    Why does this article leave out that this happened March of 2023…more than a year ago. They just got the footage last week. That still seems like an important detail.

    Edit: added link to another article.

    When deputies first arrived at the scene, they realized the restaurant’s doors were locked, despite employees still being inside. The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

    Oh no, the customers might resort to talking! Quick! Lock the doors!

    So… the sheriff’s decided he didn’t want to call burger King corporate to file a business complaint… but instead call for backup so that city employees could find the phone number for him? He should have to pay a fine for this.

    “I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community,” Sheriff Owens said. “At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”

    That’s disingenuous. The 911 operator, who works for the police department, obviously knows the name of the sheriff. Any police department flags calls from police officers, including non-emergency calls. The sheriff should have known better than to waste public resources to strongarm a business when he could have simply emailed a complaint to corporate.

      If 3 patrol cars speed through town with lights flashing and sirens blaring anytime anyone needs a manager’s phone number, that’s even worse, sheriff.

      Over a freaking whopper! This was totally an abuse of power. I’d love to see what happened to make the employees feel so unsafe that they’d lock the doors.

      And pointedly, the police only respond for criminal issues. They are not going to assist you in a civil dispute like this. Unless you’re the fucking sheriff. The best that could happen is the police come to trespass the caller.

        They might arrest you to teach you a lesson in not wasting their time, though.

      Everytime you are in a meeting that could have been an email, remember that there are police raids that could be solved by looking at Google maps for 30sec.
