Non-cop shoots a police dog, gets charged with murder.

Cop leaves dog in vehicle to die from a heat stroke, administrative leave.

[DanielRedfoot]

Cop shoots your family Dog by accident, cost of doing business

[tioga]

What a thoughtless cruel death for your partner. How about a charge of cruelty to animals?

[Slump Tester]

Stupid bastards!

[ClearCase_guy]

The cop gets a paid vacation for that, right? Sweet!

Hazards of Duty Clause: When the hound was hired, s/he was informed of such hazards and knew s/he could die on the job.

If the hound claims ignorance in the wrongful death action, the Department will just say “S/he was informed of and agreed to the “Hazards of Duty” clause.

See y’all in court.

What the heck kind of people are ethey accepting into the ranks these days? Women beaters, kitten and dog killers, elderly abusers?

They really need to vet these people better than they do. I’m beginning to believe they are taking them straight out of prison and giving them a uniform!

The poor dog deserved better, How can the public respect the police when stories like this and others make it to difficult to do.

[ßuddaßudd]

Another cop and bad dog story . . .

[barmag25]

Just wondering where the “shoot the dog policy” came from? Where there any Muslims in high ranking positions that had a hand in drafting it?

[CGASMIA68]

if you swing at or try to stop a police dog its the same as resisting arrest or assault on a cop.
So this guy needs to be tried for assault and or the death of a fellow officer.

Stupid bastard was probably high

[Revelation 911]

ive always been intrigued by this notion that an animal can be deputized - by logical extension - you should be able to sue for excessive force when the “officer” chomps your leg

[DustyMoment]

I’m geting really sick of the double standard. The taxpayers paid for the dog and paid for his training and his dimwit human “partner” will get off worst case with a slap on the hand.

Sickening. The dog deserved better!

Spartacus, a Belgian Malinois, was found dead inside the patrol car around 9 p.m. Monday at the officer’s Pickens County home

Who leaves their dog in the car on a hot night in Atlanta while they are inside their own house?

[eyeamok]

Second Degree Murder. Murder of a Police Officer...
I would ask for the Death Penalty, just like for anybody else.

[Daffynition]

Not so long ago, we had a cop w/ a K-9, who, while at home, had the dog off-leash and it got killed by a car.

IMO, the cop should have had to pay for its replacement out of pocket. But locals rallied and raised him the $$$ for a new one.

[Arm_Bears]

Lock the idiot inside the same car and leave him till he croaks.

[SkyDancer]

When dogs need killing leave it to your LEO’s ....

[schm0e]

it's gotta be easier to shoot them.

But come on, "administrative leave pending an investigation"? W.T.F?

[Secret Agent Man]

these dogs are legally considered officers.

will the cops be treated like an average citizen would if they killed a police dog accidentally? killing an officer?

cue the ‘of course not’.

[BCW]

At a minimum the officer should be fired - striped of his law enforcement certification - and then charged...what IDIOT does that?!?
