Police chief Johnny O'Mara said it was 'another tiny pinprick into the heart of men and women' serving their community.
"What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town," wrote O'Mara.
"This cup of coffee for a 'pig' is just another little flag. It's another tiny symptom and a nearly indiscernible shout from a contemptuous, roaring and riotous segment of a misanthropic society that vilifies those who stand for what's right and glorifies the very people who would usher in the destruction of the social fabric," O'Mara continued.
"Just pour the coffee, please. Are we at a point where a task as simple as pouring an exceptionally overpriced cup of coffee is so complicated that it cannot be accomplished without 'expressing oneself?'" the police chief added. O'Mara wrote that he called the local Starbucks store and was told the coffee cup labels could be reprinted for the order if the customer returned to the store."The proverb 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me' came to mind," said the police chief.Channel 8 News
, a Starbucks spokesperson said:"This is absolutely unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to the law enforcement officer who experienced this. We have also apologized directly to him and we are working to connect with the police chief as well as to express our remorse."
