I’m guessing they didn’t think he met the “knowingly, willfully” standard of the statute.
It doesn’t sound like he deliberately set out to kill the dog. It sounds more like he killed the dog because he’s an utter moron who’s too stupid to be in law enforcement. He should never be allowed responsibility for another dog, either a K-9 officer or a pet.
“It doesn’t sound like he deliberately set out to kill the dog.”
No but they sure treat civilians like they did, so why not
the cops.
