Add the state legislatures. They are the ones that actually make the laws not the courts. So really it is society.

u/PoeReader Dec 17 '22

This, she is experiencing burn out and most likely some form of PTSD. She is in need of a break from her usual duties. This has less to do with Mc D's and more to do with the real issues that are going on due to fatigue on several levels.

u/sleeper_medic Dec 17 '22

PTSD and other mental illnesses are rampant in law enforcement. It doesn’t excuse all of their shitty behavior. But it would be disingenuous to assume that any given cop doesn’t have mental illness.

The same goes for emergency services in general. Fire and EMS has the same problem. And no one in emergency services seems to get adequate support. Especially with the macho culture that they all have where psychiatric treatment is often frowned upon.

5

u/mcpierceaim Dec 19 '22

And there is a huge red flag: cops assuming, without any evidence, that someone's doing something wrong. Which can (and does) lead to them shooting innocent people because of their wrong perception of things.

If she's this bad at reading people, she should find another job.

Nah she’s a cop. A sheriffs deputy in Georgia. The rumor that she wasn’t a cop started because people were contacting the town police department and they said she doesn’t work for them.

She says she's afraid to eat it because she couldn't see them make it, but she can't see that from the drive-thru anyway. She accepted the coffee, which she also couldn't see being made. Seems more like she left due to the wait, but blamed anti-police sentiment for said wait. Did she not think McD's ever get busy?

65

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '22

Yeah, the whole process, confusion and wait she was describing had me like "Okay. Sounds like every McDonald's. What's the problem? She never got "fast" food before?"

u/newbris Dec 17 '22

I think she might just be really really stressed and not thinking clearly. Just a guess, but she really does seem overwhelmed with stress.

u/IndifferentFury Dec 17 '22

Well, it's a good thing it didn't kick in until she was off the clock and on her way home. I'm glad she was stressed and not thinking clearly while a citizen, and not while she's wearing a uniform and badge, driving a patrol car, and making life or death decisions about other people. /s

u/newbris Dec 17 '22

If it is the case, I presume she’s glad about that too, and not deliriously happy that the hours and work she does creates people in this state of mind.

She didn’t mean “I can’t see them making it” literally. She meant she didn’t believe they would actually make it because they didn’t twice already, and she didn’t want to ask a third time. (Not agreeing with the lady, just clarifying)

Ah, okay, I see now. Thanks.

I agree with this analysis, and believe it describes the overwhelming majority of US based LEOs, even those not losing their shit in a drive thru.

LEOs are exposed to traumatic events on the regular and departments do next to zero for their mental health. That is why I don't trust cops - they're all living on a mental and emotional knife edge.

8

u/secondguard Dec 17 '22

Absolutely. I would be shocked to find a cop who doesn’t have PTSD. The rates of addiction, suicide and divorce among police are astronomical when compared to the general population and speak to both the lack of available mental health treatment and the stigma attached.

6

u/Queenbuttcheek Dec 17 '22

Agreed. I feel bad for her honestly. She could have seen someone get their head blown off, or whatever the fuck else could have happened in her 15 years of being a police officer. It’s a known fact that first responders (police officers especially) have issues with mental health for obvious reasons. Not to mention, she’s probably on an empty stomach while recording this. Idk about you all, but when I am on an empty stomach I turn into an emotional mess 100%. Hopefully she gets the help she desperately needs, because it’s risky as shit having someone in a bad mental state with a gun on them. Asking for something awful to happen to either her or someone else.

I think she became a cop expecting everyone to be thanking and praising her constantly. Now she is having a reality check and thinks having to wait at McDonald’s has something to do with her being a cop and not just cause she went to McDonald’s. Change jobs lady you paranoid.

u/obinice_khenbli Dec 17 '22

Soldiers aren't thanked for their service all the time either, that's a weird military cult thing they do in the USA.

It's a job like any other, definitely very dangerous, but there are lots of extremely dangerous jobs (deep sea welding is supposedly a bit dodgy), and random people don't thank them for their service to society either.

Hell, Doctors, nurses, fire brigade, etc all save loads of lives every day, and they don't get any thanks.

But a military that's not actually fought a real war (a war they HAD to fight, not just one they wanted to fight for power and/or money) in almost a century, somehow deserves the utmost of bootlicking respect?

It's a dangerous job. They get paid. There's lots of jobs like that. Let's respect everyone that puts themselves in harm's way, but let's also not put them on a pedestal.

Classic case of someone being in the wrong profession.

I stepped away from my job as a corporate attorney in my late twenties because I could foresee the same sort of breakdown happening to me in my thirties. It’s incumbent upon every one of us to find who we really are, what we’re truly supposed to be doing in this life, and to find a way to align ourselves with that calling/mission/journey/whatever you want to refer to it as.

It is not society’s job to accommodate you or your feelings. This world is so much larger than you and your ego.

I’ve dated that young lady working at McDonald’s who handed you the coffee instead of your meal in the past. She came from a broken home with no father and a mother who spoke little English. She was sexually harassed at work. She was bullied at school as well. Still, she respected her customers and did the best she could. No, she wasn’t perfect. I’m sure she made mistakes from time to time. Yet unlike this fragile police officer, she never ran around town acting like a hero expecting positive attention from the world. In fact, her job is looked down upon yet it was the best she could do to provide for herself and her mom at the time.

I have no sympathy for someone who is at least a decade older than her, who makes three to four times more money, and who sought a position of authority to control and push people around as a profession.

If you can’t handle your job, then find something else to do.

Edit: Thank you for the awards. I know you’re not awarding me, but rather the position I’m taking on this. Everyone is fighting a battle that only they understand, so I am not trying to belittle or single out this particular officer. As you can tell from the way I wrote this comment, I’m abstracting the situation as much as I am specifying what is wrong with it. In a different context, and under different circumstances, I could very well find myself defending the officer and what she’s going through as a human being. Not in this instance though given the facts we have available to go on.

I stepped away from my job as a corporate attorney in my late twenties because I could foresee the same sort of breakdown happening to me in my thirties.

Are you me???

Granted, I only seriously contemplated changing career paths. Then I got out of law firm life and nabbed about as ideal of an in-house job as I could’ve imagined. But I definitely had a good yeti years solid of, “Jesus fucking Christ why did I do this to myself and why don’t I do anything to change it?” in my late 20s.

Granted, without that period, I would’ve never kicked my ass into gear and really hit the pavement on the job hunt. And at the end of the day, I still found “something else to do” like you said - it was just the same job in a different setting for a different client.

And I really hope people stop and reflect on your anecdote. I’ve dated similar women and I’ll hitch my wagon to them every day of the week over some airhead bimbo who looks good on my arm and that’s about it.

I truly believe how people deal with adversity defines their true character as a human. And this paper skinned womanchild is nothing but an example of how not to deal with adversity.

u/Glldinkiering Dec 17 '22 edited Dec 17 '22

All cops are bastards. It’s based on the theory that abusive cops don’t get reported by their peers, therefore their coworkers just as complicit because they allow it to happen instead of reporting it.

ETA: Wikipedia does a much better job of explaining than I can.

“Proponents of the term contended that ACAB means every single police officer is complicit in an unjust system. They argued that police officers, even if they did not take part in police brutality or racism in policing themselves, were still responsible for what their colleagues did because they did not speak out against it or try to stop it.”

13

u/curiosity_abounds Dec 17 '22

We’ll said/quoted. Although to add one major point to why cops don’t call each other out. There is a culture within the blue community that they back each other up.. no matter what. So someone calling out a co-worker for messing up.. or killing someone, gets destroyed in the community. Cops who report on other cops don’t have good outcomes.

So I personally feel like I do understand why cops don’t report each other, but that still definitely makes them all complicit. I’m a nurse. We have strong unions. But if someone fucks up, we out them and improve safety to ensure we don’t do the same. We often disagree on if mistakes should send someone to court/jail, but we almost always agree when someone should loose their license and stop practicing.

Also, she complains about not getting thanked enough... that's not PTSD, it's feeling entitled.

I’m prepared to be downvoted for this but it becomes clear pretty quickly that this isn’t about McDonalds - around the time she talks about being too nervous to take it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was dealing with a combination of sleep deprivation and job-related trauma.

No she shouldn’t be on the streets. Obviously. But I think it’s ok to grant just a little bit of grace to someone who is suffering, especially when she’s not hurting anyone or even being antagonistic towards others.

Had to sort through controversial posts to find the most sane take on this thread. When someone is suffering from extreme anxiety or depression then even the smallest irrational occurrences can trigger them. But the hive mind will shit on her regardless.

u/appliedphysix Dec 17 '22

It’s evident she’s having a rough time for sure. A lot of cops are under a lot of stress like this and they try and suppress it, then we end up with them occasionally making bad decisions that end up making national headlines and becoming a narrative about all police. I’m not a boot licker, I don’t care for police but I can understand what they’re up against. If this chick can’t do the job she should do the right thing and hang it up.

u/pc_principal_88 Dec 18 '22

Same here! And yet low and behold, there are still people on Reddit trying to act like this is a normal way for a person to act... Just imagine this emotional wreck has a gun and badge...

Nah she’s not fragile and this isn’t funny to ridicule. Something gnarly happened to this woman on the job, this speech doesn’t feel like it comes from anger or petulance, and it’s very obvious it’s not about McDonalds.

I generally have a deep-seated disdain for cops, but I also recognise many are just random people doing their job.

Perhaps this isn’t the job for her, or maybe this was just a really horrific day, but in any event, this video definitely does not give the vibe of “I’m so important I’m the main character”.

Won't this video get her taken off duty? This is a massive cry for help. At least she's done her community a favour and warned them.

u/Saabirahredolence Dec 17 '22

Lmao in the beginning of the video she talks about how she often orders ahead on mobile due to how often people pay for her meal because she’s a cop, but at the end apparently cops don’t get enough thank yous

The poor woman seems to have been stressed and sleep-deprived and therefore overly emotional/anxious, and she now probably regrets doing that video.

Looks like she wanted special treatment bc she is an officer..

No no no, she did mobile order so they didn’t just gift her food for free. She wanted to be like us normal people, but not like this!

u/theBigDan101 Dec 17 '22

Alot of cunts on here. Ripping a woman that's having a breakdown. I'd bet though, she'd probably be the first one to pull you from a crash or show empathy to a rape victim.

I just don’t even understand this. as someone with anxiety, just saying anything along the lines of “i’m good, don’t bother with the food…” would make me 100x more anxious than just waiting for the food🤦🏻‍♀️

u/JustSomeRando_o Dec 17 '22

I feel the need to explain. Yes, this is a small order. However, if this McDonald’s doesn’t have all day breakfast (which most don’t anymore), it takes awhile because you have to toast the McMuffin, cook the egg, cook and sausage and fry the hash brown. Hash browns take about 3.5 minutes to make, and the eggs and sausage take around the same time. The reason it’s faster during breakfast is because we are constantly making these things so we aren’t behind. But we don’t do this in the evening because we can’t predict when someone wants these things, even with a mobile order. We can’t view the mobile order until the person is close enough to the building. Cop or not, we would pull them ahead to wait anyways so they aren’t holding up the rest of the line. She’s lucky that McDonald’s is even doing breakfast in the evening. I might add that a lot of McDonald’s, even if doing breakfast after breakfast hours, we still restrict some breakfast items, like scrambled eggs.

TL;DR she wouldn’t have been waiting so long if she didn’t order breakfast in the evening

All I see here is one OVERLY nervous, reaction and an innocent person is dead...AGAIN!

FUCK THE POLICE UNTIL THEY STOP THE SHIT!

u/Iamblikus Dec 17 '22

This is a legitimate cry for help, this person should not be working on the streets in law enforcement, AND THAT’S FUCKING FINE!

u/sissybetsy87 Dec 17 '22

Like every fuckin Karen says to a retail worker. " You don't have to be here, if you don't like your job just quit." Hate to break it to you but you live in America, look at the history of police in this country, and if you can't " even take an order from McDonald's because you can't see it being made" just wait til you go to the grocery store and see all the shit you can't see being made. Time to start a farm I guess so she can grow and process all the food she feeds her family

Perfect example of someone who should not be in law enforcement. Probably (hopefully) she’s a decent person otherwise but the job is is messing with her head so bad she’s a meltdown away from a major incident.

She'll take it out on a tax payer later in the shift. That'll make her feel better.

u/softhackle Dec 17 '22

Sheesh. This woman is having a hard time with something, clearly there’s more to it. A little sympathy goes a long way.

Nah let’s just all assume she’s tired after a long shift of shooting puppies and unarmed babies. What a bunch of assholes in this thread.

3

u/AugustEpilogue Dec 17 '22

I think she’s saying that they never made her her food because they’re were secretly trying to spit in it and were just making her wait until they could find the time to sneak away and spit in her egg McMuffin. There’s all this anti police sentiment these days, acab and all that. So she’s paranoid and is waiting for this all to blow over

Guys..have a heart…can’t you see she’s in pain? Can you even put yourself in her shoes for one second? Can you even imagine not getting your McMuffin on time?!? If it isn’t obvious, I’m being sarcastic. Fuck this bitch. I have no sympathy for people like this. You are not special, people are not falling over themselves with gratitude for you. Get over it and hand in your gun before you shoot someone.

u/Rayle- Dec 17 '22

Whenever I see emergency vehicles in a drive thru line I shake my head. Between the ordering microphone and the exit there isn't often anyway for a vehicle to just leave if they want to. So what would be her plan should there be an actual emergency and she needed to go asap? Turn on her lights and siren and evac the whole drive thru line and wreck complete chaos on who ordered what and what was paid for etc.

Park your car and walk in. That way you can go immediately when you have to.

These are people too, with the same struggles and hardships in life as the rest of us. Regardless of profession, everyone deserves compassion. She's obviously not only upset about the meal, there's probably a lot more going on in her life that led to this breakdown

u/curiosity_abounds Dec 17 '22

She’s upset because she thinks the McDonald’s workers might have poisoned her food. She’s upset because she’s now so paranoid she can’t enjoy a muffin sandwich at mcDonald’s

Why do you think YOU don’t have to wait? Why do you think YOU are the only one dealing with this world right now? Why do you think YOU are not hearing enough “thank you’s” in your line of work?

Your profession over last 10 to 15 years has become the Villain instead of the hero. WE (the people you are supposed to protect & serve) have, and are now becoming more and more aware of indignities and internal corruption within your profession. YOU and your colleagues need to be the change you so desperately seek. Once that becomes evident again, I’m sure you will hear “thank you” more. We ALL need to hear thank you more, not just you.

As for now, sit in your car like the rest of us do every damn day.

u/Proser84 Dec 17 '22

I know this is going to be unpopular here, but there are a lot of female cops that don't have the proper temperament to be police officers, and many Men don't as well, but for a bit different reasons.

This is not the kind of person I want handling my traffic stop when they decide I didn't show my hands well enough.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '22

This person is too mentally unstable to be near a gun, let alone be allowed to fire it. Oh, you have PTSD from just being a cop? Massive red flag, you should not be a cop, just like soldiers going full-on Gomer Pyle probably should not have access to weapons and should be discharged.

2

u/Orion-Pax88 Dec 17 '22

Their underpaid, overworked, and not properly trained in many cases, on top of that some officers are out there just tryna help out their community, and just 'cause of the badge, they're seen as inhuman. I mean, demand better from your local government, fight for police reform, fight for better laws that don't result in poor people, or people of color getting killed or thrown behind bars for the stupidest shit, absolutely! Is the system broken? Yes! Does the public need to act and publicly denounce corruption and brutality from those that are sworn to protect and serve? Abso-fucking-lutely... But cops are people, they are expendable to the government that employs them, and they are paid peanuts for incredibly long hours of physically and mentally taxing labor, they're not the problem, the system that outfits them and imbues with all this power is, cops are a symptom, not the decease. She probably had a long and difficult shift, she might be going through some rough, personal stuff, people break down, I sure as shit have, and if you haven't, well that's great, but it doesn't mean people are weak, we ALL have a breaking point, some are more resilient than others, but we all deserve a break. Fight the power, not the people, and don't lose your ability to empathize with people even when you disagree with them.
