Hello, North Texas - I was born just north of Dallas. Right now, I live about an hour and a half away from Cookeville. Used to live there, as a matter of fact, and have a strong distaste for their police force, having encountered them as a college student.
However, I think it's pretty funny that a democratic state senator has taken it upon himself to assemble a fact-finding committee to look at a dog's death - while ignoring the death of a five year old child in Chattanooga.
So tell me - does the article mention the fact that the second dog he killed was on orders from his supervisor? Or that the first one killed was in the process of attacking someone?
While the killing of the dog was bad, the magnitude of the officers ineptness is the issue here.
What right did they have to treat these effing tourists like Arab terrorists.
They didn't even issue a speeding ticket.
If you are cool with this thing, I am glad you are in Tenn. and I am in Texas.
Keep your eye on the ball.
