      We’re all human here. No false equivalence. Abuse of power and wrongdoing happen regardless of the chosen career.

      You should stop discriminating between people. We ain’t that different, no matter how much some would love to paint it true.

          Because it’s not given to them.

          But really, how many food service workers spit or throw snot in the food they serve? How many with infectious disease contaminate what unknowing victims eat? Not many, maybe 10 out of 1000, maybe less.

          But yeah, that’s false equivalence because it ain’t exactly the same thing. It’s not abuse of power and wrongdoing in the exact same way so it doesn’t qualify. Gotta give retailers guns so they shoot customers instead. That’s when we’ll be allowed to compare the two.

            Got any sources for your food tampering claims?

            And can you back those claims up with the evidence of all the other fast food workers defending the “bad apples,” or, at the very least, remaining silent re your food tampering claims?

            And how about that massive fat food workers union litigating for and defending said food tampering?

            Cos, i can point to MOUNTAINS of evidence of the police doing all of that.

            Sweetheart, no matter how much you love and lick those boots, they’ll never love you back.

              Wow, how condescending can you even get…

              And also amazing how you claim it’s a false equivalency (yes, one is much more serious than the other, that doesn’t make it a false equivalency), and then continue on the comparison and then actually turn it into a false equivalency. Because a police officer shooting someone will make it into the news. Someone spitting into someone’s food will not - and that’s assuming it’s even noticed.
