While what you've said certainly isn't true with all cops I believe it to be true with enough of them to justify your condemnation. I consider police officers to be analogous to attack dogs in that they must be carefully trained, well maintained, treated with appropriate respect, and rigidly controlled.There's a certain mental illness they all have.
Arrogant, dangerous, power tripping bullies who look at the public as "potential" criminals who must be "controlled" and "subdued". They perceive everything as an "us" (police) versus "them" (citizens) situation.
They aren't safe to be around and, obviously, their mental processes are warped....and no..I wouldn't call one for anything....short of murder of a family member and that scenario is VERY unlikely.
Gangsters and thugs with badges.
They strap on their "manhood" and pin on their "courage" when they get dressed for "work".
Remember; when seconds count; a cop is minutes away.
I'll handle my own business.
The thread headline is bullshit.
What the idiot author of the OP ("descent") omitted was the phrase "according to an eyewitness."
Apparently, the dip shit (dissent) is willing to assume the worst of the cop in this case based on the unsubstantiated word of an anonymous eyewitness.
In reality, it is of course possibly true. But then again, maybe it isn't.
And sure as hell, dissent doesn't know either way.
from the article said:A Flagstaff police officer repeatedly struck an injured Sunnyside dog with a baton and stomped its head with his boot, according to an eyewitness who watched the incident at about 2:30 a.m. on August 19.
Police officials say an officer hit the loose dog with his patrol car when the animal darted out from behind a parked vehicle. However, the methods that the officers supervisor used to euthanize the dog have since come under scrutiny, triggering parallel criminal and internal affairs investigations.
Police Chief Kevin Treadway confirmed that Corporal John Tewes had been placed on administrative leave the day after the incident after another police supervisor brought the incident to light.
The Sunnyside resident, who has been interviewed by police, asked to remain anonymous to avoid the public attention that would arise from being identified. She says she watched the entire incident from her window as the injured dog was spotlighted in the street.

I dunno..seems pretty solid.
Unless the cops are lying to each other about each other.
Power trip? I dunno...I would never do something like that...poor animal I would have taken it to a vet hospital asap....I like animals more than I like people...shit like this makes me like animals even more.
If the dog was too badly hurt to live what you claim you would do would probably have been more cruel than what he did. Movement with broken bones =agony.

You coulda stopped right at the end of the bold part.
.
This cop needs the same thing done to him that he did to that poor animal.
Damn the officer needs to be fired. They wait 30 minutes before they beat it to death
It took me all one one minute to think of this and find the number
24 HOUR ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Canyon Pet Hospital - Flagstaff, AZ

Oh..that's so funny! Aren't you clever!
The Chief of Police apparently thinks it's valid. ANOTHER police SUPERVISOR thinks it's valid..Are you saying the cops are all lying about it?
Why don't you trot on up there and show them how to conduct an investigation. Let them know how incompetent they are and get them all straightened out.
Also; The lady remains anonymous to THE PUBLIC..surely you don't think the cops don't know who she is..after they have interviewed her...and investigated..and re assigned the animal abusing cop.
Sure, son..whatever you say.Yep.
lia said:No. I'm saying your are talking out of your ass. There is zero basis to claim that any supervisor or anybody else thinks it's valid. A suspension while a serious complaint is being investigated does NOT imply that anybody yet credits (or should) the eyewitness account. Pretty rush to judgment of you.
sparky? What does that mean? Some kind of middle school "insult" or something?lia said:Why don't YOU wait until there IS an investigation? That would be ok by you, wouldn't it sparky?
Great vocabulary skills you're exhibiting. What grade did you say you were in, son?lia said:Duh.... fucking .... dork.
I don't think the cops are obligated to get the animal veterinary help but they should refrain from actually bludgeoning and kicking the thing in the middle of the street with spotlights on while dogs are barking.
I mean, c'mon.

They may not be "obligated" legally...and that's arguable..but as a human being they are expected to have compassion and good judgment.
Look at it like this..If a citizen did that and a cop saw it...what would happen?
They'd come up with 10 or 12 charges and take the citizen immediately to jail.
30 days in the county jail in general population will bring him back to reality real quick.
They think they're "special".

As I said it took me all of one minute to think of Animal emergency care and find the number. What would happen in an extreme condition, how would that officer react in a shoot don't shoot situation.
