tell me your views?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070909/ap_on_fe_st/odd_salty_burger;_ylt=AhGf1MffZhE.Srt4gzYgVlus0NUE

Answer 1

I think the officer abused his power by arresting the girl. But I do know that excessive salt could kill a person with heart problems, diabetes, blood pressure problems, and pregnancy, so it was a silly thing to keep and use the oversalted meat. It should have been thrown out, not "thumped to remove it". The restaurant could have afforded the loss.

Answer 2

First of all, it was not too much salt ON a burger. If you read the article you will see that a container of salt spilled INTO the meat from which many burgers were made. Depending on how much salt there was, it could have been quite dangerous for some. That is why the individual was arrested -- charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."

I doubt it was a felony and if only a misdemeanor she'll get credit for time served and it will be over. Must've been some huge amount of salt since fast food burgers are already bursting with it. How do you tell the difference?

Answer 3

From where I sit, she told her supervisor who should have taken steps to remove the bad product. The supervisor was the one who authorized the serving of the bad hamburger. They knowingly served a potentially harmful product to the public.

Answer 4

Shameless abuse of power. I tried to send an email to the police department, but it's not posted. I'll be calling on Monday to let them have my 'two cents'.

Answer 5

That police officer is stupid!
