As bad as kicking a dog is, is it really national news?
Is a local NC paper considered a “national news” outlet?
Just askin’.
Bad cops are everyones business.
Yes we would be in jail asap. The LE that break the law need to be treated as would the general public.

Yes it is, many people do not understand that a K9 dog is an officer of the law. Maybe people may get it into their thick skulls the K9's can't be abused. We have many dog lovers in this country who are going to be very angry over this & they darn well should be. This is a cop & he should have known better! This was his partner who would have given his life for that dog kicking cop. I hope the cop goes to jail for awhile & sees some of the very people he put there. Maybe he can get kicked around too. We probably put ex cops in protective custody though. If I can go to jail for abusing my animals a cop or ex cop needs to get the same..

Maybe. People who abuse animals almost always progress to criminal behavior toward people. It’s bad enough when a civilian does it, but police, who have so much power and control, should be held to a higher level. This sadistic guy WILL hurt someone later, expecting to be protected by his badge.
