Is the cop having a meltdown at McD's a fake?

I just went back and looked at this again.

She mentions the corner she's at, but nothing more. She's not wearing a badge but wearing the radio, which would mean she's still in uniform. The mike cable is over the star on her shirt, so we can't read it. Also, she's on the passenger seat according to her seat belt.

[edit] Or maybe not a cop but a security guard. That patch is embroidered.

1. Good points.

2. If it is a fake, it pulled in alot of people

There is this tweet

And another Twitter account, which is now locked to private, doxxed the staff at the McDs.



I kinda hope it is a fake, cause someone who appears so emotional fragile should not carry weaponry in public.

5. Who took the video?

8. It is possible to angle a cell phone so it isn't visible as you record yourself

If it is a hoax video, it is a well done one

7. Sure it pulled in a lot of people. That was the whole point.

3. "You deserve a break today at McDonald's...

We do it all for you. "

4. Probably isn't passenger seat - Just a flipped video

Selfie mode reverses the image.

6. Good point, but

you can see her lips moving in step with what she's saying.

[edit] On the other hand, the mike does seem to be reversed - it seems to be a Motorola model, and the logo and push to talk button are on the wrong side.

Why am I even going on this? Just because we get so much misinformation these days.

10. Also...

the badge is normally worn on the left side over one's heart. Some uniforms have sown appliques or screen printed badges, I have seen it even in the NPS.
