Brickbat: Bad Partner

The Riverside County, California, sheriff's office said it is investigating a deputy videotaped slamming his K-9 partner to the ground. The video shows two deputies handcuffing and searching a man while a third deputy gets out of a patrol car with a K-9. As he leads the dog toward the man being handcuffed, the dog's legs are dangling off the ground. The dog appears to snap at his handler's hands, leading the deputy to pick the dog up and shove it to the ground. As he leads the dog away, he appears to slap it on the nose.

Someone needs more training, and it's not the dog.

The dog's lucky the officer didn't shoot it.

If it had been someone's beloved pet, that's a likely outcome. Cops do seem to relish the chance to shoot a dig.

Cops kill pets because they know that their owners love them.

Someone needs a new handler, and it's not the dog.

The deputy then shot several innocent* people’s dogs, felt better about himself, and promised in the future to only abuse dogs owned by citizens and not K-9 officers.

* Per Colorado supreme court, any US citizen is potentially guilty of having engaged in insurrection without ever having been found guilty of such.

So just identify as an "immigrant", and get free everything for life, and never get arrested for anything.
(unless you ever say good things about a republican)

Train an animal that it's acceptable to attack others and this is what you get.

Read that however you will.

Another good litmus test from Reason to suss out the people who, rightly and in libertarian fashion, think State agents shouldn't be utilizing animals trained in aggression and people who rabidly hate cops for restraining such animals once they've been trained by the state to be aggressive.

Asshole. Though not at all likely that there will be any consequences.
