A Cavalcade of "Only Ones"

I received quite a few "Only Ones" tips yesterday, and because of time constraints decided to consolidate them into one post.

We're the Only Ones Hot Dogging It Enough, Part II

A suburban police officer is accused of leaving a police dog in a patrol car for more than 12 hours on a 109-degree day, killing the animal.
Looks like they finally booked him. Part I is here.

We're the Only Ones Mixing Kids and Guns Enough

Sentenced to probation for shooting two cars and holding police at bay for seven hours during a psychotic episode that ended with a trip to the mental-health ward and the discovery of child pornography on his computer, retired state trooper Stanley W. Foss III had one question for Judge John S. Kennedy.

He wanted to know if the judge would lower the felony child pornography charge to a misdemeanor "so I could keep my weapons."
Y'know, as a professional courtesy--kind'a like getting probation for crimes that would get us non-"Only Ones" either put away or put under...

We're the Only Ones Distributing Enough

A former Lebanon Junction police sergeant has pleaded guilty in U.S. district court to charges that he planned to distribute OxyContin, law enforcement officials said yesterday.
I wonder how many drug arrests he participated in during his seven years in law enforcement?

We're the Only Ones Losing It Enough

Lowell police are asking for the public's help in locating a missing -- and most likely unloaded -- .40-caliber Beretta after a veteran officer apparently misplaced the handgun over the weekend.
Hey, we're always glad to help out here at WarOnGuns:

We're the Only Ones Who, When We Do Shooters, Really Do Shooters Enough
She was sitting in a lounge chair in the living room of her Oak Street home, watching television, when the round ripped through a screen on an open bathroom window, rattling off walls and doors and hitting about 4 feet over her head, showering her with pieces of plasterboard as she ducked in fear...

Shots were still being fired when an officer arrived at their home, said Police Chief James Downes.

Police say those shots came from a nearby house, at 800 Main St., where two law-enforcement officers were allegedly drinking.
And are you ready for the best part? Aside from the responding officer reaching the victims' house with weapon drawn because he wasn't sure if they were the ones doing the shooting?
Downes declined to identify the two men linked to the shooting because criminal charges have not been filed. A source said one of the men works for the Reading Police Department and the other for the Middlesex Sheriff's Office.

"They were law-enforcement officials, and their agencies were called to take administrative action," Downes said.
I love how the drunken, sociopathic hired help consider themselves to be "officials." Besides, it's not like they endangered the lives of anyone important. I wonder what kind of "administrative action" they'd have taken against non-"Only Ones"?

Now just a damn minute here. There are some venues in this country where harm to a police dog is prosecuted the very same way as if the harm had been inflicted on a human police officer.

Why didn't they charge him with killing a police officer?
