Brickbat: Unprovoked Attack

In Utah, Davis County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Timothy Robinson has been charged with misdemeanor abuse of a service animal for beating his K9 partner. Two other officers said that, during a training session, the dog urinated in a conference room. Robinson then struck the dog several times, pulled it out of the conference room by its leash, and dragged the dog down the stairs. Robinson has been placed on administrative leave.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Here’s to you Mr. Robinson, heaven hates you more than you will know.

You shoot dogs, you don't beat them.
Everyone knows that.

When all you've got is a hammer, every problem looks like a dog.

He had no cause treating a fellow office like a member of the public or his wife.

When it comes to dogs and we say "urinating", do we mean "requisitely eliminating liquid waste" or do we mean "establishing abstract social constructs" because, from a Koch libertarian perspective, one of those is an act of aggression that deserves a beating and the other isn't.

Not that a cop... or a Koch-funded libertarian... would necessarily distinguish between the two either way. But for clarity... for other people... who might.

Rin Tin Tin made it through 164 episodes on tv without having to urinate even once. I guess they aren't making German Shepherds like they used to.
And do you know who else was a German Shepherd?
