Cue in Beach Bum with another officer appreciation post, sprinkled with more anti Ron Paul downer spice and anti abortion sauce.
There are way too many cops like this, just like there are way too many crooked politicians with nice hair, but hey, as long as they look good and fake bringing in 10 million in donations, its all good.
Sick Puppy: Cop Buries Dog Alive After Beating It

http://networkedblogs.com/kFf6W An Ohio County, Kentucky Deputy Sheriff joined the millions of Americans on unemployment, after public outrage exploded in the wake of his treatment of a dog who had been hit by a car on the highway.
After being summoned to the scene by highway workers who witnessed the hit-and-run accident, 5-year veteran Deputy Randy Taylor decided NOT to do the decent thing. He did not simply take the dog to a shelter or vet for treatment, or even contact animal control authorities to do that for him. Instead, he proceeded to try and put the dog out of its misery, not with a bullet (as is police SOP for just about any contact with a citizen’s loyal canine companion), but by beating it with a garden tool.
Failing that, he proceeded to bury his victim alive. Fortunately, the dog was tougher than the deputy, and was found 3 days later, wandering the roadside in need of assistance. This time, someone with a lot more sense and compassion than Deputy Taylor was able to get the dog to a vet, where it’s being treated for its injuries and is expected to survive.
Deputy Taylor may actually face criminal charges, but that has yet to be announced (and I suspect that as a matter of “professional courtesy, he wont be. Being kicked out of the state’s high caste of armed enforcers of “The Law,” and losing all the power, privilege and perquisites that accompany membership is the worst punishment they can deliver).
