Are you kidding me? I'm am so sick of these redneck police with a badge who think they can do whatever they want to whomever they want. I don't believe this would have happened if it was a white women. She would have said "I'm sorry Officer Bubba" and Bubba would have said it's ok and ate that burger with his one tooth. People think they are really getting away with mistreating people on this earth but God will have the last laugh.

To the person talking about If it was a White woman. Lets not go into the race issue. That seems to come up everytime a black person is arrested. Im a White woman and I get treated the same as black people and I have 2 speeding tickets to prove it. So lets no go calling the NAACP to investigate this. I think the young lady should file suit against the Union City Police dept. The dept. should fire the police officer. Im beginning to have no respect for police officers they can do what ever they want to and have no one to answer to. Let me go into Mcdonalds and order the same thing and it be salty and call the police they would probualy lock me up for wasting their time, and god knows 3 of them wouldnt have came out its hard enuff to get one to help you. This is what our tax dollars are paying for. I think that some of their power needs to be taken from them or there is going to be alot of innocent people out of money,jobs and in jail

To Jen1116 I can appreciate the fact that you are are a white woman and saying its not a racial thing. I'm surprise you didn't say, "I have black friends" but you really don't have a clue until you walked in a black person's shoes. Believe it or not, we are treated differently and the poorest white person would trade places with the riches black person b/c of it. The reason we have to call the NAACP is b/c unless rednecks are threaten by something bigger than their own good ol boys and are put in the national spotlight, they will continue to do as they've done. I'm sorry about your speeding tickets but don't ever compare your plight with that of black americans. If you don't believe me, check out the news in LA where white and black boys got into a fight at school. The white boys were given probation, the black boys have been in jail for a few months facing 22 years for attempted murder. Oh but we are treated the same? What world are you living in??

There are two things that stand out about all this. First, obviously, is the abuse of power by the Union City officer by using his power to arrest someone for too much salt on a BURGER. If my burger was too salty, I'd probably get a refund and another burger. What's wrong with that? Would i want to have someone arrested over it? Please.
Then on the flip side is the low wage earning, night shift working woman who accidentally poured too much salt into the food, and was too tired, frustrated, annoyed, uninterested enough to correct the problem. Does she need to be arrested for this? No. Is it annoying? Yes.
Face it. Our society has become increasingly uncaring and unconscientious and then overly aggressive in response due to the frustration over this fact.

actually...if you listen to the story, the only thing we know is that the lady arrested was black. We DO NOT KNOW if the arresting officer was black, white, hispanic or green.
In the story it was stated that she was in a place where she could not see who was in the front or in the drive thru, which means he coulnt see her either. So, I dont think its really justified to talk about the race issue as the reason behind the arrest. The abuse of power over the officer and what appears to now be the judge not being able to find grounds to disagree with the officers interpretation of the law is where this whole thing is going to where it never should have gone. This guy needs to be examined for mental issues, and someone out there like that....interpreting the laws like he is for his own gratification, doesnt deserve to wear the uniform and shouldnt.

she wrong for that. Locker up.

First of all, Dont bring race into everything. what is the point? Of course a white person cant walk in a black persons shoes ect.. so get a life with all that bs. The officer was a jacka** . This is about as dumb as they get.

She got exactly what she deserved. This has nothing to do with intent. The bottom line is, she knew there was something wrong with the food and she served it anyway and it made someone sick. Luckily, it was someone with the power to do something about it. How many more people would have gotten sick if they had ate that mess? I have hypertension and if I ate something that someone had dumped a box of salt in, I'd end up in the hospital. I hope they do have video of the salt falling into the mix, it will only help the officers case against her. It will show that she knew something was wrong with the food and served it anyway. You all act like they are accusing her of intentionally putting the salt in there, but that's not what they charged her with. This girl is too stupid to work at McDonalds.

Police officers, district attorneys, and judges get a life and prosecute real criminals!

She knew the food was tainted but chose to serve it anyway. That was dumb on her part. That food made the officer sick. None of you know the condition of his health or how much seasoning was spilled into the food. An excess amount of salt (or whatever she spilled into the food) could have really hurt him or any other unsuspecting consumer - and yes there is a such thing as too much sodium intake. If she didn't know about the spill I'd feel differently, but she served bad food intentionaly. She deserved what she got. She was negligent and has now put McDonald's in a legal battle for knowingly serving bad food.
