I’m fortunate to know several of Dallas’ finest in blue.

No, not as a perp, thankyouverymuch&#153.&#160 I’ve had opportunity to meet several cops in the course of what I do.&#160 In addition, I had a pair of uncles who worked in Ft. Worth and other county departments.&#160 Moreover, several bloggers with whom I’m somewhat acquainted belong to the Blue&#153.

All of them, I’m certain, are properly embarassed by this.

(Here’s a YouTube vid corresponding to the story):

A Texas couple, whose sick dog died as the pair waited along a Texas roadside while a police officer wrote them a speeding ticket, said they are not satisfied with how the officer involved was reprimanded and believe he should be fired.

Michael Gonzalez and his girlfriend were pulled over as they raced to an animal hospital, near San Marcos, Texas, allegedly at speeds up to 100 mph, Aug. 5. Gonzalez is seen on the police dashboard camera screaming hysterically that the dog, a 3-pound teacup poodle named Missy, was dying.

We’ll forget, for a second, the emotional attachment Gonzalez & his girlfriend had to the dog.&#160 For that alone, this power-hungry Nazi-in-blue should fry, job-wise.&#160 We’ll forget, for just a brief moment, that Gonzalez & his girlfriend actually, y’know, loved&#160 this beautiful little puppy and were actually, y’know, trying to, like, save her life.

Teacup poodles are a relatively rare breed.&#160 According to this site, they can run upwards of $4,000.

Lemme say that again.&#160 Four.&#160 Thousand.&#160 Dollars.

This swastika-behind-a-badge just caused this young man to lose a very&#160 expensive animal.&#160 One for which he may very well have had to save a lot of hard-earned money.

And then, just so Sgt. Billy-Bob Bad-Ass could add insult to injury – you know, twist the knife a little further – he adds this little blurb:

“It’s just a dog, you can get another one,” Officer Paul Stephens is heard saying.

“It’s just a dog, you can get another one.”

A beloved pet.&#160 Who just happened to cost between $2,500 and $4,000.&#160 An animal you just don’t replace with a trip to the local shelter or the ASPCA, either for the emotional attachment or the financial one.

“Just a dog, he can get another one.”

Denizens, I’m sorry, I can’t type any effin’ more tonight.&#160 I can’t see past the RCOB.
