It depends on what people want to look at. I saw a cop looking in a car asking what kind of dog it was. Two other cops had their weapons pointed at the dog and one shot at the dog which appeared to be lunging from off screen.

Or you can look at the small dog happily trotting out of a carelessly open door, then fast forward to the grieving family being held down as they cry out in anguish. According to the reports they are then released with a cursory apology and left to pick up their dog.

The first story is least three cops concerned about their safety during a felony stop. The second is an emotional event, a tragedy, very difficult to watch. I think both stories are important and we can learn from both. We can all perhaps learn that it can be difficult to be a cop and the cops can hopefully learn that it is very easy for innocent people to be hurt and that they need to be more careful.

In other words, no real consequences. Bah! I'm not buying, and neither should anyone who cares about the quality of policing, justice for the family that lost the dog, or the future decisions make by Eric "Pop Your Pup" Hall.
