A group of police officers in Pakistan flipped out when a takeaway joint refused to hand over free burgers, detaining all 19 staff at the branch.
Workers at the trendy Johnny & Jugnu chain in the eastern city of Lahore were rounded up and held for seven hours overnight on Saturday (June 12), leaving behind unattended kitchens and hungry customers.
"This is not the first time something like this has happened with our kitchen teams at our restaurant, but we want to make sure this is the last," the fast food chain said in a statement published on social media.
The beef started when staff at the restaurant refused a "request from a very high profile special guest".
Restaurant staff told AFP that most of those arrested were young people, including many university students.
Following outcry among fans, nine police officers involved were suspended yesterday, senior provincial police official Inam Ghani said on Twitter.
"No one is allowed to take the law into his own hands," he said.
Pakistan's police officers are infamous for corruption and for demanding kickbacks from local businesses.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for a reform of Punjab's police force, saying "cronies" had been appointed by politicians to control police stations.

Police culture is universal. When I lived in Providence, RI in grad school, off-duty cops parked free at certain private lots to take their wives, girlfriends - maybe wives and girlfriends together - to restaurants and clubs. An out of state company bought the lots and started charging cops. Uniformed police showed up and smashed the gatekeeping kiosks across the city.

The city - not the police department - settled the case at taxpayer expense.

This was 2006.

This will happen in the US soon.

Some places (Like Chik Fil A & Ci Cis Pizza) feed cops for free so they get accustomed to the ass kissing and get all pissy when other places dont do the same or give discounts

This reminds me of the story about the cop that put a tampon in his coffee to get free coffee/attention, cops are basically Karens with a badge and a gun

This wasn't ok anyway but them arresting a bunch of minimum wage college student part time workers because of a decision made by the manager was really overkill

I hate when people take rheir anger out on underlings just doing their job and had nothing to do with the decision that pissed off the attacker. Like that story from a couple days ago where someone murdered a store clerk for telling them to put on a mask

request from a very high profile special guest

Apparently not high profile enough as they couldn't even afford to pay for a burger.
