Salt is NOT "tampering". It's a normally edible substance.
Salt is a poison in high doses. Local woman was convicted of murder because she was mad at her daughter so she put salt in her grandson's bottle of formula, killing the child.

They were my favorite thing next to the original burgers, but only lasted a couple years out here.
I don't remember those, but I remember the McRib. It was too sweet for me.

HaHa.. yes good point. I would be more concerned with the fat calories
and why would you eat that crap if you were an officer anyway? You should be watching yourself/staying in shape.

They also get a free burger for lunch/dinner break. Perhaps she was hungry? She had already notified her coworkers, one of whom was probably the crew chief. The crew chief is responsible for making sure the food that goes out is up to standards.

Whip the thug on the courthouse lawn and rub salt in his wounds. Fair treatment for an enemy of the people.

One of the stupidest posts I have ever read.

You sound as arrogant as the cop who jailed the guy for salting his burger. What gives you the right to define who the "enemy of the people" is? Have some salt.

Authorities who abuse their position and violate citizens' rights are enemies of the people. This is a milder case than many. Many citizens have lost their lives to these thugs.

There are certainly bad cops, but that generalization doesn't work.

Would you abolish the police?
Trade these thugs in for new thugs (ones not named police)?
Better pyschological screening of academy applicants?
