That's my guess.
Cops wouldn't leave a dog on the freeway. Somehow the SPCA would get involved.
From the WORST point of view, the dog's presence there might CAUSE an accident.
Wrong.
Cops DID leave a dog on the freeway. That fact is established. Even they don't deny it.
Cops wouldn’t leave a dog on the freeway.
Uhhh,,,they did JUST THAT!
I think you're correct. Normally they'd have just shot it. However it would be hard to claim that a 14 YO chihuahua was a danger to them without seriously affecting their "big man" standing in the department. Better to just leave it on the side of the road and let nature take its course.
It was not on the highway proper but on the feeder road.
Well they did.
Do you have any other bird brain statements for the thread?

You wouldn’t think so but there are many things going wrong in America, that 15 years ago you would never think would happen. Perhaps the cops in this case felt threatened. That seems to be the standard excuse for pulling the trigger and now abandonment of a blind 14 year old pet on an expressway. I’m fed up reading about garbage behavior from those we pay well.
As long as we citizens still elect politicians we can shut down abusive power simply by pulling the funding of these organizations. In my local (very low crime rate) community the PD now has a budget greater than 50% of the local government. The local government does functions that I do find beneficial and use daily like roads. The PDs would be wise to make regaining respect of the public a major priority.
