Is this your car?

Yes.

Is this your dog?

Yes.

BANG!!

Dispatch, this is unit 64. We have a white, male cockroach at *&^%, that has just committed suicide by dog. Please send animal welfare, coroner and a tow truck.

Copy that. ETA for animal welfare is 12 minutes, others to follow. Thanks, dispatch.

Mrs. George and I have been together for almost 46 years. Married for 45.

We have never, ever, been without animals in our lives.

The thought of people doing this makes me ill.

I am always amazed how quickly and eagerly American police men pull out handcuffs. The guy is an asshole, but there is no reason to assume he’s a threat.

It’s protocol for every arrest.

Maybe. But why is it protocol? The police should treat people, including criminals, with dignity. Responses should be proportional to the situation and the threat. I'm sure there have been a few cases where policemen lost their life because they didn't handcuff somebody, but most other countries are willing to pay that price, and for good reason.
