When they were getting that it was in part because of MacDonalds belief that it was, in a small way, saying thank you, and in part because most franchises that I knew of at the time were owned by former Police.

Maccas used to have a pretty good relationship with the local cops when I was there. If we had a drunk driver in the drive through, we would stall them slightly so a cop could get close, they would tail them for a bit until they were away from the shop, then pull them over for a test. That way the shop did not get targeted for tipping them off.

Not sure what the story is now.

McDonald's saying thank you? Or getting cheap security patrols?

What's the difference between cops in uniform being given half price, or free McDonald's and a half price, or free blow job from a whore?

Why should cops be given discounts just because they're cops? Surely anyone giving something away at a discount expects 'something' in return.

Smacks of corru.......favoritism.

Thought this might be relevent.

From the article:
**************
Arming police officers also led to more offenders arming themselves in response, he said.

"I think we've seen that a lot recently – that the police who have been targeted by armed offenders, they're shooting at them rather than shooting at members of the public.

"[Offenders] seem to be arming themselves against the police because of that, because they know that they themselves are armed."
**************
I'd like to know where this information has come from as offenders aren't arming themselves because of the police, they arm themselves due to other criminals firstly as there are no rules when it comes to dealing with other criminals who are bent on ripping you off, taxings, intimadation etc.

Criminals arm themselves because other criminals are arming themselves!

When criminals deal with the police they know the police have duties, obligations, procedures, guidelines to follow however they will arm themselves and use firearms against police because they know there's a 90% chance the police they target or interact with at the time aren't armed and they will shoot at police because it's the police who are trying to apprehend them... not the public!

Do you hold the same view on all the emergency services which include Ambulance & Fire who get discounts or just the Police?

There was never any cheap patrols or any expectations of them. It was mostly former police trying to be nice to their former colleagues. We picked up rubbish of all sorts (Not just from our store) and we picked it up right around the WHOLE BLOCK. Not because we expected the supermarket to even notice, but because as a business we felt it was a good thing to do. In part a lot of the rubbish was generated but twats in cars in the carpark, but it did not stop us picking up beer cans, bottles and nappies etc. Does that mean in your eyes the supermaret is "corrupt...?

We are lucky in this country that the levels of corruption are low. And besides would you think to do an extra patrol past a maccas cos you got a free feed? By the sound of it you would.

Now if he had used his DF discounts anywhere over the years, would he admit the hypocrisy, or blame it on getting his pills mixed up again?

I used to work at maccas, and I figured the half price thing was a marketing thing, looking like good buggers. Or doing a good deed etc.
Probably a bit of both.

Anyone who did a burnout in the drive through got lots of extras on my shift.
I feel bad for the old neighbors now.... Sorry who ever you were!

10 seconds searching on Google shows this from a few years ago:

Police may be disciplined for discounted food

The Police Commissioner Peter Marshall has threatened to discipline any staff who accept cheap hamburgers and fast food while they're in uniform.

Police officers should pay full price or walk away if the food outlet insists they accept a discount, he says.

His instruction has come after 3 News revelations that police in uniform have been routinely accepting such perks.

A special button on McDonald's tills gives police cheap burgers and it's been getting a work-out.

Mr Marshall sent a letter to staff laying down the law about accepting discounts.

"It is totally inappropriate for a police officer in uniform to consider receiving discounted food from any outlet. In nearly 41 years of service I have never placed myself in that position, a position that cheapens the standing of New Zealand police," the letter says.

"We should not receive a discount for simply doing our job. Retailers have clear motivation in offering such discounts - simply to attract law enforcement officers to their premises."

The relationship between police and McDonald's is long-standing. Many will remember an advertisement where non-sworn officer Ronald McDonald reminds viewers to "make it click".

That deal ended six years ago, but the discount did not despite police back then vowing to stamp it out.

McDonald's worker Siddhata Vyas says police officers normally come in to the restaurant during weekends and weekend mornings "because we've got quite a few drunk people so they come in and deal with that and then expect the free meal".

Since the revelations were made 3 News has been contacted by a number of fast food workers about police accepting cheap or free food, not only burgers but pizzas, fried chicken, and sandwiches too.
And last night a former police officer wrote in saying she'd found it distasteful and unprofessional when former colleagues accepted what amounted to fast food backhanders. She said the restaurants, mainly McDonald's, were equally to blame dishing out discounts to get free security.

So in the latest incident were the projectiles that went through a second story window and garage ricochets or miss place shots? Is that calibre and projectile actually suitable for this type of use?

A paint ball gun springs to mind with each cop in the team with different coloured balls making it easy to sort out the bad shots

Your like Mike CAHILL on ZB avoiding the question with something else and yes google will show that and as mentioned earlier police no longer receive discounts as it went out years ago so i'll ask the question again.
