K9 – The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Hot-Dogging Enough

Salem County Sheriff’s Sgt. Cody L. Henderson, supervisor of the K-9 Unit, has been charged in the deaths of K-9 Rip and K-9 Boomer. Prosecutors allege the dogs were left in a patrol vehicle for nearly 7 hours with the heat alarm system reportedly not activated. [More]

I’ve heard of them grilling one at a time before, but this is the first professional I’ve seen trained enough to pull off a daily double…

So… what was he doing all that time?

We’re the Only Ones Hotdogging Enough

‘Handsome’ Hawaiian police dog dies after being left in hot car by handler… “The K9 handler involved in this case is devastated as you would expect,” Mahuna said. [More]

“Devastated”?

Not “fired”?

Not “arrested and prosecuted,” as would happen to any one of us if we killed a K9 in self-defense, and in a much quicker and more humane way?

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

This take on the story seems more accurate than the “news” headline.

We’re the Only Ones Hotdogging Enough

A Savannah, Missouri police officer is now charged in the death of a K-9 officer earlier this year after being left in a hot car overnight. [More]

And he turned off the failsafe alert sytem.

Scrolling down, I see a lot of similar torturous deaths over the years. Perhaps an article is in order.

We’re the Only Ones Grilling Hot Dogs Enough

The Savannah Police Department confirmed on Monday that its K-9 Officer Horus tragically died last Thursday after being left in a hot car overnight. [More]

“Tragically” is the most appropriate adverb the “real reporter” could think of?

“Stop resisting! Stop resisting!”

The dog’s not the only irredeemably vicious animal I see here.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
