Call the P.C. Police! Officer Whines That Someone Wrote Black Lives Matter on Their Box of Donuts [View all]


You can’t make this stuff up… or maybe you can?

An unnamed, unidentified police officer has claimed in a blog post online that his box of donuts from Krispy Kreme were graffiti-ed when he received them with the phrase, “Black Lives Matter.”

The alleged incident occurred in New Smyrna, Georgia, and the local police department says that they are looking into the issue.

Why they would be looking into such a harmless act is a mystery as no crime was committed. Surely they have something better to do than follow up on an innocent instance like this?

To its credit – nor maybe to its discredit – Krispy Kreme issued a statement in response to the incident on Thursday, apologizing to the police force and promising to train its employees in “mutual respect.”

Once again, it is worth noting that this alleged officer who was allegedly deprived of socially-conscious-free donuts has not come forward and identified him or herself. And yet because of public backlash against what is essentially a rumor, this company has issued an apology.
