Herington, Kansas 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.
“This was completely and solely fabricated by a Herington police officer who is no longer employed with our agency,” the chief announced during a press conference.
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.”
Hornaday told reporters that the hoax “has been an obvious violation of that public trust.”
“Now, this is absolutely a black eye on law enforcement,” the police chief said. “I truly hope that the former officer of the Herington Police Department that did this, I hope he understands the magnitude of the black eye that this gives the law enforcement profession from coast to coast.”
Cop wrote his autobiography on the cup?
A joke like this asshole’s police career.
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.
Was it written in black Sharpie?
