Cops are above the law and the sooner you realize that, sooner you can help us stop them some how...

As for the ass cheek sucking cop lovers, They would tell you, that the dog should not have committed a crime and he would not have had to be put in the back of the car to suffer...

8:50 am - First cops are not above the law. This officer should be charged with animal cruelty. As for your last comment it must be awful to be so filled with that much hate. How do you live peacefully? You are disgusting.

No excuse for that officer, he should have known better, he killed an officer and he should loose his job permanently.

First .... A dog is a dog. Idc what you say. He is not a cop! He is a tool.
Second...... He did hurt an animal. Not a cop or even a working k9. Just a dog. But still needs to be charged and ultimately fired. No officer should have a record. Even a minor offense needs to be terminated.

This police officer needs to go. How that poor dog must have suffered and couldn't get any help. The officer is no better than a murderer. He should NEVER EVER be allowed to be a handler EVER AGAIN!!!!

Disgusting is Right! BUT ---untill laws
change,an animal is classified as a possession!

One would think a simple rewording by our Representatives to
the Animal Laws , such as ---"THE
OWNER OF AN ANIMAL IS CLASSIFIED AS THEIR
GUARDIAN" should make prosecuting
the abuser to the fullest extent much more likely.

It appears that unless people push their Representatives
for a Change-----Nothing will Happen & Abuse will continue
to get nothing more then ----"A slap on the wrist."

Sad, very sad indeed.

OK 6:31, go ahead and hit that "community relations" dog next time you see one. Let me know if they charge you with hitting "just a dog" or felony assault on a law enforcement officer.

Worthless dog was a burden to the tax payers. It was a mascot not a working dog. And I agree. Dogs are tools not cops. Can the dog cuff me? Read me my rights? No. Can it be trained to alert and falsely at that? Yes. Dogs are tools.

Most cops are " tools" also, so what's your point?
