Norm wouldn’t answer this question. Will you?
Can I come pick your pocket because some stranger shot my dog?
I’ll answer it. You may certainly come pick my pocket if the stranger is a cop in my town and his boss, the Sheriff, was duly elected by the town members AND same Sheriff believes it justified to shoot the family dog of one of our town members. I shall pay and then do my level best to elect a Sheriff that thinks otherwise the next election.
I would think the city counsel would be all over the Mayor and Sheriff for costing the town the cash and ensure that it does not happen a second time. After a few of these payouts, police across the country *should* rethink their jack-booted thuggery.
No.
