A social media post is claiming a Windsor Police Services officer was refused service at a local fast food restaurant in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement.

When the officer pulled up to the window, they claim they had paid for their order but were later informed by the manager that staff members refused to prepare their food.
The officer then took a photo of two staff members kneeling behind the counter; the manager is slightly out of the frame allegedly providing a refund.
Conflicting accounts of the story claim the officer did receive the food, but returned it and asked for a refund after two staff members took a knee.
