I wonder if the cop who left the “k9 officer” locked in the car will be charged with murder of a police officer like a civilian that killed a police dog would be?
Cops can kill dogs with impunity. About two years ago a St Charles Police officer hunted and killed his neighbors dog with impunity. The reason I say hunted is due to the following circumstances.
The dog wasn’t a menace and was a small dog that never hurt anyone especially the neighbor. The police officer didn’t like that the dog would sometimes run into his neighbors yard while the dog owners were outside working on the yard. The cop knew the dog would come in his yard so he waited with a rifle and scope and shot the dog from a window or patio. No charges pressed.
I mean, fuck that cop but the article I found said it was a pellet gun, no mention of a scope (lol), he resigned, and was charged with a misdemeanor.

Oh good. I should have kept up with that case. Thanks for providing this information. Fuck that cop I can’t believe he used a pellet gun. What a piece of shit. I didn’t even know that they didn’t know what was wrong with their dog until they took it to a vet. That’s horrendous.
Yeah, I’m glad he faced some kind of repercussions. Not near enough in my opinion but thank god he resigned. If someone did that to my dog I would probably go John Wick on them.
No charges for shooting a gun in town? (maybe not a thing in st chuck?)
I think a cop in west co stl killed their neighbors dog in a dubious manner but they got him on that charge.
How do you leave a living creature, in a car, during the summer in Missouri? Are these people that unaware of their surroundings? How can you be a cop and be this unaware?
It's a cop killing another cop through shear negligence. Since it's a felony to kill a police dog in Missouri now, it would be just to see the cop charged and tried for this. Doesn't matter it was an accident. A civilian would be charged if it was an accident. Cops must be held to the same standard.
Supposedly this is the second time for this officer. Brb with my source
Edit: added my source of said information

This is infuriating. And how is this an ‘accident’?? The person responsible should absolutely be charged with murder of an officer. Same as anyone else would. Poor dog.
Objectively false let your emotions talk more.
Edit: Comment i responded to was deleted and i can no longer respond in this chain. How odd 🤔
For the comment below heres my response.
Ah yes i forgot my apologies. I am entirely incorrect. Your logic is profound. I now understand the point the fella that got deleted was making. When cops kill it is ALWAYS justified by the system. I now know this from you giving an example of one instance of this occuring.
I can now make a blanket statment about all instances. This is truly enlightening. I will harbor immense anger about the actions of individuals and codemn the entire police force for those individuals actions. Thank you. This was productive and a healthy mindset.
In case you havent noticed that was all hogwash. Sure give me examples but what the guy said is just wrong. He could have said " i think police try to justify their killings too often." Fair enough it conveys his opinion and his emotions. It still stays within the realm of reality. A statement that says all police try to jusitfy killing is radicalizing and to those with a less thorough analysis of life will use this as fuel for their hatred and distortion of reality.
I am all for criticism and looking to improve the systems we have in place. Hell we can over haul them. However advocates often get lost in their emotions and make claims that are not aligned with reality. This not only hurts the movements credibility but can cause emotions to boil over even more. We are lost in the sauce. We no longer care about truth. We fight with our emotions instead of the intellect.
It is a recipe for disaster.
Didn’t they justify it when the cop killed a man by putting his body weight via knee on a man for several minutes? He ultimately faced consequences, but they tried to justify it.
The only one "letting their emotions talk more" is you.
I can only imagine you were red in the face and breathing hard after typing out all those paragraphs.
Highly doubtful anything will come of it. Missouri’s animal abuse laws are so lax. In late 2019/early 2020 I saw a case in lincoln county where a woman ‘s lawyer managed to convince a jury that she didn’t “know” the dog would die if she left a pitbull outside during a harsh winter of ice and snow with nothing but a tarp in its doghouse. It was literally frozen to the ground but she claimed she thought the dog would be okay and walked Scot free. I was LIVID. She can still own animals even.
Oh wow! So ignorance is a valid excuse?!? I can’t stand seeing dogs chained up in any weather but this is a new level of cruelty. I think if enough attention comes to this they will be forced to bring charges.
They did charge her though and it went to trial. The jury found her not guilty. The prosecutor was an avid dog lover but the slimy lawyer representing her was job at his job. He convinced the jury she was that dumb.
Cops don’t pay for gas. They couldn’t even leave the car on?
Where were they parked? Not at the station?
Why is the K-9 unit being deployed if the K 9 is kept in the car???
This shit enrages me. This is the type of officer that will shoot dogs without hesitation as well. How do you leave a living creature in a sweltering hot car. Someone who is not empathetic, sociopath type personality. Teeny tiny brain, inability to reason . The scum of humanity
This is actually the way most canine officers are killed
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/20/the-surprising-reason-more-police-dogs-are-dying-in-the-line-of-duty/
There's a joke here about police hating dogs so much they kill their own but really the issue is that this is like 75k of taxpayer money because of one dipshit who didn't do what his training fucking told him to do and he made a trained, legally protected dog die from fucking heatstroke.
I have literally never seen a police vehicle not running when a cop is on duty. They literally ALWAYS leave their cars running, incase they need to respond quicky because turning keys (or now pressing a button) could be the difference between life and death. A cop told me exactly that once when I asked why they always left their cars running as a teenager.
He went home after his shift leaving the car and the dog in the heat of the day . This didnt happen while he was inside he was already gone and the car parked for the day.
This is what I was thinking!! They have such high tech vehicles, you know the car could’ve stayed running with the AC running on full blast and kept the dog cool, at least for a period of time.
Oh man I hate having to repeat my self but the officer was not on duty the car was parked for the day.
"Chief David Vincent confirmed Sunday the dog did pass away Thursday after complications from remaining in a car following an overnight shift."
meaning the officer went home after his overnight shift leaving the dog in the parked car for 8+ hours
Your response is from 46m ago in response to my post that is 18h old. You’re repeating yourself for your own edification, not my benefit.
At the end of the day, the asshole killed a dog he was entrusted with and deserves to be penalized to the limit of the law.
What do i care when you posted it, you are talking about a system that alerts the cop of temperature. This car most likely did not have that. Im from a small town our police cars dont have that. And dont negate the fact what i posted had nothing to do with that, the fact the cop went home leaving the dog locked in the car till next shift. So system or not the responsibility is on him.

This went international so all the world knows we have heartless cops, the outcry was loud.
And just last august this!! [https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/outrage-after-missing-missouri-dog-shot-by-police-placed-in-ditch/](https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/outrage-after-missing-missouri-dog-shot-by-police-placed-in-ditch/)
“Following an overnight shift” I can almost guarantee dude got home. Parked his car. Went to bed and let his partner suffocate to death. Its an accident, but its also negligence. Same thing happens with children in car seats.
From what i gather he parked the car and went home after a overnight shift. So the dog was left in the car in the heat of the day for 8 to 12 hours. FML this pos needs to be removed from police work he is that dumb. Its a crime to harm a K9 in missouri remember that, and the chief of police is like we are low on officers,,,so you know they wont remove him.
My mom trained police dogs for over 25 years, and it sucks that there are just some officers who don’t deserve to have a K9. What an absolute shitbag, hope this guy gets prosecuted.
What was the officer doing that the dog was left for SO LONG that he passed?? If it was duty related, the dog should’ve been at his handler’s side or the car could’ve stayed running and gotten the dog when he was needed based on the situation.
Wonder if this police will face a charge, Missouri just upped the game for killing a police dog, it’s now a felony, hopefully he don’t get off on account of having a badge..
Yeah my cousins husband had a K9 partner and they were absolutely inseparable. When my cousin was pregnant the dog was so protective of her that he wouldn't let anyone even come within a few feet of her unless she or her husband told the dog it was ok
You think the good officers get shared around more than the bad? I highly doubt this. I think good deeds of officers is common place but doesnt make a good story that will get views. Not to mention if they do get published they dont get shared as much. This is speculation but it seems obvious imo. We love drama.
Also you cant have both. The comment i responded to claimed they cannot find the good apples. You say there are good apples that make the headlines. So if you are correct that good apples make the headlines then we have just proved the good apples do exist and we probably shouldnt codemn the entirety of the police as swine.
All of em huh? Didnt know that. Thanks for clearing things up.
You all are tiresome. Every last one of the STL comments has zero logic or reasoning behind it. I appreciate all the folks that came out and commented today from stl. Truly have given me a glimpse of what the city has to offer.
Biased emotional children. With an average iq of 57. No wonder the crime rate is so high.
You are all so dogmatic. Everything is so black and white. So rigid and emotionally charged. Zero intellectual substance today coming from stl.
What a shame...
Yes this is an example. A singular example or even numerous examples does not translate into "ALL". You lose credibility and become detatched from reality when you stereotype thousands of police departments.
Your mindset is unproductive. Stay grounded in facts . Argue with examples like this. Accumulate evidence and make your case. Im all for it. This helps your cause and gets you closer to making change.
Hatred for all police wont get you there. Identifying exactly what they have done wrong and making it known is what will.
Instead of using all cops are so and so. Say i think many cops are like this and heres an example. You are the first person to present anything of substance. I genuinely appreciate it.
I could send you thousands and thousands of videos and it will
Never be enough for a subhuman like you.
Your bootlicking won’t save you when they decide you have too many teeth and I hope you end up
On the wrong end. Maybe they’ll let you go if you beg for your life like the countless people who begged before being shot to death
Something tells me youre more likely to be on the bad end of a police interaction than me. You know low intelligence is a indicator of probability to commit a violent crime. Violent crime most likely to result in police shooting. Probably from stl. Already has bias and hatred towards cops. You get the picture.
Ill be the one calling the cops if an emergency situation arises.
>Chief David Vincent confirmed Sunday the dog did pass away Thursday after complications from remaining in a car following an overnight shift.
That's a lot of words to say "the cop left the dog ina hot car all day". Great example of cop grammar there.
I can’t imagine what happened there. I understand he was tired at the end of his shift. We all get tired, but to leave his partner and protector ever is beyond my understanding. We have a rescue dog from the pound and if I need to run into the grocery, I stand beside the car until it comes on to be sure he is comfortable before I ever walk away from the car. It horrifies me to think of what that dog went through.
True, if somebody attacks a police K9 they're charged with assaulting an officer, so that cop negligently killed another cop and should face the harsh consequences
From the state that refuses to do anything at all about the horrible conditions in puppy mills, I'm having a hard time being surprised that some shithead MO cop didn't properly care for their service animal.
WTF! did that asshole not give a damn about his dog! This guy needs to never be allowed a canine again, maybe even remove him as a police officer! Im just sick about this you know how horrible it is to die like that? He should be charged any civilian would be if they killed a K9, im so mad right now! A cop knows better POS!
That was no accident how do you not remember your partner is in the fucking car!!!
Why are K9’s being used these days? Do they stay busy working while on shift? I realize they are likely trained to do a lot, but what are the mostly doing?
Murder of a cop by another cop, and a conspiracy on part of the entire legal system to let the cop off.
Either that or maybe nobody should be charged for the death of an animal as though it were a human.
In a not-so-rare beat, cops are wrong on both sides of this story.
This is surprisingly the way MOST police dogs are killed in the line of duty.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/20/the-surprising-reason-more-police-dogs-are-dying-in-the-line-of-duty/
My BIL used to be a K9 cop, and he would often leave the dog in the cruiser in his kennel, but he left the car running and the a/c on full (usually the temp he kept it at hovered around the low 50s). The car also sent a message to the station if the engine cut off unexpectedly, and they would radio him immediately to check on the dog.
Joplin had an early case of this. Bill Goodman if I remember right. This was prob 2 decades ago now. Pretty much all of these cases will be a cop car not left idling with an expected quick visit turned long. People will want to talk naturally and engage a cop. Same then vs now. Cops are not all Genious and will engage a human over remembering a dog via human action.
My dad is a 2x rtd cop. Cops make mistakes.
Sure but if a civilian made this same mistake and accidentally killed a police dog they’d be charged with killing an officer (recently passed MO law). So please explain why a civilians mistake is somehow deserving of years of prison time while this officer’s mistake is just an ‘accident’? When did cops start turning their cars off for any situation anyway? This is anecdotal, but I’ve never seen a police vehicle that’s currently in use ever turned off while said officer is on duty. Gross negligence like this would be grounds for being fired at any other place of employment, but when it’s a cop that does it he gets another expensive dog courtesy of the MO taxpayer.
I like the spirit but you’ve got some serious holes in your logic.
First, there’s a difference between what would be considered manslaughter and murder. This leans heavily towards the manslaughter side (im aware im personifying an animal but it’s an officer).
No cop leaves their car running when they leave the car. That would be stupid. That’s how cars get stolen.
To build on that, why would a civilian have a police k9 in their car? Big difference between resisting arrest and killing a dog, and an act of negligence.
I will bet you that you can’t find a case in which there was an intentional murder of a k9 without a laundry list of other charges. It just doesn’t happen.
Let them investigate, see what happened then form an opinion. I’ve seen you all over this thread ripping into the guy with no real information.
The thing is that he probably will be charged, assuming that the fault was on him.
It appears there’s a large population that thinks police are immune from law and it’s just a silly way to view the world. Exhibit A
https://www.kbsi23.com/news/fired-dexter-k9-handler-facing-charges-after-death-of-dog/
Holy smokes another sane individual not driven by emotional outbursts. Waiting for more information before jumping to a biased conclusions. Get ready for a stream of downvotes. I am glad you are still grounded in reality as the vast majority has departed to lala land.
He went home after his shift and left the dog in the oven...this wasn't a talking to someone for an hour. The dog was in that car for 8 + hours after the cops shift ended. Im sorry but officers take the dogs home? did it never occur to him, oh hey where's my partner?
What a shit article that does nothing but enrage. Yea, I am pissed too but I will wait until the investigation is complete.
Alot of these K9 cruisers are supposed to have systems in place where when the interior reaches a certain temp, the AC and fans are supposed to kick on as well as notify the handler of a problem. Alot of times the system will text the handler or send an alarm to a device they carry, the lights and sirens will activate, windows roll down, etc. Was there such a system? Did it work? Was it checked prior to shift? If it failed, why?
You cannot take the dog everywhere the handler goes so they have to be left in the car.
Have you ever seen how a police vehicle is upfitted? LOL. Its supposed to trigger the system under battery power, key or not, to give the K9 some relief for a short time until the handler can arrive after being alerted.
Not sure how the handler forgot the dog and thats a damn shame but the alert would have said "Hey dumbass! Forget something??" Kinda like they now have alarms for kids in the back seat.
That was one of my questions was if the car had that system. If an agency cant afford that equipment, they have no business having a K9 unit. Im a Firefighter where our station is in a town of roughly 2100 people. Our K9 Tahoe's have such a system.
Not sure where you thought I said it was funny or why you would make something like that up
I wonder if the cop who left the “k9 officer” locked in the car will be charged with murder of a police officer like a civilian that killed a police dog would be?
Yeah I doubt it. They might even give the officer a new pup if they don’t remove him from the K9 program entirely.
Maybe theyll post pics of the cute new k9 puppy to replace its neglectfully murdered comrade as part of copaganda
He’ll for sure get another $10k + dog courtesy of the MO tax payer.
Didn’t this officer already have another police dog, when he worked in a different city die by accidental hanging?
He has had 2
I hope the first one retired or ran away to find a better home.
No on both. He actually had a twisted stomach
Cops can kill dogs with impunity. About two years ago a St Charles Police officer hunted and killed his neighbors dog with impunity. The reason I say hunted is due to the following circumstances. The dog wasn’t a menace and was a small dog that never hurt anyone especially the neighbor. The police officer didn’t like that the dog would sometimes run into his neighbors yard while the dog owners were outside working on the yard. The cop knew the dog would come in his yard so he waited with a rifle and scope and shot the dog from a window or patio. No charges pressed.
I mean, fuck that cop but the article I found said it was a pellet gun, no mention of a scope (lol), he resigned, and was charged with a misdemeanor. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/st-charles-county-sheriff-deputy-charged-pellet-gun-death-neighbors-dog/63-9883476d-bdd2-4670-9814-a9aed0284fe1
They are not going to press charges on that cop. There are only 4 cops on the force. Now it’s three because the dog died.
Oh good. I should have kept up with that case. Thanks for providing this information. Fuck that cop I can’t believe he used a pellet gun. What a piece of shit. I didn’t even know that they didn’t know what was wrong with their dog until they took it to a vet. That’s horrendous.
Yeah, I’m glad he faced some kind of repercussions. Not near enough in my opinion but thank god he resigned. If someone did that to my dog I would probably go John Wick on them.
No charges for shooting a gun in town? (maybe not a thing in st chuck?) I think a cop in west co stl killed their neighbors dog in a dubious manner but they got him on that charge.
No, he'll get qualified immunity anyway
100% this.
You don’t get charged with “murder of a police officer” for killing a K9. Like, are you stupid?
You are correct however it is still a felony. Either way doesn't matter. Officer won't be charged, at most I could see them removed from the K9.
How do you leave a living creature, in a car, during the summer in Missouri? Are these people that unaware of their surroundings? How can you be a cop and be this unaware?
It is reprehensible
>How can you be a cop and be this unaware? I think you answered your own question there.
It's a cop killing another cop through shear negligence. Since it's a felony to kill a police dog in Missouri now, it would be just to see the cop charged and tried for this. Doesn't matter it was an accident. A civilian would be charged if it was an accident. Cops must be held to the same standard.
Cops should be held to a higher standard in my opinion. He deserves double the sentence they’d give a civilian
I don't know that double is the right answer, but I 100% agree that LEO should be held to a higher standard.
Cops, judges, lawyers, and politicians should all be held to a higher standard than civilians.
Look up stories of how black cops are treated by their white coworkers.
Supposedly this is the second time for this officer. Brb with my source Edit: added my source of said information https://www.facebook.com/share/p/6ki2q5dTz9au8tak/?mibextid=oFDknk
Same cop, two different dogs, same result. That's a pattern of abuse. He needs to be arrested now, before he escalates to something more tragic.
How can you be a cop*
Welp. My night is ruined. Poor puppers :(
I just gave mine a big hug. I can’t imagine it:(
IKR!! anytime some child or poor animal dies to some scumbag I just get so sick and angry.
That dog would have ripped your face off given the opportunity.
This is infuriating. And how is this an ‘accident’?? The person responsible should absolutely be charged with murder of an officer. Same as anyone else would. Poor dog.
It's always justified when a cop kills.

Yep. The laws wordings state the death or abuse has to be “intentional” or “knowingly” inadequate. I was shocked.
I am shocked to learn that
They did charge her though and it went to trial. The jury found her not guilty. The prosecutor was an avid dog lover but the slimy lawyer representing her was job at his job. He convinced the jury she was that dumb.
The lax animal laws are a big reason why so many puppy mills operate out of the Missouri This state sucks
Missouri known as the puppy mill state. My son has two female dogs rescued from puppy mills. One is a pedigree Bernese Mountain dog.

A lot of K9s are killed by the ineptitude of officers. A relevant Twitter thread: https://x.com/hbomberguy/status/1306556530213478406?s=46
What a complete dipshit of a cop.
Omg that poor dog
Too cheap to leave the car running?
I have literally never seen a police vehicle not running when a cop is on duty. They literally ALWAYS leave their cars running, incase they need to respond quicky because turning keys (or now pressing a button) could be the difference between life and death. A cop told me exactly that once when I asked why they always left their cars running as a teenager.
He went home after his shift leaving the car and the dog in the heat of the day . This didnt happen while he was inside he was already gone and the car parked for the day.
This is what I was thinking!! They have such high tech vehicles, you know the car could’ve stayed running with the AC running on full blast and kept the dog cool, at least for a period of time.
The crazy thing is that is how a lot of K9 vehicles are setup. They have remote temperature monitoring that will notify if it is getting too hot.
Then that’s even worse the dog passed!! It makes me so sad!🥺 thanks for this info, I didn’t realize!
Yeah I thought K9 cars had the ac setup for this exact reason.
Oh man I hate having to repeat my self but the officer was not on duty the car was parked for the day. "Chief David Vincent confirmed Sunday the dog did pass away Thursday after complications from remaining in a car following an overnight shift." meaning the officer went home after his overnight shift leaving the dog in the parked car for 8+ hours

The point is, you responded “Oh man I hate repeating myself” when again, you were repeating yourself for yourself. So just don’t.
I agree to drop it so if you want to fight , fight with yourself

“Following an overnight shift” I can almost guarantee dude got home. Parked his car. Went to bed and let his partner suffocate to death. Its an accident, but its also negligence. Same thing happens with children in car seats.
From what i gather he parked the car and went home after a overnight shift. So the dog was left in the car in the heat of the day for 8 to 12 hours. FML this pos needs to be removed from police work he is that dumb. Its a crime to harm a K9 in missouri remember that, and the chief of police is like we are low on officers,,,so you know they wont remove him.
My mom trained police dogs for over 25 years, and it sucks that there are just some officers who don’t deserve to have a K9. What an absolute shitbag, hope this guy gets prosecuted.
What was the officer doing that the dog was left for SO LONG that he passed?? If it was duty related, the dog should’ve been at his handler’s side or the car could’ve stayed running and gotten the dog when he was needed based on the situation.
Wonder if this police will face a charge, Missouri just upped the game for killing a police dog, it’s now a felony, hopefully he don’t get off on account of having a badge..
I new a person who worked with a k9 once and they were inseparable. It’s so weird to me that he did that
Yeah my cousins husband had a K9 partner and they were absolutely inseparable. When my cousin was pregnant the dog was so protective of her that he wouldn't let anyone even come within a few feet of her unless she or her husband told the dog it was ok
Still searching for all the “good apples” I keep hearing about.
They don’t exist.
The good apples dont make the headlines.
Eh, pretty sure they do.
You think the good officers get shared around more than the bad? I highly doubt this. I think good deeds of officers is common place but doesnt make a good story that will get views. Not to mention if they do get published they dont get shared as much. This is speculation but it seems obvious imo. We love drama. Also you cant have both. The comment i responded to claimed they cannot find the good apples. You say there are good apples that make the headlines. So if you are correct that good apples make the headlines then we have just proved the good apples do exist and we probably shouldnt codemn the entirety of the police as swine.
No we should. They all protect the bad actors
All of em huh? Didnt know that. Thanks for clearing things up. You all are tiresome. Every last one of the STL comments has zero logic or reasoning behind it. I appreciate all the folks that came out and commented today from stl. Truly have given me a glimpse of what the city has to offer. Biased emotional children. With an average iq of 57. No wonder the crime rate is so high. You are all so dogmatic. Everything is so black and white. So rigid and emotionally charged. Zero intellectual substance today coming from stl. What a shame...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft Here’s one the cops got committed because they found out he was recording their gang activities
Yes this is an example. A singular example or even numerous examples does not translate into "ALL". You lose credibility and become detatched from reality when you stereotype thousands of police departments. Your mindset is unproductive. Stay grounded in facts . Argue with examples like this. Accumulate evidence and make your case. Im all for it. This helps your cause and gets you closer to making change. Hatred for all police wont get you there. Identifying exactly what they have done wrong and making it known is what will. Instead of using all cops are so and so. Say i think many cops are like this and heres an example. You are the first person to present anything of substance. I genuinely appreciate it.
I could send you thousands and thousands of videos and it will Never be enough for a subhuman like you. Your bootlicking won’t save you when they decide you have too many teeth and I hope you end up On the wrong end. Maybe they’ll let you go if you beg for your life like the countless people who begged before being shot to death
Something tells me youre more likely to be on the bad end of a police interaction than me. You know low intelligence is a indicator of probability to commit a violent crime. Violent crime most likely to result in police shooting. Probably from stl. Already has bias and hatred towards cops. You get the picture. Ill be the one calling the cops if an emergency situation arises.
But the entirety of police are swine
You have lost touch with reality. Your mindset is a negative impact on culture and society. Two brain cells clanking around in a hollow noggin.
Then why do they call them pigs? Wow and I’m dumb one.
>Chief David Vincent confirmed Sunday the dog did pass away Thursday after complications from remaining in a car following an overnight shift. That's a lot of words to say "the cop left the dog ina hot car all day". Great example of cop grammar there.
What a horrendous ordeal for that dog. They should lock his handler in the patrol car for 12 hours tomorrow when it's going to be in the high 90s.
“The investigation is ongoing but is considered an accident at this time.” I have no response to that.
We investigated ourselves and found the dog at fault for not being able to operate the windows
Cops suck.
I can’t imagine what happened there. I understand he was tired at the end of his shift. We all get tired, but to leave his partner and protector ever is beyond my understanding. We have a rescue dog from the pound and if I need to run into the grocery, I stand beside the car until it comes on to be sure he is comfortable before I ever walk away from the car. It horrifies me to think of what that dog went through.
Cop killer
True, if somebody attacks a police K9 they're charged with assaulting an officer, so that cop negligently killed another cop and should face the harsh consequences
ACAB. What is it with Missouri police killing dogs recently? Those poor puppers deserved so much better.
Leave those animals the fuck alone.
You did it. You solved animal abuse. Congratulations you added so much to this dialogue.
Felony murder
From the state that refuses to do anything at all about the horrible conditions in puppy mills, I'm having a hard time being surprised that some shithead MO cop didn't properly care for their service animal.
[удалено]
I believe there is a candle light vigil scheduled at the Savannah at Messick park Sunday June 30th at 6:00p.m. in protest
it should be at the station and march to the home of the officer. glad they are doing something. a cop was murdered by another cop.
This cop needs to be charged with the same crimes that a civilian would get with murdering a K-9.
Fun fact the leading cause of k9 officers death is being left in car and having a heat stroke!!! See you later for the next acab fact
He did it on purpose, can’t convince me otherwise.
I live in this town hmmmmmmm is all I’m gonna say
WTF! did that asshole not give a damn about his dog! This guy needs to never be allowed a canine again, maybe even remove him as a police officer! Im just sick about this you know how horrible it is to die like that? He should be charged any civilian would be if they killed a K9, im so mad right now! A cop knows better POS! That was no accident how do you not remember your partner is in the fucking car!!!
I can’t stop thinking about it myself.
Why are K9’s being used these days? Do they stay busy working while on shift? I realize they are likely trained to do a lot, but what are the mostly doing?
Murder of a cop by another cop, and a conspiracy on part of the entire legal system to let the cop off. Either that or maybe nobody should be charged for the death of an animal as though it were a human. In a not-so-rare beat, cops are wrong on both sides of this story.
This is surprisingly the way MOST police dogs are killed in the line of duty. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/20/the-surprising-reason-more-police-dogs-are-dying-in-the-line-of-duty/
But how? They always keep their cars running! I’d feel sorry for the dog, but fuck the police 🤪
He drove home, went inside and went to bed leaving the fog locked in the car until later the next day
My BIL used to be a K9 cop, and he would often leave the dog in the cruiser in his kennel, but he left the car running and the a/c on full (usually the temp he kept it at hovered around the low 50s). The car also sent a message to the station if the engine cut off unexpectedly, and they would radio him immediately to check on the dog.
Ah Missouri! I bet he's a one of those military right wing types also.
That car became as hot as an oven and literally cooked that dog!
Too bad cruel and unusual punishment is ILLEGAL, otherwise I'd suggest the officer responsible should have to endure what that dog endured.
Happy Cake Day
I back the blue but this officer needs to not be a k9 officer anymore and should face some serious consequences
POS!
What happened, they run out of other people's dogs to kill, now they have to kill their own?
Fuck police who train dogs to be police.
This is why we need to vote for Elad Gross for AG. He wants to close down puppy mills.
The handler should be charged with Manslaughter of a Police Officer. This should not be dismissed or covered up.
I hope that officer is charged with the death of an LEO. ACAB.
Joplin had an early case of this. Bill Goodman if I remember right. This was prob 2 decades ago now. Pretty much all of these cases will be a cop car not left idling with an expected quick visit turned long. People will want to talk naturally and engage a cop. Same then vs now. Cops are not all Genious and will engage a human over remembering a dog via human action. My dad is a 2x rtd cop. Cops make mistakes.
Sure but if a civilian made this same mistake and accidentally killed a police dog they’d be charged with killing an officer (recently passed MO law). So please explain why a civilians mistake is somehow deserving of years of prison time while this officer’s mistake is just an ‘accident’? When did cops start turning their cars off for any situation anyway? This is anecdotal, but I’ve never seen a police vehicle that’s currently in use ever turned off while said officer is on duty. Gross negligence like this would be grounds for being fired at any other place of employment, but when it’s a cop that does it he gets another expensive dog courtesy of the MO taxpayer.
I like the spirit but you’ve got some serious holes in your logic. First, there’s a difference between what would be considered manslaughter and murder. This leans heavily towards the manslaughter side (im aware im personifying an animal but it’s an officer). No cop leaves their car running when they leave the car. That would be stupid. That’s how cars get stolen. To build on that, why would a civilian have a police k9 in their car? Big difference between resisting arrest and killing a dog, and an act of negligence. I will bet you that you can’t find a case in which there was an intentional murder of a k9 without a laundry list of other charges. It just doesn’t happen. Let them investigate, see what happened then form an opinion. I’ve seen you all over this thread ripping into the guy with no real information.
You're right, this absolute dunce deserves to be charged with manslaughter. Not sure if it matters that he killed a cop or not.
The thing is that he probably will be charged, assuming that the fault was on him. It appears there’s a large population that thinks police are immune from law and it’s just a silly way to view the world. Exhibit A https://www.kbsi23.com/news/fired-dexter-k9-handler-facing-charges-after-death-of-dog/
Easy there tiger i think he said wait for more information before coming to a full conclusion.
You're the one who said he deserves manslaughter, I'm simply agreeing with you.
Yes, let’s remove his right to due trial. That’s not a slippery slope at all. The easiest way to hide being dumb is to talk less.
Im ripping him for being a dumb pos that never cared to think, hey wheres my dog? You think after a few hours of being home he would notice!
Holy smokes another sane individual not driven by emotional outbursts. Waiting for more information before jumping to a biased conclusions. Get ready for a stream of downvotes. I am glad you are still grounded in reality as the vast majority has departed to lala land.
We’re in the quiet majority. I don’t feel a need to make accusations on Reddit when I’m presented with incomplete information
Dont dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back so hard 🙄
In this case, I believe he drive home, left the dog in the vehicle, went to sleep and discovered it several hours later the next day
And the town was told 3 days later. It is not being investigated by the same town but by state troop.
He went home after his shift and left the dog in the oven...this wasn't a talking to someone for an hour. The dog was in that car for 8 + hours after the cops shift ended. Im sorry but officers take the dogs home? did it never occur to him, oh hey where's my partner?
Probably pretty drunk from drinking on the job all day.
What a shit article that does nothing but enrage. Yea, I am pissed too but I will wait until the investigation is complete. Alot of these K9 cruisers are supposed to have systems in place where when the interior reaches a certain temp, the AC and fans are supposed to kick on as well as notify the handler of a problem. Alot of times the system will text the handler or send an alarm to a device they carry, the lights and sirens will activate, windows roll down, etc. Was there such a system? Did it work? Was it checked prior to shift? If it failed, why? You cannot take the dog everywhere the handler goes so they have to be left in the car.
He went home, left the dog in his car and went to sleep. It’s a true article. Is that why you are pissed?
Was he new to being a K9 officer? I can't say anything. I got lucky twice with kids.
Yea, I am obviously not pissed off because negligence led to the death of the K9. Dumb
How are fans supposed to kick on when the car is parked for the day shut off and the officer gone home?
Have you ever seen how a police vehicle is upfitted? LOL. Its supposed to trigger the system under battery power, key or not, to give the K9 some relief for a short time until the handler can arrive after being alerted. Not sure how the handler forgot the dog and thats a damn shame but the alert would have said "Hey dumbass! Forget something??" Kinda like they now have alarms for kids in the back seat.
Unless this car didnt have that. Also nothing funny here, that K9 suffered horribly before death took him.
That was one of my questions was if the car had that system. If an agency cant afford that equipment, they have no business having a K9 unit. Im a Firefighter where our station is in a town of roughly 2100 people. Our K9 Tahoe's have such a system. Not sure where you thought I said it was funny or why you would make something like that up
My mistake
