Who is in the right ?

Its a dog, not a child. Not even a proper dog, one of them snivvvling little 's
tzu' typpe things... we used to have one. Usless pampered wimpering little st it was....
Seriously, driving like a loon on the phone because a dog is choking isnt really the right thing to do. If the guy had caused a major/fatal accident it wouldnt have looked like much of a defence in court, would it...?
Cop should have put the dog out of its misery. Would have been the only desent thing to do in the circumstances...
And then capped the driver too.

To be fair though, the driver didn't look like he was in any state to be concentrating on driving at nearly double the speed limit, so I can see why the cop wouldn't want to let him go on his way.
God forbid the cop take the dog and owners in the back of his own car the few miles to the vet, as opposed to writing out a speeding ticket for 20 minutes.wiffmaster said:

Shut up already....show some compassion here, if it were my dog I'd have done the same thing.tzu' typpe things... we used to have one.

Well yes, I didn't say he shouldn't have done that - the cop comes across as a total and I'd hope that most reasonable cops would have helped the poor couple and dog out.
I'd too like to think that 95% of cops would have been reasonable under the circumstances and helped those poor folks out. Unluckily for them, they got one of self-serving, power abusing idiots. That's why I think the guy deserves to lose his job; he spectacularly failed to protect and serve. In fact, he activity hindered! and I'd hope that most reasonable cops would have helped the poor couple and dog out.Gassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
