You put weed in the tacos?

They get free marijuana with their whopper and complain?

Silly cops.

Well, we'll just say that at the end of the night some of the employees were very happy to take the extras home.

Silly cops.
Certainly beats the free coffee they'd have gotten from 7-11.

Silly cops.

Imagine if you failed a piss test and lost your shiny badge and gun because some punk kid put weed in your whopper. If it was me I'd be pretty pissed off.

Really. I especially like this sound bite from the officers' lawyer: "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." Pompous ass. And why do the officers need a lawyer?

Two words : "pistol whipping"

And why do the officers need a lawyer?

The officers are suing Burger King. Hence the lawyer.

Ah, I missed that. God bless America, land of the lawsuit. :rolleyes:

As long as they're taking Burger King to court, could the amend the complaint to include 1) getting rid of the King, that guy creeps me out, and 2) go back to having decent fries? I like BK burgers much better than McDonalds', but McDonalds fries are the best in the world, and fries trump burgers every time.

Oh, the King is still plenty weird, especially when showing up in some guy's bed, but that was pretty funny. I wonder if they got chased at all during shooting?

That's not a "Deluxe Whopper". That's a "happy Whopper"! (At least that's what they call food served with "extra spice" in SE Asia... ;))

How the hell is that aggravated battery?

Most likely because the NM statutes probably define it as battery of a police officer.

Criminal Law - Violent Crimes - Battery

Question 1 of 3

What is battery?
Battery is the act of using force against another person which results in either bodily injury or offensive touching. It does not need to be intentional; force applied with criminal negligence is sufficient to be considered battery. In addition, the force does not have to be directly applied to the victim. For example, directing a dog to attack someone is considered battery.

Criminal Law - Violent Crimes - General Questions

Question 2 of 30

What is aggravated battery?
Aggravated battery is a more serious form of battery, and is considered a felony, (i.e. punishable by death or more than a year in prison) unlike simple battery which is a misdemeanor (i.e. punishable by less than one year in prison, or by fine only). It varies by state, but the acts most often defined to entail aggravated battery include:

use of a deadly weapon

battery in which serious bodily injury occurs, and

battery against a child, woman or police officer.

So cops are legally on par with women and children. This amuses me ever so slightly.

I want a marujiana whooper, I suggest spiking all kinds of foods, there will be side-effects for sure, but I and others will be too doped up to care.

smoke it, roll it, inject it, eat it, sniff it, inhale it (and on and on and on and on and on and on)

Even women being on par with children is rather silly, IMO. Isn't that a teensy bit sexist in this day and age?

Just a little... :mad:

SEXISM=BAD

Sort of. Crimes against police officers are often given elevated status due to their poitions of authority.

Yes, indeed. (Do some travelling in SE Asia and ask for your food "happy" at the right places, as I mentioned above.)

Agreed. But women are still being given "sexist" special status or privilages in several areas. Aside from statutes like the above, there're Selective Service exemptions, exemptions from serving in combat units, and "gender-norming" of physical requirements in several fields.

(Note: Yes, there are also many areas in which women are still discrimninated against, including some of the above examples of special status or privilage. By pointing out that these exist, I'm not supporting them in either direction.)

So they can outlegal anyone who accuses them of smoking pot and trying to blame it on people at Burger King.

Yes, indeed. (Do some travelling in SE Asia and ask for your food "happy" at the right places, as I mentioned above.)



thanks, but I doubt I will be travelling there anytime soon :( , but if that be the case... :cool:

"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."

The idea that these hoodlums would waste perfectly good marijuana on a bunch of loser cops for some stupid and ill-conceived joke is outrageous.

Maybe they planned on eating it themselves, but got the burgers mixed up.
