Woodruff also pointed out the "Beware of Dog" sign attached to an oak tree on his lawn. The man states that the deputy parked his car in front of the sign and then walked right past it.

Classic mistake, assuming that a cop can read.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the deputy *did* read and stopped at the “wrong house” for that reason.

Then, feign surprise and “apologize” to the homeowner for “getting the address wrong”.

When government employees believe they have the right to shoot housedogs, there’s a big problem.

When their superiors defend them and their departments rally around them, there’s a bigger problem.
