WALTHAM, MASS. — An employee at an independently owned Verizon retailer has been fired after refusing service to an on-duty, uniformed Massachusetts police officer, Boston's WFXT reports.

Sources told WFXT that Waltham police Officer Dan Collins was refused service Tuesday at the Verizon store on Tower Road in Waltham.

The store is independently owned and operated by Cellular Sales.

Waltham police Detective Sgt. Timothy King said the company reached out to officer involved and apologized. The officer involved told the department he’s satisfied with the company’s response.

“As the matter has been resolved by the officer and the company, there will be no further comment at this time,” read a statement from King.

As disturbing this is, I love it! The masks are off and the enemy has been identified.

True because commies versus military,law enforcement & armed citizen is a one sided rout.

I could never be a cop; my first reaction would be to pull out the old taser and make the jerkwad flop around like a fish.

He spent too much time in the echo chamber. His foray into the real world cost him his job.

It’s a Marxist thing either because the employee IS Marxist …Or believes the Marxist lies. Either way you are correct. “Non compos mentis”.

I went to a Verizon store once and it was empty except for some sales people just standing around. Some guy at the entrance when I walked had this iPad looking thing and wanted all sorts of information (??) and I just walked past him to the first salesperson I saw. He followed after me saying he had to “schedule” me to meet a salesperson - like huh? Nobody’s here, why do I need an appointment? I just left.

I am sure that if the store was held up at gun point this idiot employee would be damned glad to see a cop enter the store.

These “activists” are usually cowards.

AT&T does something similar in our area when they are busy. But they only ask for your name. If they aren’t busy, you usually just enter your name yourself.

Why are the store employees not named? This story is not over. Show me an example of discrimination where the perpetrator goes un-named.

I am sure there would be a pretty interesting thread here about that if you were the cop and reacted that way. lol

There are reasons I was not a cop, teacher, school bus driver, ETC. I was raised to respect and when a stupid person or child acts like this I want to grab them and give them a real good shake, spanking, punch, something to get their attention...
