The town's chief of police shares it on social media and it goes viral. Starbucks cannon fires the barista and apologizes to the first responders and the chief.
Enter the chief's daughter. She actually comes to the defense of the workers of Starbucks and slams her father for being a "PIG." She said that he's a dead-beat and racist. She said he has "no business being a police officer."
This police chief who went to Fox News to complain about how progressives, Black Lives Matter and Starbucks disrespected cops.
Johnny O’Mara took to Facebook Thursday after one of his officers made a Thanksgiving coffee run as a treat for the department’s dispatchers — and came away with the insult.
“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,” O’Mara wrote.
It was his daughter who exposed her father as a lying sack of shit who wore the uniform to terrorize people of color.

The officer, a member of the Kiefer police department, went to the Starbucks in Glenpool to pick up five drinks as a show of thanks for 911 dispatchers working during the holiday.
Kiefer is about 20 miles south of Tulsa.
When the officer got his order, and saw the word "PIG" was printed on the cups' labels, he contacted the police chief, who called the store and spoke to a manager.
O'Mara uploaded an image of one of the cups on Facebook on Thursday, prompting a response from Starbucks.
"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," O'Mara wrote in the post that was widely shared and has since been taken down. O'Mara said the store manager offered to reprint the computer-generated labels.
O'Mara also said in the Facebook post that the label "pig" is "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."
The officer told ABC affiliate KTUL TV that the barista contacted him, apologized and said it was meant as a joke.
In a statement Friday, Starbucks said it had apologized to the officer and that the employee who printed the labels with the "offensive word" used poor judgment and was fired for violating company policy.
"This language is offensive to all law enforcement and is not representative of the deep appreciation we have for police officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe," Starbucks said.
