i bet those badgelickers are cops, ex-cops or have cops in their families.

i had cops in my family and i know what it’s like. i am not a fan of their brotherhood and the lying for each other, and for trumped charges, and for “officer courtesy” getting out of crap cops skewer regular peons for.

I wish we had a better story tp help and understand the outcome.

Echlin says Apollo had run out of the front door. Hometown police had been alerted...

Alerted? to what and by whom? Were the police called by the owner because a dangerous animal was loose? Or a neighbor who had a previous unpleasant encounter with the dog? Goes to frame of mind, your honor. Now, we do have the firing so perhaps this was not the case and in Hometown it is normal to call in loose dogs to the po po. But I'd at least want to know more about that "alerted" factoid.

If this happened more often the constant dog shootings would be seriously curtailed. In most cities it seems to be open season on people’s dogs. The unspoken policy appears to be ‘You will never be punished for shooting a dog. Ever.’

“In most cities it seems to be open season on people’s dogs.”

Not in Orange County CA. In a population of 3 million people I can think of only one police-shoots-dog incident in years. That one was justified as the loose dogs attacked people.

I'd also guarantee there is no dog shooting incidents involving Maricopa County Sheriff. Joe Arpaio would have the deputy out of the department within hours.

You miss my point. Should journalists be let off the hook for writing an informative article simply because the reader has a tool to fill in the holes? Or should I be railing about editors who pare down a well-written article by stripping out context for the sentences they let survive their hack?
