Update of the alleged cop's Tampax'd frapochino ...


Video footage shows “no suspicious activity” after LAPD cop claims he found a “tampon” in his drink

But almost immediately, this story begins to fall apart, because as women on social media immediately pointed out, that is almost certainly not a tampon.


Everyone with a vagina knows that this is not a tampon. Everyone who has ever worked food service knows that the person taking the order doesn’t make the food nor can you leave unless you’re on break. Another BS story from a cop attempting to garner sympathy. https://t.co/Atxb59ACY9

UPDATE: Statement from Target:
“We take this allegation seriously. We have reviewed video footage and have not found any suspicious behavior. We have shared the video with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and look forward to the conclusions of their investigation.”

America’s cops nurse a victim complex almost as great as the one our President holds for himself, and have a bizarre obsession with victimizing themselves through fast food, like when a Kansas cop claimed that a McDonald’s employee had written “PIG” on his coffee cup and then later admitted that it was him, or the time a Florida cop accused a Burger King employee of putting “dirt” in his food when in fact it was just seasoning or the time an Indiana cop accused a McDonald’s employee of taking a bite out of his burger before admitting that he just forgot he’d already started eating it.

The most recent event of this nature, last week’s “Shake Shack” drama, was revealed to have been entirely contrived by an NYPD police Sergeant, who wasted taxpayer dollars running a scam investigation into the mystery of the poisoned milkshakes which didn’t actually make anyone sick and just tasted weird.

or any other position where they have power over others.

They need standards and guidelines to keep certain types out. some bad ones will still get through but those will be rare and with better people there they won't defend the bad ones either.

The ones like in the OP would probably be one of those easily rejected if they had higher standards.
