The power of social media again has a big impact. This time the netizen's anger was ignited when he saw a police video drove the homeless from McDonald's.
Fox News reported (2/3) a customer invites homeless men to eat to McDonald's but it gets treated unpleasantly. This treatment then he recorded and post to his Facebook.
As a result though newly posted, this video immediately became viral. Many netizens regretted the treatment of police officers who expelled the homeless when he was eating.
The story is recorded by Yossi Gallo, a customer who is also the person who invites these homeless to eat at McDonald's. Gallo initially sees a bum guy by the side of the road, then takes him to eat.
"I waved and asked, 'hey are you hungry?' then he answered 'yes', "Gallo told WBNF News. "Finally I took him to McDonald's but the waitress there immediately told him if he could not get the food."
Then Gallo immediately began recording this incident. In the video, Gallo has started arguing with the restaurant management. They made a fuss about this and a waiter called the police officer.
Gallo angry get this kind of treatment, especially when police officers come. The female police officer drove the homeless man from inside the restaurant even though he was eating.
"He did not ask for food, I brought him here, you sucks," Gallo said aloud.
But the restaurant replied by telling Gallo silence. "Put on your voice," said one of the restaurant employees.
"This is the way I speak, my voice is great, if you are disturbed, will you also report me and arrest me?" continued Gallo.
Myrtle Beach police captain Joey Crosby said via email that the officer came to the restaurant after receiving a phone call from the restaurant. The contents of his report relate to a man who often asks for money in the parking lot.
Gallo and the homeless man vehemently rejected the allegations in the recorded video.
Joel Pellicci Jr., owner of McDonald's said that this is a problem that happened several times in his restaurant.
"In my restaurant, the goal is to provide a positive and good experience to our customers every time they visit.Unfortunately, the person in this video has a history of annoying behavior and has been asked to leave the restaurant area by management and police on several occasions."
But since it was posted on Wednesday morning, this video immediately got a booming response. More than 42 million netizens have seen this video and most are calling for a boycott of this restaurant.
Several other netizens defended police officers who were thought to be performing only duties. The comment column was even flooded with bad reviews about restaurants and lots of praise for Gallo.
