Redneck cops from Tennessee that killed a dog have become a national news story. Much outrage has been expressed about the death of the dog, along with much support for the cops who were just “doing their job.”
What nobody has pointed out is that these cops, by their actions, have put the lives of other cops in peril. This gross abuse of power is not likely to help cops gain cooperation during a traffic stop. If a real criminal thinks he’s up against trigger-happy cops that will shoot without provocation, they’re more likely to shoot it out in a traffic stop. Now the Mayberry P.D. has given the entire state’s police force a bad name.
Is this the Charles from Electric Pencil / LA?
