Cop pulls gun at McDonalds because order was 'Taking too long'
Aurora police confirmed the CBS4 investigation saying the incident occurred May 21 at the McDonald's at 18181 East Hampden Avenue.
A spokesperson for the Aurora Police Department said they plan to present the case -- now classified as a felony menacing incident -- to the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office Thursday for possible filing of criminal charges.
Sources familiar with the case, and the fast food worker's account of what happened, say two off-duty Denver police officers placed an order from their car in the early morning hours of May 21. But once at the drive through window, the employee said the men became agitated and angry at how long their food was taking. The men thought they were being ignored, according to contacts familiar with the worker's account. The male clerk then said one of the officer's flashed his police badge and pointed a pistol through the drive through window in a threatening manner, before driving off without paying.
Both officers are assigned to Denver International Airport although only one has been placed on administrative leave with pay, pending the outcome of the case.

Administrative leave with pay???? If anybody else would have pulled a gun on the drive-thru guy, they would be in jail.
But laws don't apply to cops.

So they get administrative leave WITH pay..
AND a free McDondals?!

If I were a cop I'd never eat fast food again in uniform. They are going to shit tank your food now.
-
It is McDonalds for fucks sake. it is so not worth the time or anything. This is so pointless
-
Drove off without paying. I think they should add armed robbery (of a coffee and biscuit) to the list of charges.
-
The cops pulling a gun on the drive through kid actually surprises me. They must have forgot their tazers at home... ;-)

LOL. Anger in a blue state, noooooooooooo.
Another McDonald's incident: calling 911 because they were out of Chicken McNuggets and thought 911 was a line to the government who could do something about it.
Guess who she voted for?

This reminds me of the dipshit cop who maced a kid who worked at Wendy's a few years ago because he thought she shorted him $10.
With all the incidents in the news lately that involve that stupidity and/or lack of judgment of our boys in blue, it makes one wonder what the hell kind of people are slipping through the cracks or if these are just the kind of people who are hired. I'd like to think that the people who are paid to serve and protect are more levelheaded than I. And they also should be a group of people who don't think their balls have dropped just because they have some authority along with a gun and a badge. Shit like this is ridiculous and inexcusable.

Just like the Trooper from Oklahoma, These guys know they can get away with anything. They are the Police and no one ever questions their judgement on the stand. Protect and serve me some nuggets bitches!
-
time to sue the cop in cival court and the police dept in a court of law I would have a nervese break down and never be able to work again but thats just me the officer should go to prison just like all the other crimmanals the rob and steal from us it's THE LAW!!
-
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN--ALL HIS FELLOW OFFICERS KNOW THAT THE GUN IS THEIR PENUS REPLACEMENT--I GUESS THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED THE PENAL CODE--AND HE GETTING PAID BECAUSE HE WAS JUST--DEMONSTRATING ADHERENCE TO THE CODE.
THE DA SHOULD CHARGE HIM WITH INDECENT EXPOSURE-FAILURE TO SECURE HIS WEAPON-THREATENING WITH A WEAPON-ARMED ROBBERY AND ON AND ON. I AM SURE THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF VIOLATIONS THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS. . -
So did they drive away *with* their food, or give up on the order?
