… The original poster, Ann, also shared the phone number of that particular McDonald’s restaurant at the Love’s Travel Stop in Richmond Hill, Ga. “Come on America. We are better than this,” she wrote.
But many of the tens of thousands of comments beneath the video have taken a less supportive tone. In fact, some viewers claimed they were going to call the restaurant to demand raises for the workers who had to “deal with Officer Karen” instead.
Some pointed out that Talbert had no idea what was going on inside the kitchen or restaurant while her order was being prepared. “She thinks fast food workers have time to delay her order intentionally as if they aren’t constantly being micromanaged, or that they can even keep track of who had a single egg McMuffin,” wrote one….
Still others just made fun of the clip, which led to terms such as “Officer Karen” and “McMuffin” trending on Twitter on Wednesday morning. “Karen” has become a slang term for the stereotype of an entitled, privilege white woman….
Tweets:
Imagine the worst oppression you’ve ever felt is McDonald’s making you wait 10 minutes for a McMuffin
The officers who killed Brianna Taylor still haven't been arrested and this officer karen is upset over a McMuffin
everyone in the comments are so mad this poor woman had to wait a few extra minutes for her mcmuffin just wait till we tell them how long black people have been waiting for equality
You can weep over an Egg McMuffin or you can carry a gun but you can't do both.
this person.....having a mental breakdown over a mcmuffin... is allowed to carry a pistol everyday and use it whenever they deem it necessary
Comments:
Serious mental health screening is needed for that job.
I went through the drive thru once and they forgot my fries. But I didn’t cry and film myself and post it online for sympathy
I can't breathe and you are worried you can't eat a breakfast sandwich!
Hilarious!!! A white woman feels like she’s been treated differently because she wears a uniform. Maybe this incident gives her a tiny perspective of what it’s like to have black skin in America.
Karen

A sheriff's office employee and an investigative assistant with the district attorney's office in Ventura County, California, were among three men who have been arrested after they were caught on video damaging a roadside Black Lives Matter sign on private property, authorities said.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office identified the men as Darrin Stone, Craig Anderson and Jeffrey Moore, all of Thousands Oaks.
For the last three weeks, the sign — a tarp with the letters BLM painted on it — has been secured to a fence on Westlake Boulevard and has been damaged or removed several times, the sheriff's office said.
The owner of the sign placed a surveillance camera near it to capture images of anyone damaging or removing it....
Damn, LEOs are really really stupid.
Non-LEO racists are really really stupid, too:
... A third man, Moore, 58, was also arrested and issued a misdemeanor citation for vandalism. He is accused of spray painting graffiti on the sign on June 11. Moore was tracked down through the company name and phone number prominently displayed on his work truck, the sheriff's office said....
Maybe not yet, but the company name will eventually have to be made public. Bet he gets fired unless it's his company.
I have decades of cynicism about cops behind me and even I'm appalled. Pigs.
Speaking of appalling pigs . . .
First - this further refutes the "bad apple" crap
2nd and of critical importance - these cameras should feed directly into a database that can't be manipulated and any "bad apple" who disables or obscures a camera will be fired immediately and cannot work in law enforcement again.

After a video surfaced of George Floyd being murdered by Minneapolis police, 15-year-old Kellen started a petition demanding justice. It's now the biggest petition ever on Change.org and officers have been arrested and charged. But we haven't yet seen justice. You can sign the petition here to send a message that Black lives matter.

... There will be some engagement between now and July, but what we understood was that we couldn’t do enough in that short period of time to really give people the opportunity to have their voice heard and really develop a budget that speaks to the community,” Whitehorn said.
Many community members didn’t want to wait until later in the process to voice their concerns. For an hour, 25 different callers phoned into the meeting’s live speaker queue, advocating that the APD’s budget be cut by at least 50%. Many cited Black AVL Demands, a self-described “intergenerational collective of Black leaders” calling for “divestment from the police and investment in Black communities.”
“There is clearly a list of the things that we’ve asked for, and it was clearly written on the street in bright yellow letters to defund the police, so I’m a little uncertain what more community engagement would look like,” said Chris O’Leary of Asheville, referencing a mural painted by protesters in front of City Hall on June 21. “Right now, we’re engaging and not being heard.”
Idk if the city authorized the mural or if it's still there. Whatever, .
I'm not understanding the manslaughter charge or the lengthy investigation.
Cop brages he going to shoot through the door if BLM come around
He is warned not to
He shoots his friend through the door
oops, manslaughter

"In a statement released Tuesday, officials from the Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office said the investigation has led to the dismissal of approximately 50 criminal cases."

His threat was directed toward somebody else, "BLM", but he had no intention of shooting the particular person he did. However, you could certainly say he intended to shoot somebody - and that somebody included whoever he saw or thought he saw out his door.

Is manslaughter appropriate, given that he was warned that shooting through the door would be irresponsible, or is manslaughter the white version of murder?
I can't even imagine a black person being charged with only manslaughter and what about the police property his bullets damaged? I don't see any stacking.

I don't know about Arkansas, and very little about criminal law at all. But in some places, voluntary manslaughter and 2nd degree murder are pretty much the same - killing somebody without pre-meditation. But I certainly wouldn't try to claim they aren't going lighter on him than if some random Black guy had shot through the door.

random Black guy had shot a cop through the door.

Hell, as an uninterested bystander, I would say first degree murder is the ticket; the guy said ahead of time he was going to do this. Thirty days in the electric chair followed by lethal rejection.

Not to appear to defend the fuckhead, but actually the did not say he was going to shoot/kill a fellow officer or anybody else other than the BLM protesters. He didn't threaten the guy he killed. And besides, sometimes you have to set forth a charge you can almost surely get a conviction on instead of reaching and ending up with an OJ walk.

Ok, I guess my habit of watching old Perry Mason shows at 9am during the week has given me some sort of misplaced grandiose confidence. The little details, like being able to see a reflection from a glass picture frame on the wall showing that someone is at your door before you shoot was what initially goaded me into the first degree murder charge. Now I wish to act as my own executioner in this case.
Yeah, and the fear of having the sleaze bag defended by Perry Mason is another good reason for charging something you're pretty sure you can win. Perry would manage to prove that the guy at the door actually shot himself, and the investigator knew that but framed the accused anyway because the investigator's wife had been over there earlier giving complimentary bj's.
