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.

Not sure if true, but read a while back (probably in regard to Obama’s Color Revolutions) many people love their nation’s military, but hate their police forces. It makes obvious common sense.

> You’re upset that people are mean? <

I see your point. But I would not use the word “mean” here. Instead I would use the word “unprofessional”.

Doctors, police officers, professors, etc. are well-trained and well-paid. In return they are expected to behave in a professional manner, always.

Do these people sometimes slip up? Sure, we all do. Nevertheless, they should then be called out for it, every time. No excuses. No explaining it away.

As I noted earlier, this Dallas incident is particularly disturbing because the cops are laughing at an ugly incident they themselves caused.

It’s one thing to laugh at someone tripping on a banana peel. Sick humor. It’s worse when the laughing person caused the man to fall in the first place. That’s beyond just sick humor.

The video shows two people in police costumes, one male and one female, laughing about something.

You can hear her saying, "You made him pee himself? hah" and later "he called back 911 and said he didn't need it anymore because he soiled..."

What kind of society even needs TWO police officers working private security at a pizza joint?

It’s becoming more and more difficult to support the police. And it’s almost all their fault.

I'm normally a back the blue 100% guy. This time? Nope. What they did is digraceful and those officers should be FIRED.

It goes back to Clinton’s promise to put 100,000 new officers on the street and the standards were lowered bigly then and have continued to be lowered ever since.

You're upset that people are mean? Is this video the first indication you've ever had that people aren't nice all the time? People are mean. People laugh at other people's expense. Doctors, lawyers, judges, cops, fireman, teachers, stock-brokers. They laugh at other people all the time. I've seen doctors laugh at people who pissed themselves in the ER. Are they terrible people?
YES

I've been out with friends who are teachers who laugh at their students misfortune. Are they awful?
YES

Do these rotten police have no grandmothers, mothers or wives?

If the place is not open, I am pretty sure they do not have an obligation to open the restaurant so he can use the restroom inside of it.

If the place wasn't open, why were they paying two cops (probably OT rate) to pull security? That doesn't seem like a very good business decision..?

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.


I used to work in a restaurant. There's no way you completely close the bathrooms while you have any customers still in the restaurant. Clean them, sure, but you don't lock them up. Pretty sure Texas has laws about having bathroom facilities available at any place of public accommodation.

As for the documentation, the article says he claims he did have paperwork he showed the cops. So either someone's lying here, or they're playing stupid games where he did show the cops, but they aren't actual employees of the restaurant, so he "didn't" show staff any documentation..

You just never leave your house if the visual of a person laughing at someone else makes you crumble like a cookie.

In uniform?

I'm not sure how it works in TX, but when I lived in AL, cops could do off-duty extra jobs in uniform.

I never said that, but people think it is acceptable to laugh at people in this situation are simply scum.

Everyone has a right to be scum, and I certainly would never deny a person’s right to assert their scumness.

It makes it easier to avoid them.
