Police Officer Forgot He Took A Bite From His Sandwich (Clip)
# police reports police officer police accountability authoritarian behavior fact checking far right authoritarianism journalism ethics journalistic integrity local news station mcdonalds media bias media credibility

Minion Death Cult critiques a police officer for reporting a sandwich bite as a vindictive, far-right authoritarian act, noting his refusal of a free replacement despite the absurdity of an unknown person biting only the bun. The hosts condemn local news stations for uncritically reproducing this unverified claim as absolute truth, highlighting a dangerous pattern where journalism capitulates to police briefings. Ultimately, this incident exposes how citizens are conditioned to accept law enforcement narratives without scrutiny, allowing petty grievances to distort public reality and erode trust in objective reporting.

Someone Took a Bite Out of My Sandwich 00:03:39
Yeah, so not only is this extremely stupid, it's also extremely cruel.
It's petty and cruel and vindictive.
Which is, you know, of course a pattern of behavior we've come to associate with the far-right authoritarian figures in this country.
But yeah, just determined to go get somebody fired because you forgot you bit your own sandwich.
Yeah.
I can't think of a more, like, cruel and stupid story.
Like, like, this, this should have just been like, he goes to McDonald's and says, hey, someone took a bite out of my sandwich.
Like, oh shit, for real, that's crazy.
I'm sorry about that.
Here's a free sandwich.
And then it could have been done.
He wouldn't accept it.
He wouldn't.
Yeah.
They offered it to him.
You heard it in the news report.
There's no way.
No, no.
It's like, that's not, it's the principle.
Yeah, man.
The principle is get a sandwich, bro.
I would be thrilled.
I mean, A, this probably wouldn't happen to me because I'm not a fuckin' freak who leaves fresh, fast food in the fridge for seven freakin' hours.
But B, yeah, if your food gets fucked up and they're like, hey, here's more free food of the kind you like, I'd be like, fuck yeah, dude, came up.
Fuck up my food again tomorrow.
Yeah please.
And also like how many sandwiches do you think he had because no one took a bite of a sandwich and put it in the fridge.
That was like sandwich number four.
He took a bite and said you know what I don't need this one right now.
Wrapped it up put it away.
Dude that's probably it.
The thing is and it's it's the worst bite too because it's all bun.
He shows the sandwich on camera.
He preserves the evidence.
And he opens up the sandwich.
There's a clear bite.
There's a clear semicircle out of the bun.
But when he opens it up, the chicken patty is intact.
Yeah, it's like no fluff.
He was just amazed.
This is dry.
This is bullshit.
I'll save this for later.
Dude must just have like the gnarliest underbite.
Match that shit up with dental records.
That should be your first go-to.
Well, I see the bottom bun is almost all the way gone, but the patty on the top bun is still very much intact.
One thing we have to talk about with this is a fucking news station.
This isn't Fox News.
This isn't like, you know, some sensationalized online, you know, blaze or Daily Wire or something like that.
This is supposedly local journalism, the kind that we're supposed to be lamenting the disappearance of.
Yeah.
And they said, oh, this cop told us someone bit his sandwich.
And it's true!
It actually happened.
And not only did it actually happen without providing any evidence except a receipt for the purchase of a full sandwich.
Not only are we going to report that it happened, we're just going to report on this story at all.
At all.
This is news.
Why did he get to be a secret, but the McDonald's he went to didn't get to be a secret?
I can't believe I'm defending McDonald's right now, but you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying, bro.
Thanks, man.
Thank you.
Conditioned To Believe 00:01:43
The idea, too, that McDonald's is just willing to bend over backwards, like, oh, here are our employee logs, uh, officers.
Here's, like, personal information about our employees.
We're going to harass our employees on behalf of you guys.
Uh, please, please don't, like, say you don't like us, or whatever.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean, if they want to have like a really effective, you know, raid, they could just... I can just go to McDonald's.
They would turn over everything.
So yeah, troubling to say the least.
The just total capitulation of both our news institutions, journalistic institutions.
Am I stretching that phrase a little too far?
No, you're good.
And also our corporate masters.
Just the total subservience of both of these industries to the police.
Fairly troubling.
But this is something we of course already know the way that The way that journalistic outlets just reproduce police briefings as fact.
Just print police reports as fact.
This is it.
Conditioned, just as, you know, citizens of this country, as people in this country, we're conditioned to say, well, what does the police report say?
Let's get just, you know, no nonsense, no opinion, no spin.
What does the police report say?
And this is the kind of shit the police report says.
