Mesa police: 5-year-old boy calls 911 to order a kid'''s meal

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Police in a Phoenix suburb got a strange 911 call recently. A 5-year-old boy didn’t have an emergency; he just wanted to order a Happy Meal from McDonald’s.

A Mesa police officer delivered the food in person to the child, along with some advice about the proper time to use 911.
=========================================================
It's a good thing that the kid knew how to dial emergency services. The police did follow up with a welfare check & some additional instruction on calling emergency services.

Good thing it didn't happen in South Central LA. SWAT would have busted down the door, accidentally shot the kid, and arrested the neighbors.

Thats cute that he got him the meal and explained the proper use of 911. The way the world is nowdays I though they woulda gave the mom a 500$ fine or something.

It shows there are some good cops out there.

Recently all my run ins with police have been early twenty somethings and I have just really wanted to take them over my knee and teach them to respect their elders...

You must have this thing for the feel of handcuffs.
