[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2272413, member: 12952"] [URL="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article90473732.html"]A cop says he was refused service at a gas station. Now the clerk is paying for that decision[/URL] [SIZE=6][B]A cop says he was refused service at a gas station. Now the clerk is paying for that decision [/B][/SIZE] The Miramar police officer walked in to a Sunoco, 1700 S. Douglas Rd., Sunday afternoon to buy a drink. In an incident report the officer filed , he said a man with dreads approached him and asked why the officer arrested his “boy.” “Y’all got my boy in the back of that car outside the gas station,” the man told the officer, according to the report. The uniformed officer wouldn’t answer questions about the arrested man and walked away. When he made his way to the counter to buy his drink and found the same man behind the cash register with the window closed. The Miramar cop knocked on the window, trying to get the cashier’s attention. “Hey, can you ring me up?” the officer asked. “I need to pay for my Gatorade.” “No,” the man answered. He wouldn’t ring the cop up and “you know why,” he said. The officer asked again, and the cashier refused. Instead, he asked the officer to “get out of my way. I need to attend to customers.” The line behind the cop had grown, so he let them go first. After the four customers had paid he asked one more time to buy his drink. One more time the cashier told him no. When asked why he wouldn’t serve a police officer, the cashier told him, “Because I don’t have to, that’s why.” The clerk, [URL='http://www.local10.com/news/sunoco-gas-station-fires-clerk-who-denied-service-to-miramar-police-officer-']who spoke to Local10[/URL], told the station he denied the officer service because of his attitude, not his uniform. "Only because he was being rude to me," the clerk said. "Only because he was being rude and I explained that." He said he has nothing against law enforcement and has never had an incident with cops, but when he asked the officer for information about his arrested friend, the cop cut him off. "He just said 'ain't none of your damn business.'" [/QUOTE]
