Ha! I’m sure he got some variation of the “Son, if I have to come back there, you won’t be bored, TRUST me.” talk. :-)
Hopefully he found a way to amuse himself that did not involve teasing his sister. :-)
Thats funny, trips with kids, yikes the idea is to survive them...GG
Why don't you post an article outlining the disciplinary action taken against the cop after the investigation?
I mean, unless you just wanted to post any old story about a cop having to shoot a dog in the hopes of stirring up the cop-hater jetsam around here.
These stories stir up the cop butt kissing badge bunnies too.
Really? Because someone realizes that there's a possibility that "Psycho cop vents blood lust by killing dog" may not be the only accurate interpretation, that makes them some pro-cop sycophant?
Fact is, there are the cop haters, who no matter what, will hate cops (probably cheered the dozens of Police officers killed in 9-11). It's beyond any rationality, but there's a lot of folks who hate the military too, and they're both cut from the same cloth.
This thread just happens to bring along those unable to separate dogs from humans too.
I would love to, but unfortunately, one doesn’t seem to be available.
If you have one available, by all means, post it. What disciplinary action was taken against the cop after the investigation?
And, since you still haven’t answered my question, would it be safe to assume that your response to “Do you approve of officers forcibly removing your property from your possession before destroying it?” would be an affirmative one?
Wow! Really?
Just because I think this cop is a cowardly prick for shooting this dog I hate the military? What a load of crap from an obvious idiot.
You badge bunnies are some sick POS and liars too.
One thing I do know is that no matter how f’d up a situation is all you need is a cop to make it worse. Oh and a badge licking weasel to cheer the cop on.
“Do you approve of officers forcibly removing your property from your possession before destroying it?” would be an affirmative one?
If I had a piece of property, say a car that was stuck in reverse, spinning out of control, endangering people and property, yeah, I'd be okay with a cop destroying it so that safety and order could be restored, when I wasn't able to do so. Guess I just think about others, instead of myself.
No, you're just cut from the same cloth as those who spat on our soldiers returning from war.
If you think it's a good idea to wrestle with an out of control dog, that's great for you and I commend you on your "bravery".
Smarter folks, though, will be able to assess the situation and take appropriate action.
If you DON'T think the officer took appropriate action, then I ask you too, to produce an article (or documentation) saying as much after an investigation. It's been ten months now, and I know you're not just some mouth breathing/foaming cop hater. Bring us into the light of your knowledge.
LOL!
Go ahead and laugh...*I* got me some hundred pound killer hooters...;-D
You are the one demanding an account as to how (or perhaps whether) the cop was disciplined. I have searched and have not found any available. Any intellectually honest individual would do the same.
Attempting to smear other posters does not bolster your argument, and only marks you as intellectually dishonest. If the cop’s behavior was above the law and exemplary, you would not need to do so. That you found it necessary to do so does not speak well of you or the officer in question.
The problem is not with those who expose corrupt cops. The problem is with corrupt cops who bring shame on their honest, honorable brothers in blue.
It would be most unwise to forcefully separate Odin from me.
All of the vets he sees allow me to escort him to whatever exam room he needs to go to.
This is not only because of the innate nature of his breed; he’s also a PTSD support dog whose very raison d’etre is to remain close by/guarding me _at all times_ and he takes his job very seriously.
His “daddy” can lead him away and he follows, out of pack respect but he constantly twists and cranes around to see if I’m “still okay”.
We go everywhere with him and the *only* dogs who ever try to start crap with him are small lapdog types.
While I appreciate their heart and courage, were I their owners, I would train them to conduct themselves in a “proper pack” fashion.
Of all the dogs I’ve had to rehab, the ones who were little “only children” in a household were without a doubt the hardest cases.
For lack of natural pack interaction, they totally “forget how to be a dog”.
Apples and pianos. A dog is sentient property, able to think for itself (though in dog-logic, not human logic). Your car is not (despite what the Transformers and Terminator movie franchises would tell you).
The property in this case was a dog which the owner was literally on top of. The owner weighs more than the animal, ergo, this was not a dog running out of control and attacking people willy-nilly at the festival. Since he was on top of the dog, holding the dog down, the dog was under his control. The officer forcibly and unlawfully took the dog from his owner. His training should have taught him that was a Very Bad Idea. Certainly, his training in the relevant portions of D.C. Law was ignored in this case.
Yep, it’s always sad when people allow their dogs, especially small lapdogs, to become the alphas in the family pack.
They become so miserable in their insecurity, being forced to be the “alpha” because their human refuses to take on the responsibility.
No.
You searched for and posted an article that was ten months old. The fact that you didn't immediately acknowledge this and provide a conclusion is undebatable proof as to what your intentions were: Not to open a topic for discussion, but to try to smear police officers as blood thirsty animal killers.
You, as well as any reasonable thinking individual would know that a conviction, just like an accusation, is readily disseminated. Exoneration, however, is seldom (and in these cases almost never) reported.
Your appeal to "intellectual honesty" carries no weight, due to the transparent agenda of your post.
I was raised to love and trust cops...probably because most of my family is in some branch of law enforcement.
But, in the 50 years I’ve been alive, I’ve watched things slowly change, and not for the better.
I recently spoke to a *wonderful* K9 officer on duty outside a night club.
You couldn’t ask for a better, nicer, more stable man then he.
We ‘talked dogs’ for nearly an hour.
OTOH, many years ago, the “townies” pulled over a group of us who were on motorcycles because there’d been a shot fired in the projects near where we happened to be riding.
One town cop literally threw me face down over the extremely hot hood of his cruiser and grinned while he felt me up and ‘dry humped’ me in front of my husband while thoroughly “checking” my bosom for...what?...concealed weapons??
A county sheriff came over later and slipped me a piece of paper with the townie’s name and badge number on it, insisting I have the cop investigated for inappropriate behavior.
[only women officers are allowed to search women here and there *was* one at the scene but my perv waved her away so he could do it, himself]
There was a long internal investigation.
Guess what the verdict was.
Also, no one in our group had any charges filed because somebody finally gave the cops a clue that *we* weren’t shooting anything...the local “project yutes” were acting up.
Did anybody apologize for the humiliation and abuse?
Hell no.
The date of the article has been available in the first post for all to see. It has not been hidden or obscured in any fashion. If you failed to notice it until recently, then that reflects on your failure to observe, not my refusal to be intellectually honest.
Your attempt to assign motives for my posting the article only highlights your inability to defend the officer’s actions.
Why do you suppose that the officer violated the relevant D.C. laws?
I am sorry that happened to you. It is good that an honest officer gave you the information needed to bring discipline against the perverted cop who molested you.
You are dead on.
They are absolutely, utterly miserable...and confused and conflicted...and dangerous.
Anybody can watch just a few episodes of The Dog Whisperer and plainly see what the vast majority of his “worst” cases involve.
When Odin was about 1, he was in his “Doberteens” and growled at me for some perceived slight as I moved him out of my way in the living room.
I just laughed at him and said “Who in Hell do you think YOU are, buddy?”
He was perplexed by my total lack of “fear” and utter disregard of his [I reckon] attempt to “up” his pack status.
Taking advantage of his “off balance ego”, I calmly continued to push on by him as if nothing had happened.
As Alpha, it is my sovereign right to do so.
I looked back and the look on his face was both pitiful and funny, at the same time.
Sort of a “Well...just...*crap!*” look.....:))
He’s never “challenged” me again.
Deal with it properly the first time and you never *have* a “second time”.
