Meanwhile, here in Pittsburgh, we are into a TEN DAY official mourning period (with flags at half staff) in honor of Rocco, a police dog who was stabbed to death by a deranged suspect.
Granted this dog saved the lives of three human officers from a knife-wielding maniac. But now we are seriously considering RAISING THE PENALTY for killing a police dog to actually MORE years than one might reasonably expect to get for killing a HUMAN BEING!
I mean, I love dogs too, but COME ON!
Someone needs to read the flag code. Was this ordered by the Governor?
