AURORA, Colo. -A Denver police officer has been charged with felony menacing for allegedly brandishing his gun at a McDonald's restaurant after getting tired of waiting for his food.
Derrick Curtis, 29, Saunders also face charges of prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
An employee at the Aurora restaurant told investigators that two Denver police officers were waiting for their food at the drive-through window May 21 when one grew impatient and pulled his gun.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson told The Denver Post that Saunders had been suspended with pay and would be put on unpaid leave once the department is formally notified of the charges.
Sounds like this cop seriously overreacted. I could see if the Burger kid spit in his food or something but sometimes the line just takes a long time. Although after a few run-ins with Arby's on Andrews Highway of my own, I understand how this sort of thing can happen. If I would have had a gun any number of time there would have been blood, curly fries and horsey sauce flying all around that joint.
When you all read this who didn't immediately want to watch this video?
