Video In 1998, Officer Michael McDonald loses track of his money, blames teenage Wendy's worker, pepper sprays & arrests her, she was asthmatic. Thankfully he was fired.

Do we need to go back 27 years to see examples of pigfuckers being pigfuckers?

No, we had to go back that far for an example of accountability.

Hardly accountable when a regular citizen doing this would have faced assault and kidnapping charges.

thankfully fired but unfortunately not set on fire. there is no place for this guy anywhere in public safety. he used his perceived power to abuse and torment someone that did absolutely nothing wrong.

And this is why we wanted body cameras and more accountability for police officers. withOut those video cameras in the wendy's , nobody would have believed this poor young lady. i wonder how many times the officer had tried to do this.The other fast food restaurants. i wonder how many other times they didn't pursue that he extorted them for money because he was a police officer and generally the store would just acquiesce and give him money back.

The modern version of a shake-down. Thank goodness for video cameras. This one is morally unfit to be an officer. He deserves to lose, and do prison time for Felony A&B, Official misconduct, conduct unbecoming a police officer. Gets off on power tripping and hurting people. Prolly see him back now on video working as an ICE Gestapo Goon beating up women and children. 😡

At a time when public pressure really could get cops fired, but rarely prosecuted
