I feel for him. But he did violate the first rule of public safety—unless you’re in imminent threat of violence, never call the cops. Their “us-versus-them” training and mentality doesn’t allow for the person who called them to suddenly be considered “us”. We the public will always be “them.”

Good. Too many thug cops get away with too much.

Hard to believe the guy would call 911 and not have his dog safely in the house. Why would he leave the dog to run free? Someone wasn’t thinking clearly.

A lot was dismissed but the one against Cordova was upheld.

He shot the dog while it was disabled from the taser.

It will now be up to Plowright to prove it in court.

Cop lovers on here hardest hit. Can’t wait to see them crying and screaming that piggy did nothing wrong.

[Recovering_Democrat]

do we need to call a cop “piggy”? is that appropriate? you can say he did something wrong without that rhetoric.

Developed the Cop Attitude
Cops work, eat, and party with other cops
All the people they deal with at work are “Perps” as my former LEO brother in law said. All non-LEO’s are Perps, you are either a criminal or will become a criminal
Former BIL quit because he realized what he was becoming. Even carried a throw-down gun wrapped in Saran Wrap

No situation is so bad that it cannot be mad worse by adding a cop to the mix.

[wastedyears]

Yes, because they are the standing army the Founding Fathers warned us about, and literally see all of us as threats to them, guilty until proven innocent.

Tell me about those “good” cops.
