“It sounds like some on here aren’t aware that K-9s are the same as human cops - even those retired. So, in essence, this little criminal shot and maimed a police officer. That’s probably why he got the book thrown at him. Plus, the route he’s taking - he’ll just be in and out of the system the rest of his life anyway.”
That’s the problem. Put the magic badge on a dog, and all of a sudden his life is worth more than a citizen. That’s BS. He is a DOG, not a person. And let the cop accidentally kill the dog by leaving him in the hot car, and all of a sudden he becomes just a dog again.
A cop’s life is no more valuable than anyone else. And his dog is still just a damn dog.
This here is just an example of a cop being treated as more equal than others. An offense against a cop is treated like treason. an offense BY a cop is treated as nothing.
Look at SWAT raids. A confused citizen shoots at or even kills a cop, there is no understanding for the confusion.
Let the cop make a mistake and harm an innocent, and we’re supposed to give him every understanding of his confusion.
“Plus, the route he’s taking - he’ll just be in and out of the system the rest of his life anyway.”
That is just you making the assumption you want to meet your view. And it has no baring on his actions HERE. That is all we can punish. You can’t punish someone for actions they MAY choose.
What the heck do you mean, you can’t punish someone for the actions they MAY choose? Of course, we can and do. Seems like this guy is getting punished for the actions he CHOSE! Your rant is just too weird - and kind of wrong - so I’ll leaveit at that.
