[quote:Anonymous Coward 510028:MV83ODcyMDZfMTIwODAxNDlfNEU0OEExQ0Q=] [quote:Cogburn] File the complaint. This is between you and the cop, so your husband can stay out of it. Your dogs are your property and he threatened to destroy your property (they're your friends...I know, but the law generally doesn't differentiate) . BTW, if your husband didn't want trouble....he would have let you go to your mother's. Thank you! That is my point exactly! You might want to consider not filing a complaint...believe me I understand how you're feeling, but if you should ever call them and need them in the future, there will be hell to pay. If you file a complaint against one officer, they will consider it a complaint against them all. Most of them are assholes. No it's of course not right, but that's how it is, unfortunately. I wish you could file a complaint against them all, and WIN! File the complaint. When the day comes that asshole kills someone's dog, your complaint will be noted and due justice will be served. Think of it not as a service to yourself, but as a service to the next person that is abused in the same manner. A single drop of water may not move a mountain, but a river has no such issue. [/quote] Do you know what the "punishment" for a dog killing Police officer is, even if they did so with no provocation? It varies, but it is generally something like a 1-3 day suspension without pay. Yep, justice served there all right. *I know, this was not your point, but there is little to no justice for people wronged by the police. Short of true brutality (that the state allows them to preform and will cover up for them the majority of the time, claiming it is "part of the job") or murder, it is wrong to kill them, as it would be wrong for them to kill you... But there is little other justice to be had. This does not mean you SHOULD kill the police! What I am saying is that there is nothing else to be done in most cases, so you can expect NO justice... And really, since this police officer didn't DO anything (other than be a jerk) no one will listen anyway. So undermining him is about what's left. It is sneak and extralegal, but... What else can an honest person do in such a case? [/quote]

I know this isn't the best place for advice, but I am sooooo pisssed!
My husband and I had a fight 2 nights in a row about money. I told him I was not sitting here listening to his shit for another day (fri). I came home from work at 12:30am sat morning and he started in. I had had 2 glasses of wine, but by 2:30 I knew I was leaving. So I packed up some clothes and things. Got my dogs stuff and told him I was going to my mothers to chill and he needed to decide if he wanted to work it out or not. He took the car keys and refused to let me have them. I called 911 to report that he would not let me leave. DH hung up on them, but they called back. DH said I was drunk and he was afraid for me to drive. (lie) I told the dispatcher that I had had 2 glasses of wine since 12:30 and it was 3am now. The dispatcher said that I should be fine, but wanted me to wait as he had an officer in route.
I walked out to load my stuff in the car without realizing there were 4 cop cars in my driveway and my 2 dogs ran out with me. The first cop had a dog in his car that was madly barking at my dogs. My dogs barked back of course. The cop told me that I had better put my dogs up or he was going to shoot them! I replied that he had better get off my property then as I did not ask for him to be there! He then threatened to lock me up for disorderly conduct, I told him to go right ahead! He was an ASS!
Then a second cop took me aside and asked what was going on. He gave me a blow test, I passed with flying colors and he told the ASS, that I was to have my keys and my dogs and they were leaving. I want to file a complaint against the asshole, and my husband doesn't want to start any trouble.
I feel he had no right to threaten me or my dogs on my property when I had done nothing wrong. How can a cop even be intrusted with a canine unit, if he is that willing to shoot another dog? I am ready to hire a lawyer over the whole thing.
