HAMMOND, La. — Several Dairy Queen employees have been fired after insulting deputies who came in to eat.
Witnesses told WBRZ that deputies stopped in for food Saturday when the kitchen staff called them “pigs” and said all officers were “crooked.” The deputies asked for their money back and left. The manager told the employees to keep their comments to themselves.
Dairy Queen posted on Facebook Monday that the employees had been fired.

“Our relationship with the Hammond community is of the utmost importance and we respect and support our HPD/TPSO officers,” the restaurant wrote. “We do not tolerate any derogatory behavior towards officers or any customers.”
Dairy Queen wrote on Facebook Tuesday that they were holding a “Law Enforcement Appreciation Day” Wednesday where all uniformed officers would receive a free meal and treat.
The police department has not commented on the incident.
