She ended up with a delay and the wrong food instead, and it was just the last straw. Most people at the time felt badly for her, but they also did NOT blame McDonalds' for purposefully sabotaging her order.
Some people did blame McDonalds, and added it to the conspiracy stories. A few even blamed Soros. I mean it really got ridiculous, if you took a walk down the rabbit hole of the internet.
But for the most part, people just accepted and sympathized with the police officer, without feeling like they had to also be angry at McDonalds or the employees, who clearly screwed up.

What is happening is so wrong. First to spread inferences about a serious subject is wrong.
Secondly, I began a thread about social media. Not sure this fits, but on TWITTER, a doctored video which supposedly showed a candidate disparaging police has over 4 million views. Our government has retweeted it twice. It is phoney. There are others with other subject lines....all lies.
Why do people do this, and what purpose does it serve. A serious discussion about policing and crime would serve the country well, but parading phoney lies serves our country very poorly.
A serious discussion on how to stop the lies, and talk straight truth would help, and might shut down the creeps who do it and even watch it.
Isn't there enough stress in this country without fermenting more ?
Police do not need defending....never have. Like all professionals there are good and bad. Defund the police has been totally misrepresented. All this just adds to our division.
I just feel that those who propagate lies
do not care about our country
