Officer’s Chick-fil-A comments investigated
DALLAS - A controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has come to light at Dallas police headquarters.
Dallas Police Association President Ron Pinkston said Sgt. Mark Johnson of the Southeast Patrol Division brought a Chick-fil-A sandwich to the briefing room last Wednesday.
It was the same day thousands of people across the country went to the restaurant chain as part of an effort to show support for the CEO’s stand against gay marriage.
Two lesbian officers filed complaints against the sergeant. They said his comments and actions left them embarrassed and humiliated.
Sgt. Johnson, who has been with the department for 12 years, was transferred. The internal affairs department is investigating the complaints.
“The bottom line is we had a sergeant who has been transferred because he brought a Chick-fil-A sandwich to work. And he was transferred without due process,” Pinkston said.
Attorney Clint David said once an employer receives a complaint of harassment, the employer has to act on that.
“They have to take reasonable steps to stop that otherwise they can be responsible,” he said.
The investigation could take up to two or three weeks.

Officer’s Chick-fil-A comments investigated
Maybe there’s something I am missing here, I can’t view the video in the original story for some reason, and the title of the story says “Officer’s Chick-fil-A comments investigated” but the story says nothing about comments, at least not that I can find.
Did Johnson make an *off-color* comment to the lesbian officers? Did they make a comment to Johnson and he responded? I don’t know, but that would be a good thing to see in print!
If what I eat happens to give a couple of lesbians a problem, maybe they need to think about the problem some folks have with what THEY eat. Just sayin’… 
Maybe bringing a Chick-Fil-A sandwich to briefing wasn’t a political statement at all, for what it’s worth, maybe the guy just likes Chick-Fil-A, maybe it was just what he wanted to eat, maybe he was just hungry.
What has gone WRONG with this world? How can less than 4% of the American population be allowed to force their perverted lifestyle and disgusting behavior off on the rest of us?
And WHY are we allowing them to pass themselves off as NORMAL human beings?
I’ll tell you why; it’s the cancer that is destroying this nation, The Cancer of Political Correctness, a disease that I do NOT suffer from!
It was once called being QUEER! And it’s still QUEER in my not so humble opinion.
I don’t care what you do, how you do it or who you do it with, in the privacy of YOUR home, but don’t bring that sick BS into MY life and try to make me out as a QUEER hating basher just because I eat a Chick-Fil-A sandwich.
Wow. Now that’s a Queer story.
It happened in Texas????!?! What?!?
That sure is queer indeed.
Oh well. I’m kinda hungry for Chick Fil-A now. Better get one while I still can.
Bluto, it happened at the Dallas Police Department, one of the most *touch-feely* politically correct places in the nation…
The leadership, yeah, leadership, of the DPD would be more at home in San Francisco… Dallas County isn’t a lot better, but it’s because of Dallas proper… Dallas is Libber Central for North Texas, tons of QUEERS, QUEER Sheriff of Dallas County too, a Hispanic lesbian Sheriff… I would say she sucks but somehow, that just doesn’t sound right… She is pathetic…
And the MINORITY led DPD is a joke… Nothing more than a joke… Even when it wasn’t *minority led* it was a joke, the last WHITE Chief was far too PC to be a Police Officer… But PCness, and color are how you advance at the DPD now a days… Ability is not a factor, how many PSI can you pull in suction mode is..
“If what I eat happens to give a couple of lesbians a problem, maybe they need to think about the problem some folks have with what THEY eat.”
Quote of the month, Fred.
I knew someone would catch that Bob…
Damn! He beat me too it! First thing that popped into my mind was “Fred is in major pun mode!”
LMAO!
OK, here’s the video and STILL no word on who said what… This is PURE BULLSHIT on the part of the Dallas PD and it’s less than police friendly leadership… Yeah, leadership…
This is insane. I am so sick of gay and lesbian people being entitled to their rights, but conservative christians aren’t? How about a man who just wanted a Chick-Fil-A sandwich??
This just makes me mad!
I refuse to call em GAY… It’s NOT GAY, it’s QUEER, homosexual, and a lot of other names that I am going to avoid using.. GAY is happy, I will NOT bastardize the word GAY!
I like the biblical word: Sodomite
Lt. Col Allen West bought Chick-Fil-A for the Congressional Black Caucus when it was his turn to spring for lunch. This happened six months before this BS about Chick-Fil-A came about. Now, impeached Federal Judge and worthless POS Alcee Hastings, D-Fla, says they were all offended about being served Chick-Fill-A. Funny thing the whole caucus finished every bite.

I’m surprised that ass-wipe Hastings didn’t demand reparations for it…
Love the “Quote of the Month”, Fred, hee, hee!
Here is my 2 Pesos (Sorry, I live in the county seat of Orange County, in SoCal, the most Hispanic city in the county, with an Hispanic Council, and an Hispanic Mayor who has held office for about 18 years, I think.)….
I want to know more about what he said to piss off the Lesbian coppers.
Did THEY say something that he responded to, and if so what?
If all he did was bring in a sandwhich, and express some simple support for free speech, and religious beliefs, when approached, then why punish him in any way?
I agree with you. Calling the people who practice a private bedroom activity that most folks in society consider to be queer, odd, bizarre, and not healthy…”Gay” is one more sign of Political Correctness run amuk….
Keep your private sex life private, don’t publically flaunt it, with parades and kiss-ins, where the behavior of the more, um, politically vocal, is on display in front of minors, or try to punish people at the slightest perceived offense.
It will be interesting to see how this developes, especially once the MSM get ahold of it nationally.
I have no problem with Homosexuals as long as they don’t force their lifestyle down my throat.
Back in the 80′s and 90′s , when I was a bookstore manager, I had 2 very different long time customers I considered friends…
1 was white, tall, skinny, and the sissyest, swishyest man you’d ever wanna meet, and an aids activist whose smoking, along with a case of aids, led to his death at a young age.
He didn’t go out of his way to force you to accept him, and his preferences.
The other guy was black, heaveyset, and 15 years or so older than me.
He was the very respected head librarian of our city library, and no-one new he was Homosexual, as far as I know because he kept it hidden so deep that I knew to keep his favorite mags behind the counter, and bagged for when he was readfy to make his purchases.
If anyone ever found out he could have lost his job. I think his secret was still safe when he finally died.
It’s frustrating to me to see a minority of this 4% segment of the population raising constant PC stinks at the slightest drop of a hat.
See?? That was so hard to do now was it??
Glad you made it over here, please feel free to comment and don’t hold back!
Reminds me of Oceanside in the 70′s. Faggots, Gang Banger reps at City Council, and the list went on… And on!
On a flight out of South Africa several years ago, there was a black gentleman who was already seated when a white lady came aboard and sat in the seat next to him. He raised a stink, called for the stewardess, and complained vocally about having to sit next to a member of the oppressing species, demanding to be moved, so on and so on.
After discussing with the pilot, the stewardess returned to the two, and said “It is unfortunate that this seating arrangement has occurred. As it is the policy of this airline to make sure our passengers are comfortable, and agree that the two of you should not be seated next to each other, we will be moving you” as she looked to the lady, “up to first class.”
What does this have to do with the story? Improve the lot of the one being complained about often enough, and the complainers will quit complaining because they won’t be getting rewarded for their complaining.
I agree, let’s hear what the comments were and who made them.
And that is a great quote, Fred. Pardon me for not using it in the message at church this week.
What about other perverted sickos and their tender sensibilities? Are chicken-f*ckers offended by a Chick-Fil-A sandwich? Or do they just become aroused?
Well, however they react, we must completely change the fabric of our society to cater to their insecurities. It’s the “PC” way. They aren’t just happy bending over themselves, they need to get every last one of us to grab our ankles and bite the pillow.
Several years before I retired, I had a civil rights claim filed on me by 2 lesbian officers.
They were slackers and they knew it.
Everyone tracked them, and I even caught them outside their patrol area, together.
Their filing on me took a lot of time to finally get it removed.
Had to read the “diversity training manual again!
Passed 100%,,,,again!
From then on, I called them LEBANESE. Lebanese this and that.
That caught on throughout the Service, and everyone started using it when mentioned.
Both lebanesers resigned 8 months later, when one sent a photo by e-mail and pushed REPLY ALL on the keypad,,,,instead of reply only.
It was seen by 37,000 Federal LEO’s.
The photo of one of them doing a number on another chick did not go over well!!
Case was dismissed and all records sealed!
These days,,,,,, I still use the word Lebanese as a habit.
I found NOTHING about “comments” in either the story or the video.
IF the Sgt was transferred by solely bringing a sandwich to work with no concomitant “comments” found to be “offensive,” he has the makings of an absolutely excellent suit. If it were me, I wouldn’t go for the Big Pockets of the department only — I’d name very specific PERSONS as well. TWO very specific persons.

This is what I want to know…. What comments did the female officers make about the chicken sandwich or did Sgt. Johnson come in making comments or was the man just eating a chicken sandwich? IMO, when Sgt. Johnson is cleared, the female officers should be fired or transferred for their harassment of Sgt. Johnson & Sgt. Johnson should be transferred back to his original position.
Well AA, that’s just it, no one knows WHAT was said… The DPD is punishing SGT Johnson simply because… Because of what? Who knows…
I think BZ said it best, this is a law suit looking for someone to pay off, and a lot of money too…
I talked to your brother a while ago, he wants to comment but is too angry, he said his comment is in *compose* mode and he can’t get past the *F* word, several times…
Were they offended that his name is Sgt. “Johnson”?
Ya know, that may be it… LMAO
Ya can’t make this shit up. “A pair of lesbians are offended by a Johnson. News at 11″
You are still as crazy as ever, and THAT is why I love ya like a brother!!
