In the wake of this morning’s tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado<\/a>, Chick-fil-A is feeding the tireless police officers working the case. Breitbart.com’s Lee Stranahan learned of the fast food chain’s outreach earlier today via police radio<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The notice went out over the police radio at 4:45am Mountain Time that the restaurant had opened its doors to police and emergency workers to get a meal and use the facilities. Some double checked to see if the the restaurant was offering free food and that was confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n

@LScribbens<\/a> THEY didn't make a deal of it. I heard it on the police scanner and reported it.<\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A has been such a media punching bag lately, they deserve credit for helping out the police officers working on #AuroraShooting<\/a><\/p>\n

I. Hate. Bullies. And if Ben and Jerry's had opened their doors to the police, I'd have praised them, too. Deal with it, hateful left.<\/p>\n

A handful of vile Twitterers refused to put politics aside in the tragedy’s aftermath and seized the opportunity to condemn Chick-fil-A for its vocal support of traditional marriage<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n

$3M to fight marriage equality, but it's ok cuz they gave cops some chicken tenders and waffle fries? @m_mcaulay<\/a> @MaxGraham<\/a> @stranahan<\/a><\/p>\n

@stranahan<\/a> Yes because that makes up for all they've done wrong. giving away food to the cops. HAHA<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

@rachelveronica<\/a> @Stranahan<\/a> insulting to the victims to see someone try to push that chick fil a deserves a moment of credit. BARF<\/p>\n

Fortunately, most people had their priorities straight and rightly praised Chick-fil-A for its generosity:<\/p>\n\n\n

KUDOS!! @ChikfilA<\/a> serving emrgncy personnel in CO theater shooting! They also provided food here during a 4 day search 4 a lost autistic boy<\/p>\n

I think I want to eat at Chick-fil-a now after hearing how generous the local franchise is being in Colorado #batman<\/a> #shooting<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

@ChickfilA<\/a> opening doors to provide Aurora Colorado police at theatre shooting scene to be able to use restroom and get a bite to eat #bravo<\/a><\/p>\n
