  To be fair, the employee was fired.

    Should just transfer them to another one in the next town over after a paid 3 month leave.

    And they stand a much greater chance of going to jail.

    Sure, and that’s great…but the topic is ‘de-escalation skills’. I’m just pointing out the obvious irony.

      Low reading comprehension skills, eh? The point is not the de-escalation skills. The point is that cops don’t have to face consequences for murder.

        …says the person who lacks the skills needed to read the title of the original post.

  Guess what? That single incident is in no way indicative of an overall tendency. Hundreds if not thousands of cops needlessly shooting people every single year, though? THAT’S a significant data point!

  Believe it or not, shooting customers is against company policy at most fast food chains.

    So you are saying that their de-escalation skills were not better than police?

    • BassTurd@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I’d say that the one case you have of a fast food worker shooting someone is not the same as the plethora of cases of police shooting people. More importantly though and the true subtext of this post, is that this employee got fired, arrested, and charged with murder instead of a receiving a paid vacation and a transfer to a new McDonalds two counties over.

  I wonder how many cops have shot and killed people in that time period?

  I wonder if there are more McDonald’s employees than cops?

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I wonder how many of those cops faced murder charges?

    source

    • PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Or got any real disciplinary measures

  One case of a violent McDonald’s employee VS how many unnecessary violent cops?

  source

  • krayj@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I’m just pointing out the hilariously poor timing.

    If you are going to claim that McDonald’s employees have superior de-escalation skills to police…the absolute worst time to try and make that claim is fresh after a McDonalds employee murders a customer and the national news is still talking about it.

      Show me anywhere near as many examples of McDonald’s employees failing to deescalate a situation as what’s in one week of reports posted in that comm.

      What you’re trying to point out is just flat out dumb, im sorry.

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world

      Indeed. People fall prey to availability heuristic / bias all the time.

  Didn’t get a paid vacation for it.

• Shialac@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  And how many people did the cops murder in that time?
