    Sheriff Owens, on the other hand, argued that it was a simple business dispute that any citizen could have called in.

    Well, does every other citizen have a vehicle equipped with computers, sirens and have the authority to basically break traffic at will for emergencies?

    “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.”

    What the fuck is even a “business dispute call”? The police are not supposed to be involved in “business disputes” at all. If he thinks his deputies are supposed to speed through city streets to placate some Karen at Burger King, then he’s beyond educating and should just be removed from his position.

    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!

    I don’t understand why they refused to correct his order or refund him, but this was clearly an abuse of power.

        Totally normal™ up to just after he checked his Karen hairdo in the pocket mirror, folded it away in his purse, put his hand on the gun and said “Ok, let’s do this.”?

      I doubt their standard procedure is to give wrong food to customers and then lock the doors. Something else happened prior to what is told in the story.
