If a criminal can be charged with murder for killing a police dog I demand the same charges in this case.

Call Mayor Bloomberg.
Maybe he’ll loan them the supplemental AC unit

So cruel, and preventable. They should be locked in a hot car and see what is feels like to slowly die.
That’s 4 K-9s died that way I’ve read about here in the last 2 months or so.
..more like tragic stupidity.
How is it if you or I -or joe citizen leaves a dog in a car -in the summertime it is a criminal offense -but if a cop does the same thing it’s just a tragic accident? Sort o f reminds me of the Workplace incident this Administration calls the Ft.Hood Jihad via Hasan.Can anybody say no accountability.
My guess is that this clown will keep his job and never serve a day.
And they are right.
“We’re going to look into and find out exactly what the circumstances were that led to Harley passing,” said Sergeant Chris Scott with the Des Moines Police Department.
You mean that you are going to search far and wide to find some lame excuse for a K9 officer to let his K9 fry to death while locked in his car. Have at it.
Apparently cops can kill other cops and its ok.
But we, you know, the subjects, simply cant.
Well, at least it wasn’t a human baby! But still a senseless act of evil.
I’ll save my outrage for children locked in cars.
Exactly.
“What Des Moines Police are calling a tragic accident”
Anyone else would be charged with animal abuse. And plus, they tell you that police dogs are “officers”. So there’s double the charges.
So here’s another case of selective enforcement of law.
I worked with a professional dog trainer. He actually went to a legitimate school to become one. He quoted me that on average, it cost $40,000 to train a police dog. I don’t know if that’s true, but if I were a tax payer in Iowa, aside from the horrible death, I’d be mad.
Tragic accident my ass.
Depraved indifference and criminal negligence sounds more like it.
Funny, if a bad guy kills a K-9, its treated as the homicide of a police officer in many jurisdictions. There was a case like this here in Da ‘Burgh several years ago where just that happened.
In fact they had the full police funeral, complete with honor guard, bagpipes, and the black electrical tape across the badges for a week.
Accident, yeah. It sounds like the only accident was allowing this moron onto the police force in the first place.
He;ll probably get promoted to Sergeant.
He killed a dog without wasting a police bullet. Such cost savings!
/s
We’re talking $40-$50 grand of the taxpayer’s money.
That’s what it costs to train one. At the very least every dime of that should all come out of this goofball’s paycheck.
BTW, this is a DOG thread, don’t hijack it with this abortion or “but its to protect the kiddies!” crap, Okay?
There is a place for everything.
