I just went back and looked at this again.
She mentions the corner she's at, but nothing more. She's not wearing a badge but wearing the radio, which would mean she's still in uniform. The mike cable is over the star on her shirt, so we can't read it. Also, she's on the passenger seat according to her seat belt.

And another Twitter account, which is now locked to private, doxxed the staff at the McDs.
I kinda hope it is a fake, cause someone who appears so emotional fragile should not carry weaponry in public.

[edit] On the other hand, the mike does seem to be reversed - it seems to be a Motorola model, and the logo and push to talk button are on the wrong side.

Why am I even going on this? Just because we get so much misinformation these days.
