 PEMBROKE PINES (CBSMiami) – Is it an example of a diminished respect for police or a poor attempt at humor? That’s the question after a Pembroke Pines Police Officer alleged that an Arby’s employee refused to serve her because she’s a cop. WE'RE STILL WAITING ON OUR PHONE 
 
 PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - 
 
 The chief of police in Pembroke Pines has received an apology after one of his officers was denied service at a fast-food restaurant in the city. He said it was because he was so busy with other customers that he had to ask his manager for help. THEY HATE COPS TRENCH THE BOYCOTT OF A POPULAR FAST FOOD CHAIN HAS ALREADY STARTED AT THIS PEMBROKE PINES ARBY'S. We’re just trying to get people out of the drive thru.” 
 
 According to a police report on the incident, the police officer was told by the manager, “(Davenport) doesn’t want to serve you because you are a police officer.” 
 
 After that, the officer said she wasn’t certain she wanted to dine at the restaurant but the manager assured her everything was okay and handed the officer the food, according to the report. According to the report, Mirabal assured Martin that everything was OK, handed her the food and laughed while telling her that Davenport was allowed to refuse her service. That’s when the officer said she was unsure about the condition of her food, decided not to eat there and asked for a refund, the report states. Pembroke Pines police spokeswoman Amanda Conwell said a uniformed officer was denied service Tuesday night at the Arby's on Pines Boulevard. "I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner," Police Chief Dan Giustino said in a news release. Despite employees claiming to be unaware of the incident, a group of police officers' wives held a protest outside of the restaurant Wednesday. Broward County Police Benevolent Association President Jeff Marano said that the police union is calling for a national boycott of the fast-food chain. Terrell: AND PBA NOW WANTS A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER INSTEAD OF THE ONE GIVEN TO JUST THE CHIEF OF THE PEMBROKE PINES POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO GOT ONE TODAY FROM THE CEO OF ARBY'S. "It is unacceptable, and I will be contacting the Arby's CEO to demand an apology." The incident is considered to be isolated. “We are very proud of the partnerships we have built within our city, and for an incident like this to have happened is very disappointing for everyone,” said Chief Giustino. She said Arby's CEO Paul Brown and senior vice president of operations Scott Boatwright assured Giustino that the employee's behavior was "unacceptable and not representative of the company's values." Both men assured the chief, “the employee’s behavior was unacceptable and not representative of the company’s values,” according to police. However, Davenport's grandfather said his grandson was just making a joke to the officer. ANOTHER ONE WRITING, I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER EAT THERE AGAIN. "Chief Giustino was appreciative and accepted their apology and now considers this matter closed," Conwell said.
– A Florida police union is calling for a national boycott of Arby's after one of the restaurant's employees allegedly refused to serve an officer this week, CBS Miami reports. According to Local 10 News, 19-year-old Kenneth Davenport failed to serve Sgt. Jennifer Martin, who was in uniform and driving a patrol car according to USA Today, after she ordered in the drive-thru. Davenport's manager allegedly told Martin that Davenport didn't want to serve her because she was an officer and laughed while telling her Davenport had the right to not serve her, but then gave her the food himself. She was ultimately given a refund, though, after deciding she didn't want to eat the food. “I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner," the Pembroke Pines chief of police tells CBS. "It is unacceptable." In response to the alleged slight, officers' wives protested outside the restaurant today, and the Dade County Police Benevolent Association called for a boycott of Arby's until the employee or employees responsible are fired, Local 10 reports. "This is yet another example of the hostile treatment of our brave men and women simply because they wear a badge," according to a statement from the union president, who tells Local 10 he blames Obama for the lack of respect shown officers. Arby's executives have apologized to the chief of police.
