I think the small town police are getting a wake-up call from the internet and fast-travelling news. I imagine their canine protocols will be rewritten to include contacting the properly trained animal control.<BR/><BR/>The news about this has--as it should--blown up around here.<BR/>Whether out of compassion for animals, or out of concern for public opinion, I believe the Mt.

And, probably in a manner that police and politicians will find discomforting: if the authorities pose more of a threat than a benefit we'll simply defund them, take away their authority and send them to the unemployment line. <BR/><BR/>I suspect we're getting closer to that point daily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-49429765140873346182008-09-23T18:59:00.000-07:002008-09-23T18:59:00.000-07:00This shit is really starting to piss me off!

That officer and PD in general aren't in the community's good graces currently. I didn't see a link for editorial comments to their local paper, but I don't think this particular officer is going to be respected by the community in general any longer. Here's hoping (as a former police reservist) this asshat finds himself looking for a job serving Squishies at a Kwikiemart soon.MauserMedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657229228172032650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-51484527507828466322008-09-23T09:47:00.000-07:002008-09-23T09:47:00.000-07:00You guys are getting yourselves a police state to ...You guys are getting yourselves a police state to challenge the best of them.<BR/><BR/>You'll know when you've made it, as the cops will give the guy who blows the whistle on their misdeeds some polonium (to stop him from feeling cold...) the way the KGB did with Litvinenko (you should read his book).<BR/><BR/>people often behave to animals in the way they'd like to behave to people if they could get away with it. <BR/><BR/>I suspect that if the cops let their crimminal psychologists look at the dog killers, almost all would be declared un fit/ un suitable for police workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
