I love his claim about avenues for expressing problems. BS! Most of the time, unless it is made HIGHLY public, they ignore issues.
As for the yard? What? The only way we can expect a cop to respect property is to put 15ft barbed wire fencing around it? They’d assume you were hiding something and still find a way in.
It would be one thing if they had any intelligence that the guy might have something to do with it. But this was just a random search.
As for the 23 years part? 23 years ago was 1991. We are in a new era of people able to document and know what LE is doing, and share it. 23 years ago, your only source of news was very limited.
This was nothing but him mad at any criticism at all. How dare anyone start questioning them! The letter he read off. He was so angry someone would talk about killing a cop over a dog. What about cops willing to use deadly force to protect their dog? That magic change into a LE dog did not increase his value.
This guy represents the typical cop attitude of disgust that anyone dare expect them to be answerable for their actions.
This whole thing is symptomatic of everything going on with cops lately. And people are getting tired of it.
And by the way, what is it with these guys and a constellation of stars? A 4 star general?
His mumblings should get him fired if he really believes shooting family pets for target practice is acceptable.
The boy was later found sleeping in his home.
More Andy Taylor,
Less Rambo
and we’ll all get along fine.
