I love a burger as much as the next guy, but I can’t say that I condone gun/burger relations. Check out this Denver cop and his zest for burgers.

A Denver police officer has been suspended after allegedly brandishing his gun at a McDonald’s restaurant in Aurora after his order took too long to fill.

A spokesperson for the Aurora Police Department said they plan to present the case — now classified as a felony menacing incident — to the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office Thursday for possible filing of criminal charges.

Sources familiar with the case, and the fast food worker’s account of what happened, say two off-duty Denver police officers placed an order from their car in the early morning hours of May 21. But once at the drive through window, the employee said the men became agitated and angry at how long their food was taking. The men thought they were being ignored, according to contacts familiar with the worker’s account. The male clerk then said one of the officer’s flashed his police badge and pointed a pistol through the drive through window in a threatening manner, before driving off without paying.

Hmm, call me crazy, but I think this is a bit of an abuse of power. Maybe not as much of an abuse of power as forcing someone to blow you to get out of jail, but equally as delicious for all involved parties.

Generally speaking, I support the police. But there’s something to be said about the fact that there is a significant sector of cops who are just dicks. Like I have no responsibility to society and if I had a gun and my Big Mac was taking too long, I’d probably go, “Well, this sucks” and leave or continue to wait. Now if I see the Hamburglar again, that’s different. I’ve never forgiven him for drugging me and f’ing my mouth. There’s a reason they never just gave you the hamburgers, dick.
