A Kansas police chief who called out a local McDonald's -- after one of his officers claimed he was served a cup of coffee with a vulgar and insulting message attached -- said Monday the officer has resigned after fabricating the incident.
Herington Police Chief Brian Hornaday confirmed the unnamed officer made up the story about being given a coffee cup with "F-----g pig" written on it. The incident caused a stir on social media over the weekend and resulted in criticism of the fast-food giant.
"This was completely and solely fabricated by a Herington police officer who is no longer with our agency," Hornaday said during a Monday news conference. "Moving forward, the Herington Police Department will work tirelessly to regain to loss of trust with both McDonald's and with the citizens that we serve."
On Monday, the owner of the Junction City McDonald's denied his employees wrote the message. Dana Cook said video surveillance proved his workers committed no wrongdoing.
So true, but it was "the Boss" who chose to post it out there for all the world to see.
Yep - we don’t have his name - I wonder if it would tell us anything relevant.
That is rather odd.................
It’s amazing how they have scrubbed this ex police officer’s
name from any article to be found on the net.
If it doesn’t come out very soon, I will presume he is a leftist/minority/sleazeball - if he was a “right winger”, we would probably already know his bio.
Hornaday did not release the name of the officer but said
he might at a later time. He said the officer claimed the
incident was meant to be a joke.
*********
Well the joke backfired as it should have.
Does he have a name, an ID?
McDonalds should sue the Chief too.
Pathetic.
I’m not sure why you’d call a guy like this “our side”.
Make me wonder what side you think you are on
I wonder for how many cases, how many traffic stops, has he “fabricated” evidence?
Police Chief Brian Hornaday should blame himself. He’s the one who posted the story and pictures on Facebook accuse the other City and McDonald’s. And hehad his daughter try to make it go viral without any investigation. I think that is why we don’t hear the cop’s name. Chief Hornaday is more to blame.
As a rule the right is generally supportive of law enforcement.and normally stand behind them until proven otherwise.
“Our side” and police particularly are the side generally on the receiving end of this kinda crap. In this particular case not. A rare exception to the rule.
Clear?
McDonalds should sue the Chief too.
***********
Well wasn’t it the chief who posted the photo on the net?
...The incident received national attention after Hornaday posted
a picture of the message and cup on Facebook....

Good point. The police chief showed bad judgment and should apologize for publicly blaming the restaurant without an investigation.
At the cost of his job and his career. Bad trade.
Dr. Clarissa Cole on After Hours AM April 17, 2019Hiring a disqualified person into a police department is no safer than throwing an enraged rattlesnake into a kindergarten.(Start at 1:18:31)
Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!
Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?
Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.
He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.
Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…
Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.
Eric Olsen: Sure.
Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?
Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.
Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.
Eric Olsen: What?
Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.
Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?
Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways
Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?
Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.
And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…
Eric Olsen: What would cause one…
Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not
Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.
Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.
Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?
Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.
Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.
Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.
Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...
Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

I know a person just like the one described here in this story.
Area Lar Enforcement knows him too, they will not touch him as far as hiring him goes, he’s a complete psychopath, and he goes around dressing and looking like a cop, and has been arrested twice that I know of for impersonating.
I’m convinced that he is a serial killer. Not even joking.
My side is the side that keeps a close eye on government.
