I doubt I'll rest assured after killing a dog. :|

it's a pig-dog.

I never said murder....vehicular homicide.

Does it matter? It's very clear to me now that I'll be fine if ever in that situation.. Thanks guys!

Sure! I just hope you never have to find out.

Yep. Rest assured knowing that when you accidentally kill a k9 nothing legally negative will happen to you!

I thought it was murder? Now it's just legally negative? Like a fine or something?

 

[ch33zw1z]

What's the eye rolling for?

I never said murder.

And you've enlightened me, what's the problem?

You're a sarcastic ass, that's the problem.

I said your claim had no basis in fact, not that the polar opposite of your claim was true.

I've reread my posts. Where did I say murder?

And here I thought you were so sure.

Yay semantics! This thread delivers....

I was sure that you had no evidence on which to base your claims, and in that I was correct. :thumbsup:

Homicide versus murder

While murder is homicide, not all homicides are murder.

edit: review post #7. you used the term homicide....I originally thought unintentional...but was I wrong? Did you mean intentional as in murder?

 

[ch33zw1z]

I was sure that you had no evidence on which to base your claims, and in that I was correct. :thumbsup:

I haven't found anything from googling. Doesnt mean it hasn't happened. I don't want to test it out either....but go for it. You had me thinking your were confident enough to...

I love you guys.

I just started a petition on Care2: Justice for murdered K-9. I'm hoping that if enough people sign my petition, we can make a difference. Right now I've got 167 signatures — will you help me collect more by adding your name, and then use the links below to share it on social media?

A little rationality for you all:



Doesn't sound like the officer is guilty of that. That is to say, this was an accident and this statute does not cover accidents.

how do you accidentally lock a dog in a car long enough for the dog to overheat and die?

If you buy this was an accident, then this officer shouldn't be a cop, because they're too stupid.

They forgot to turn the air conditioning on. They clearly meant for it to be on because the engine was running. The only reason to run the engine is to run the A/C.

Fortunately, they have taken steps to prevent this from happening again.

Nyx was the department's first and only police dog. The department has suspended its K9 program and is reviewing its policies, Preciado said.

Alarms will be installed in the K9 patrol car before the department acquires a new police dog, Preciado said. The alarm will come with a key fob that dog handlers will carry that will alert them when the car gets too hot or too cold.

It's funny (and sad) how many idiots think this is murder.

If you think this was intentional, then the too stupid is all you.
