There will be no criminal charges filed against Hawaii Police Department Officer Sidra Brown, the handler of K-9 Archer, the narcotics detection dog that died Sept. 4 after being left unattended in a police vehicle in Kona.

Archer was a 6-year-old narcotics detection dog.

The Dept. of the Attorney General said, “After careful consideration of the evidence associated with this case, examination of the scene, and possible applicable law, our office has declined to prosecute this matter due to insufficient evidence of a crime.”

Hawaii has both misdemeanor and felony charges for animal cruelty. First- degree animal cruelty is a Class C felony punishable by five years imprisonment.

The hypocrisy. And also, a police dogs life means zero when a cop kills them. But they’ll toss a non cop in jail for life under murdering an officer.

This sh1t is just one reason why people don’t like/trust cops.

Bingo

[Veto!]

Miserablle pos, wish the dog had killed him.

Maybe the B.... was jealous.

Him? From the look of the thing in the photograph, I’m not sure that that is a HIM. More likely it’s a HER-wannabe-HIM ... or an IT.

whatever it is, the life of the dog was worth more.

Just very sad.

Fire her ass and prosecute her for cruelty to aninals. Don’t let her ever have a pet.

“But they’ll toss a non cop in jail for life under murdering an officer.”

Ya think?

We lived in Hawaii, and they treat their pets (all animals) horribly there. That’s in general. Of course everyone doesn’t do that.

Was there a necropsy done on the dog?

There should have been.

If there wasn’t, this really stinks.

And if there was a necropsy done, the results should be made public.

Especially the officer, per other reportage, is refusing to state how long the dog was left on the vehicle.

Left in the car for “an unacceptable amount of time.”

In other words, the dog cooked to death.
