Let's be reasonable, it's not like he was shooting someone's dog in their backyard. /s
When a cop is required to be on duty, even through a meal, it is reasonable to allow some discretion on where they stop to pick up their food. Stuck in line in the drive-through means they can't respond until everyone gets out of the way. About all I might suggest is to leave a light flashing to indicate he'll be right back.
A well fed cop is a happier cop, need I say more?
Most of the cops I see can afford to miss a few meals if ya know what I mean.
They’ve already been well-fed. Excessively so.
