>>I thought criticism of police was banned from being posted on Free Republic?
Were you on an extended mission in Africa or a trip to Mars for the last couple years? Almost everyone here has finally stopped thinking that the government-paid police are the law-abiding citizens’ friend quite a while ago. There’s a few of those old-school law and order types left, but every dead dog and abused citizen converts a few more.
Well, I have had several threads milder than this pulled on those grounds. The mods basically said any article about a cop shooting a dog will be zotted immediately.
