“Wanna be thug now has 23 years behind bars think about this and how he should of taken off leaving dog and officer alone.I for one am happy with him getting 23 years. “
Oh, please. All this is is another example of Them being better than Us. I’m all for throwing the book for criminals, but this is ridiculous. Punish the crime a person did equally. If the punishment if fit for an offense against a cop, it should be so for all citizens. You think he’d get that if he did it to John Doe Non Cop? He shot a dog. Cops do that every day without censure.
All the time, cops are screwing up and harming innocent people, and never pay. Then for a relatively minor crime, they toss the book at this guy?
It sounds like some on here aren’t aware that K-9s are the same as human cops - even those retired. So, in essence, this little criminal shot and maimed a police officer. That’s probably why he got the book thrown at him. Plus, the route he’s taking - he’ll just be in and out of the system the rest of his life anyway.
