They don't let that one pass, generally speaking...
Stupid white hetero male.
By 2016, he’ll get multiple 9mm punctures instead.
/s
He is lucky that they did not shoot him. Officer Friendly has gone the way of the DoDo bird.
Stupid free people. They have to be reminded at every opportunity to obey.
Police were upset because the homeowner didn’t have a dog they could shoot.
“Sir, in the future, please have a dog available for our officers to dispatch with extreme prejudice.”
I’m old enough to remember a time when I actually respected cops.
Those days are LONG gone.
And we had to get this news from a Foreign Newspaper?
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?
Let me guess. The cops are probably union thugs.
I guess he was not licensed to fight fires.
Another case of Cops behaving badly. He’s lucky they didn;t shoot him.
I’m beginning to wonder what will make these thugs stop their abuse of power. People can’t seem to get around the police union protection power structure to seek justice and change.
The lack of justice and the rule of law, abandons people to the remedy of revenge.
Welcome to Mexico!
The guy is actually very lucky. Even the worst shyster in town should be able to get him a few hundred thousand bucks for his “humiliation”, “pain” and “suffering”.
If the officers were not equipped with a Taser, what would have been their course of action, beat the man with night sticks (the Billy Ray Valentine option)? shoot him (assuming his dog was unavailable)? Send in a police dog? Let the man fight the fire until the fire dept arrived (no, that one is waaaaaaay over the top).
I wonder if there is a properly conducted study about the propensity of a LEO to over-react when a non-lethal-force tool (e.g. Taser) is available.
Was he using water from a rain barrel? That’s a crime in some states..
I’ve lost almost all respect for the institutions I grew up believing good.
More than once, I’ve seen people become completely irrational in their efforts to fight a fire. The police may have done him a great favor so that he will be alive to bitch about being saved from his own idiocy.
I like what one of the comments at the site said. Sue the cops and the city, that’s what insurance is for! lol
Simple as that.
