Cop Becomes Impatient While Waiting in McDonald’s Drive-Thru Lane, Pulls Gun on Teen Customer [View all]

A police officer in Georgia had what is being described as a "severe break in judgment" after he apparently drew his gun on a McDonald's customer who was taking too long to receive his order.

Scott Biumi, a detective sergeant with the DeKalb County Police Department, was in the drive-thru lane of a local McDonald's last week, when he reportedly became impatient with the truck in front of him, and decided to confront the driver.

After pulling his Chevrolet Impala ahead of the truck, Biumi allegedly stepped out of the car and began hurling expletives at the other driver — 18-year-old Ryan Mash.

According to the official police report, Biumi then pulled out his gun, pointed it at the Mash's head, and shouted "you don't know who you are fucking with."

...A lapse of judgement?? Good Lord!!! But you'll be happy to know, if you read the article, that the other cops in the town did have better judgement and arrested their fellow cop)
