Cop Kills His Police Dog

"A Scottsdale police dog was shot and killed by his handler on Friday. Police say they think the death was accidental.

This is the first time a police dog has died in the line of duty in the department's 45-year history, Police Chief Alan Rodbell said.

"Certainly, we don't think it was intentional," police Sgt. Mark Clark said.

Well then that makes it all okay. Looking at the bright side, since this cop can't handle a gun he's lucky there wasn't an innocent person killed as well. Not that killing a dog is excusable, no matter what the apologists are saying, and since he'll get off scot-free someone has to stand up for the poor dog, here goes.

You unconscionable idiot. If this doesn't persuade you to find a real job then nothing ever will, but here's hoping you put down the gun and pick up a broom or anything less dangerous to those around you. Being sorry after the fact doesn't cut it in the land of grownups who are supposed to be held accountable for their actions so hows about proving there's still something of a man in you and hanging up the old gear, for good.
