If it wasn’t someone protected by the badge, they’d be in jail, charged with cruel and unusual punishment, probably among other things.
Of course if a peasant kills a police dog, then it’s murder one/ death penalty. But, cops don’t follow the same set of laws they enforce against the rest of us.
“A necropsy determined heat stroke was the probable cause of the dog’s death.”
What a horrible, agonizing, sloooow way to die.
The poor dog probably sat there staring at the door, waiting for his beloved owner to come out and save him.
This sickens me.
My dogs only see the car in summer for necessary vet visits.
*My* desire to take them out and show them off is stalled until cool weather comes.
Poor dog.
:(
A cop can kill all the civilians he wants to, and their dogs. But a K-9 dog is part of the club.
isn’t he being charged with assaulting a police officer and murder?
after all... they charge people with assaulting a police officer and resisting if you run from or kick a police dog that after you, claiming the dog ‘is an officer’
What a heartless dumba@@. HE should be left to suffer in a hot car. I don’t even leave a bag of crickets (pet lizard snax) in the car after I buy them, I bring into the grocery or wherever my next stop is.
Had a lowly civilian, like a 95 year old WWII veteran, caused the death of a police dog, even one that was actively attacking him, he would get jail time. WonderCop gets reassigned. One set of rules for the masters, and one for the slaves.
You can be arrested and charged for barking at a police dog because that’s harassment. Seems to me letting a member of the force die due to negligence would be negligent homicide.
