Now the joke's on him. He tried to explain it was a joke to them?That's not what the officers said.

[Responsibility2nd]

In his 50’s? Flipping burgers for 9 years?

Something ain’t all there with that boy.

[txrefugee]

The bozo should know that you don’t joke about refusing service to anyone or about a bomb at an airport. Everyone should know the rules by now.

[T-Bone Texan]

His “joke” was funny likee cancer is funny, and his post-termination excuses are weak sauce.

[Wilderness Conservative]

He’s a friggen liar on top of a POS.

All these comedians working fast food lately..what's up with that??

[raccoonradio]

Some stories said he was a manager there!

[mykroar]

who said he has received death threats

Proof or it didn't happen.

[Right Brother]

'Look man, it was just a joke, And I apologize if y'all took it the wrong way

From this statement, I now know why they only show a pic of the officer in the article.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Well, looks like he just learned that some jokes can get you fired.

[MrB]

I’m pretty sure everyone understands what went on here.
Some grievance class employee got wrapped up in the anti-police propaganda and wanted to assert his “power” over “the man”.

[elcid1970]

Lying b@stard! Or was he practicing `taqqiyah’?

Probably now expects Al Sharpton to surround that Whataburger with #blacklivesmatter protesters.

[Gamecock]

Look man, it was just a joke, And I apologize if y'all took it the wrong way

A non-apology. Says nothing but "You don't have no senses of humor. I dindo nuffin!"

[I want the USA back]

If a joke, then you tell the officers it’s a joke before they turn around and leave.
Typical minority lying, after all they’re a protected class and can do no wrong.

In his 50’s? Flipping burgers for 9 years?

When H-1Bs take over the jobs in your industry, flipping burgers still beats welfare...

[servo1969]

For his next act he should go to an airport and joke about explosive devices. See how that works out for him.

[raccoonradio]

So far I have yet to find the employee’s name anywhere. Maybe people made vague death threats on twitter or something but how can he claim having got them if his name has still not yet been released...threats to him specifically?

[Last Dakotan]

Am I the only one who pictures this guy with gray hair, bald on top, with a ponytail?

[newfreep]

No name of ex-employee.
No photo of ex-employee.

What are the odds he’s a BLM/anti-cop enthusiast?

[George from New England]

I can see a standing joke ...

Two counter order takers and one always says I don’t serve officers and the adjacent clerk always takes the order.

Then a newbie cop stops in and blows it to kingdom come. Or maybe the other clerk is different.

This is much ado about nothing. And the unionized win, the peon loses it all.
