Not How You Boil a Frog

The Pinal County, Arizona, sheriff's office fired Deputy Raul Alvarado for torturing a frog by Tasering it. The county's merit commission has ordered the department to rehire him.

Why be so cruel to the French?

Good morning reason!

He wasn't fired for torturing an animal, he was fired because he didn't do it to a human being.

Ha ha ha! Ha! Ha. Ha...

The problem with amphibians is that they're resistant to waterboarding.

Nice people they hire for law enforcement. Do they ever do any psychological screening on applicants? Come to think of it, maybe they do.

[Douglas Fletcher]

More important, how the hell did he find a frog in Pinal County?

In the meantime, the Casa Grande Police Department did a criminal investigation on Alvarado and recommended that prosecutors file charges for felony animal cruelty.

As of now, no charges have been filed against Alvarado.

I like to torture innocent megadriles by impaling them on bits of sharpened steel and throwing them into lakes, where they slowly drown or are devoured by aquatic carnivores.

THEN, I pull the aquatic carnivores out of their homes and watch them slowly suffocate. OR I cut them open with a knife and pull out their guts WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE! Bwaa-ha-ha-ha!

Alvarado allegedly told a female dispatcher that he planned to take the frog into the desert and perform sexual acts on it

Wait, what?

[Bingo]

This is it, this is the new professionalism that Scalia was trumpeting about.

Now if he had tortured some suspected illegal aliens he would have gotten a medal.

I tase my frog several times daily.

I'll never forget how embarassed I was when my mom walked in on me when i was tasing the frog.
