Burger King Make It Their Way For Cops

Forgive me if this is a re-post.
No wonder that Burger King on TV is so psychotic...
Although no doubt some planeteers will REQUEST this on their next Whopper...

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.

The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.

The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.

"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper,"' the officers' attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday.

"The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."

Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.

Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.

I think its funny that the cops had to go to the hospital for medical evaluations.

Well, that explains why I always still had the munchies after eating Burger King.

Cop or no, fast food is a dicey & scary proposition. 80% of the folks working in them could give a rats ass about anything outside of of gettin' bent after work. I always get a good chuckle when i go into a fast food bathroom & see the "Wash Hands Before Returning To Work" signs...........i'm sure THATS strictly adhered to

Good rule for life for all of you marijuana-using slackers out there. Don't get caught doctoring the food of people who are allowed to handcuff you, strip-search you, and put you into a locked room with brutish sex-assault people.

**luv** · 11-07-2006, 01:09 PM

Maybe the officers could use a few more of these burgers to chill out a bit...lol.

Considering that THC cannot be absorbed simply by ingestion, I smell BS.

You can't just eat pot and get high.... it has to be broken down by being slowly cooked with a fat soluble base like butter.
