Disgusting: Dallas Police Officers Laugh at Disabled Military Veteran in Distress
Gateway Pundit ^ | Aug. 26, 2023 | Margaret Flavin

US Army vet Dynell Lane needed to use the bathroom at Serious Pizza in Dallas, Texas in the early morning hours of June 10. But two off-duty police officers, working security at the establishment, refused to let him.

According to The Dallas Morning news, “Many states — including Texas — have a restroom access law known as ‘Ally’s Law,’ which states people lawfully on the premises of an establishment should be allowed access to a restroom if they provide evidence they have a medical condition that requires immediate access to a toilet facility.”

Lane provided the officers with medical paperwork documenting his medical issues resulting from his deployment in the Middle East, yet still they refused. Lane then called 911 but officers did not arrive in time to mediate the situation and the wounded veteran wet himself.

This awful moment for a disabled military veteran left responding officers laughing and mocking the veteran in a disturbing interaction caught on video.

Apparently, these LEOs are too stupid to realize a person can't sneeze in public without being on someone's video cam these days. They shouldn't have access to firearms. They are worse than incompetent; they are stupid.

Thuggish morons who have been given a badge, uniform and arms. What is so funny about a disabled man who soiled himself because he could not get to a bathroom like he was supposed to?!

Good thing they have pictures/video of these monkeys so that all their friends and relatives can see what kind of dimwits they are.

The police are the standing army our forefathers warned us about.

Officers of this type will not hesitate to use deadly force on non-violent MAGA demonstrators when ordered to do so.

So, was it open? If it was not open, how was he "on the premises"?

Leave it to Griftway Pundit to only post half the story.

But according to the article, the Dallas police have already investigated themselves here, and found they did nothing wrong

I heard on another news clip that they tried to sweep it under the rug like they usually do, but this one refuses to go under the rug. There are more investigations after the PD cleared the cops.

Dallas PD... wasn’t it one of their female cops who knocked on the door of one of her neighbors and then shot him dead? This happened not too long ago. I think they tried to sweep that under the rug too.

I’m glad the police investigated themselves and determined that it’s okay to humiliate disabled veterans of our armed services.

Let’s Go Dallas PD!

“We settled that question at Nuremberg.”

Sadly we did not or it wouldn’t keep coming up like it did in Lahaina where the mindless Order Followers murdered 1,000 men, women, and children.

Agreed. I have no issue with the cops refusing entry if the disabled vet had been outside. Then it becomes a judgment call.

I have a HUGE issue with them thinking it was so damn funny, to see someone humiliated and in distress. All because of their inaction.

That’s a sure sign of someone who is mentally unstable.

Police tend to develop a very dark sense of humor.

Not saying it is "good" it just is. They have to deal with terrible situations on a regular basis.

Lawsuit time again. It seems that is the only language the left understands.

Since the cops were not on duty, and were not acting in official capacity, this should go directly to their pockets. No qualified immunity. Start with filing an ADA complaint,
Local DAV should organize a protest outside the store.

Here is the veteran in question. Seems like a nice young man. And he was out partying at 2am. Good for him. But I'm not sure his overwhelming need to use the restroom was due to injuries sustained during deployment. He was most likely very drunk.

I saw a video on youtube the other day. It was a police bodycam of a cop who pulled a guy over for flashing his lights to warn drivers of the speed trap.

The cop admitted that doing so is not illegal, but turning on your bright lights at traffic is illegal, or something stupid like that. He then called that probable cause for a search.

The driver rightfully refused and was forcibly removed from his car.

The cop seemed like an idiot and mad cause he got his little feelings hurt. I can’t believe he posted that online though.

Kinda like the Maryland Troop thug who pulled me over for not changing lanes when he was on the side of the road. He failed to notice that I was doing about 20 in a 55 and that there was a car next to me.

I was so looking forward to the court date but he didn’t write me up. Bummer.

I checked out the time of the incident: 2 a.m. on Saturday. The restaurant was open.

Looks like he has a legitimate complaint.

I see 3 cops who should be unemployed.

I see three cops on a power trip that should be unemployed and ridiculed in public. I have cop friends that are veterans. They would never do this! It is Dallas PD a hotbed of liberal think.

I spent some time (not much) working as an EMT. I saw that dark humor, both in the field and in the emergency room. It’s a way to release some steam, I guess. But I’ve got to say this. I’ve never seen a professional laugh at a terrible incident that they themselves caused.

I’m sure it happens. But then I wouldn’t call those folks professionals. I’d call them monsters.

They probably wanted him to go in public so they. could arrest him for public indecency. They are just evil Luciferian devils.

Serious Pizza released a statement to local news outlet WFAA about the incident. They told the station that employees are conditioned to close their bathrooms to the public as they begin closing up shop for the night.

However, they also said that “none of the employees were presented any documentation indictating that Mr. Lane was disabled” and are “disheartened” to not have the opportunity to resolve the situation as it was happening.
