On Thanksgiving Day, while you were carving turkey, pouring wine and holding in gas, Oklahoma became the epicenter of the latest media-manufactured Starbucks outrage controversy, when Kiefer Police Chief Johnny O'Mara hopped on Facebook to whine about a ballsy, disrespectful and rebellious Starbucks barista, who labeled one of his officer's coffee orders "PIG."
Here's the Facebook post:
Should you write PIG on a cop's order at Starbucks? No, but is it really that big of a deal? As Officer Koharski reminded us in Wayne's World, people have been calling cops that for years. Hell, back when I waited tables at Applebee's, we'd call tables with uniformed cops "Pig Tops." Fortunately, we weren't dumb enough to actually write that on their ticket.
Anyway, before you could say "Pass the gravy," the story blew up like a frozen turkey dropped in a bucket of hot peanut oil. It quickly circulated amongst the right-wing snowflakes in the never-question law enforcement echo chamber, and then launched full throttle into the national outrage media circuit.
