nothing but the harshest measures in my view as an Englishman. In fact, if there was any justice, these men would then be taken from a lawful prison, to a place of execution were they shall be hanged by the neck until they are dead. Following which their remains shall be divided into quarters and hung in chains in queues all around the country, as a warning to others who would dare to commit this disgraceful crime....
I understand deceptive headlines, but I hate them anyway. They are necessary to make a nothing story something big. "Father and Son Threaten Man and are Booked and Quickly Released" would not be interesting at all.
Great job Officer Kirby.
Punk got PUNKED!
“...mind his own business ...”
“Sir, your attempt to take advantage of my good nature IS “my business”!
I’d have sized up my odds before determining whether to “detain” him, or call for back-up.
We need more stories like this.
People are too afraid to confront bullies nowadays.
Congrats Officer!
Someone buy that man a donut!
Idiot used the “S” word, he had it coming.
I actually did this once...
Some guy (looking like some tough, gangbanger wannabe saggy-pants punk) in a crowded grocery store cut 2 people ahead of where I was. Quite loudly, I called, “End of the line’s back there. Would ya mind not cutting and wait in line like all of the REST of us have been waiting?”
This alerted all in our line, the next lines and everyone within earshot to what was happening, and they all started saying the same thing to him (Strength in numbers).
Eventually, he left and didn’t purchase a thing.
Might’ve stolen something, though...
To bad we can’t depend on store clerks to do their job and send “cutters” back to the end of the line.
I could write a lengthy disclaimer of my appreciation for law enforcement. That said, I have a question...
Why is an off-duty cop given greater protection than a civilian? Example: If an off-duty cop gets into an altercation at a bar and the other guy either threatens or strikes the off-duty cop, why is it assulting an officer instead of simple assult or assult and battery? Is the off-duty cop in some perpetual state of protected status?
