Kansas’ Herington Police Chief Brian Hornaday said on Monday evening that one of his officers admitted he himself wrote “fucking pig” on his own McDonald’s cup, not a McDonald’s employee as he originally claimed on Saturday.
The unidentified officer said the incident was “meant to be a joke,” said Hornaday, who declined to name the officer “due to the matter being a personnel issue.”
Reminds me of the time I was called for jury duty. During voir dire, the prosecutor asked all potential jurors whether they would credit the word of the arresting police officer over the defendant (yes, that was the exact question), to which I replied “I don’t see why the officer should be regarded as more credible, there would need to be corroboration.” I was dismissed from the jury.
When the President of the United States lies repeatedly and without any shame and, when caught in inappropriate and compromising situations, calls it all “a joke,” this is what we get.
The real story is that a rookie cop texted the chief the photo as a joke. And the chief immediately posted it on Facebook saying it was a dark day blah blah blah. Then the chief found out it was a joke and fired the rookie cop. Horrible joke, yes, but the one who caused all the trouble was the chief. The rookie cop didn’t file a report or anything, this was all about the chief embarrassing himself on Facebook.

…but not before every RWNJ shared the officer’s first version of the story on social media and right wing websites to rile up fellow Trumpsters.
Another job in Herington KS (pop 2,332) might be difficult to find.
The accused McDonald’s employee likely went through much trauma-- thanks to this ‘joke’.
And the police chief who published this garbage in the first place should absolutely lose his job so he can spend more time contemplating just how oppressed he and his ilk really are.
