Family members claim they called police for help Wednesday morning, but when officers arrived, they were treated like criminals and an officer shot and killed their family dog. [More]That'll teach 'em!
And my favorite bit of reader comment apologia:
This all boils down to a simple point that you're missing: one cop is worth 4 or 5 civilians and a dog's life isn't worth squat.[Via M. Terry]
But Barlow was arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including insulting an officer. Police say the officer acted appropriately when shooting the dog.
ReplyDelete"Insulting an officer" is now a crime?! Can it get any worse? What is it going to take before citizens insist these morons be reined in.
Oh, dear. Did I just insult an officer?
The usual disclaimer applies, of course, and I don't imply that all cops are morons.
Unless that dog is a K-9 po' lice dog. Then his life is equal in value to that of a cop, and heaven help you if you hurt said K-9!
ReplyDeleteSimple....kill my dog??
ReplyDeleteI find out where the K-9 units live.....
Extrapolate from there....
Escalation; 'insulting' now a chargeable offense...All I have to do is look at one of these pukes and he/she will consider him/herself insulted.
ReplyDeleteMy patience wears thin.
