Hialeah officer cleared in deaths of 2 police dogs in SUV

Yeah but if a homeowner shot one when coming at them in their own home will wind up in prison for forty years. Even if it was a wrong address.

Police officers are a minority group, now?

Affirmative Action hire Enriquez held to a lower standard.

Most likely true.

“I think he was exhausted from the job. The demands of working a midnight shift are very harsh on the body

Let me try to work this out. A person who worked from (say) 7 pm until 7 am was too physically exhausted to tend the trained service animals in his care after a 12 hour shift. What possible reasons could there be?

1) Didn't get enough sleep before starting work? Negligence. He knows what time he's supposed to work.

2) Had one too many adult beverages when he got home? Negligence. You put your tools/stock away BEFORE you relax.

3) Poor physical condition? Negligence. His job description demands he be able to perform any number of physically and psychologically difficult tasks at any moment.

4) Mental exhaustion? Negligence. See above.

If you or I or anyone other than a police officer did this even with their OWN property, they would go to jail.

I regularly work midnight shifts (2 wks days, 2 wks nights 7 to 7) in the physical plant of a hospital. I have the safety and comfort of over 500 patients and all related support staff over a 34 acre campus as part of my varied responsibilities. If I did something like what this clown did, do you think a tribunal would exonerate me because I was a little bit tired?

This is yet another example of why the gap between the police and the public is becoming a chasm. The people are going to tire of it, and when that happens it will not end well for either side.

Ahh, so a white male police officer would be charged with murdering two officers, fired and imprisoned.

Funny. I can’t think of the last time any police officer was charged with murdering a police officer after killing a police dog.

If you “forget” your own dog and cook it, here, you get hammered.

It’s animal abuse.

Period.

That’s why it’s “legal” to knock out a window to save a pet you might discover broiling in a car.

[Not sure how the hell somebody “forgets” their dog is in their car, especially a cop with K9s. His keys, yeah, I can see him forgetting where he put them but not dogs]

An inexcusably excruciating death.

A plague upon him.

So, Hopalong; where did I say anything about anyone being charged with murder?
