“I don’t care if they found a dismembered corpse in the trunk amidst a pile of kilo bricks of cocaine — leaving the dog to wander into interstate traffic could have caused one or more traffic fatalities from someone swerving to miss the dog.”
Yes. Exactly.
There is a strange leftist psychology at work here where it is comforting to people,on these threads to think cops are totally corrupt and never ever do anything that is not purposeful abuse of fully innocent people.
Dog should not have been left in this way (assuming it’s true) no matter what the circumstances.
Just based on the media reports of *clearly* abusive behavior wherein the offending officers are never held responsible as a civilian would be given the same circumstances — I would think it is more than safe to say that any modern encounter with a LEO is a coin-flip as to whether you will deal with a level-headed Andy Griffith or a knee-jerk, badge-heavy, abusive Barney Fife. Not saying all cops are bad, but there does seem to be an ever increasing number of reports of bad cops. One has to wonder how long do we have until they outnumber the good ones?
I wouldn’t characterize it as “strange leftist psychology” when all that is needed to come to the common-sense judgement is mere casual observation.
