Moment cop breaks down in tears over McDonald’s McMuffin
Officer Stacey Talbert broke down in tears as she explained her experience at McDonalds.
This is the moment a police officer broke down in tears after a long wait in a McDonald’s drive-thru made her ‘too nervous’ to accept her meal.
The officer, Stacey Talbert, is a 15-year veteran of the McIntosh County, Georgia police force and filmed herself sobbing as explains her experience at the fast-food chain in Richmond Mill.
She said she ordered a coffee, McMuffin and a hashbrown and, although her coffee came out, her food was delayed – which she said made her fear that an employee may be tampering with her meal.
‘I hadn’t eaten in a while so I was kind of hungry…So I’m still waiting and I’m still waiting,’ she said in the video, explaining that she was told to ‘pull up’ because her food was not ready.
‘I said, “Don’t bother with food because right now I’m too nervous to take it,”‘ she continued.
‘It doesn’t matter how many hours I’ve been up. It doesn’t matter what I’ve done for anyone. Right now I’m too nervious to take a meal from McDonald’s because I can’t see it being made.’
‘I don’t know what’s going on with people nowadays, but please, just give us a break. Please just give us a break. I don’t know how much more I can take,’ she said.
Her plea comes amid countrywide scrutiny of the police after the deaths of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks and many other unarmed black people killed by law enforcement.
The video has been seen by millions on social media an many criticized Talbert for the clip, but she has some come out to say people missed the point.
‘Everybody lost the whole point of the video. I’m just so sick of people being mean,’ she told NBC News on Wednesday.
‘It’s not that people people are waiting in the wings to hurt us. It’s that people don’t trust us.’
