Ballsy Employee Bumped ‘F*ck Tha Police’ While Officers Ate Lunch

NWA’s ‘F*ck tha Police’ is about as blunt of a song as there is in music. There’s no flowery lyricism, with metaphors that elude to a certain feeling. It was pure rage from the legendary hip-hop group who felt discontent with law enforcement.

It’s not exactly a theme that’s restaurant-friendly, so it probably wasn’t an accident that the song was blaring through the speakers while a group of police officers ate at Going’s BBQ & Steak Co., in Crosby, Texas.

The Facebook post has since been deleted, but according to the Houston Chronicle, Deputy Shane Cates posted about the incident, saying:

“The guy washing dishes was singing the song and pointing out towards the eating area. He turned and noticed me standing there and started laughing. I was completely shocked and thought surely no one was doing that as a dig on cops.”

The dishwasher was fired, and Going’s BBQ publicly apologized through Facebook:

Deputy Cates then apologized for accusing management of not caring about the situation. He said a language barrier led to miscommunication, but they have since worked things out:

If this worker pointed and cursed at me, there definitely would have been some problems, so good on the officers for not losing their cool. As far as the dishwasher firing, there’s probably more effective forms of protest out there. He literally achieved nothing by doing this, and will probably struggle to find a job going forward.

The dust has settled, however, and there are no hard feelings between the police and the restaurant.

It’s crazy to see NWA is still causing a ruckus 28 years later.
