Gov. Brian Kemp has hit Stacey Abrams over her comments regarding wanting to cut funding for the police during their election battle for Governor of Georgia. Now she’s trying to run away from those prior comments, even calling for a pay rise for cops.
There’s no doubt that cops including those in Georgia have to deal with a lot of situations and can use all the support they can get. That’s been sorely lacking from the left, particularly over the past couple of years.
But the situation with which they had to deal this week was — in a word — unusual.
It would seem a logical thing that if you’re wanted for murder, you might want to avoid encounters with the police.
Antoine Sims, 24, had a warrant out on him for felony murder in a case where he was accused of setting a car on fire with a woman’s body inside.
But Sims must have wanted some hot McDonald’s fries. Sims, who was on the run from police in Georgia, got upset when he ordered fries at a McDonald’s and they were cold. So he called 911 after he got into a dispute with the McDonald’s employees.
“So now our food is sitting there cold,” he explained to the officer, per the report. “So when I come up, I try the fries. The fries are lukewarm, but they’re not hot.”
Sims demanded a replacement order of fries, not a refund. Then he fought with management. FOX 5 reported that management demanded Sims leave the restaurant. Both parties then called the police. Later, Sims told police that he cursed the restaurant and then threw his orders at them.
“I don’t ever want him back here,” the manager told the officer, per the report. “I mean, dude’s obviously on probation (out on bond) — got an ankle bracelet on.”
Sims was told by officers that he could not re-enter the restaurant. They also asked Sims to sign a criminal forfeiture notice. They also requested dispatch run Sims’ information through crime databases which made him visibly “agitated,” a police report said.
When they called him over to sign the trespass notice, that’s when he finally realize that calling the police wasn’t going to turn out well for him. The police were right behind him and he suddenly became suspicious. But it wasn’t going to end well.

Finally, a cop caught up with him and put him under arrest. The high-pitched sounds of his shrieks made it quite interesting to listen.
People on social media couldn’t believe he called the police when he was wanted for murder.

Not only was he charged on the outstanding warrant, but he also got an obstruction charge and a possession of marijuana charge when they found pot in his fiancee’s car.
The moral of this story? Don’t call the police when your fries are cold if you’re wanted for murder.
