I saw this worthless POS on the local news this morning when he was in court. He said some great lines like “I should have shot the other dog” and “Charles Manson rules”. Plus he was mugging for the camera, giving the devil horns and the shooting motion with his hand. Glad this turd is up for his third strike, hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life.

(btw - I've just returned from a week away... if you posted a thread or ping for the doggie list in the last week and I missed it, ping me again if you would like it pinged.)
“Vancouver Police Department”
See what happens when you give a Canadian a gun.
Rainbow Bridge for you, big fella. Say hi to my girl Lita.
OMG What a great loss to us all when something like this happens to one of our police dogs! DAMN that piece of scum to hell ... I’m so sorry. I’m just so sorry. God bless Dakota and comfort and prayers for his handler and all the cops that had worked with them.
What’s the worst that someone who kills a police dog can be charged with? Animal cruelty? I’m genuinely curious.
> Dakota, a 5-year-old German shepherd owned by the Vancouver Police Department...
I am deeply saddened by this loss, as are my GSDs past and present. Akela mourns!
Goodonya, Dakota. Good dog! One day, when I go to join you in The Great Pack Beyond, I’ve got a biscuit for ya...
