Like in the movie Highlander: There can only be one.

There can only one with liscene to commit all manner of violence with absolute impunity.

The guy was commiting an armed robbery. In this case, the guy was sentenced not only for shooting the dog, but in the act of committing a felony. It was not a simple innocent attack victim defending himself.

Maybe, but I would bet if it was just another Mundane that he killed rather that a canine member of the controlling class,, the sentence would have been considerably lighter. They make no secret of the fact that they believe the lives of certain dogs are far more valuable that the life of any Mundane.

Of course. In like manner, if a cop raids the wrong house and shoots the dog, they serve no time. In a case like that, the cop should do 35 years too. When someone totes deadly force on a daily basis, they had better be all squared away, accurate in all official business and smarter than the average bear. The smallest fault with a "law enforcement official" is magnified 100 times. Moving with the weight of LAW and firepower of a small army, they need to be held accountable to the extreme.

Welcome to the new Amerika and unless the people start doing something about this you then haven't seen anything yet.

The thing is that this dog probably really did threaten him, certainly he put himself in a situation where you sort of have to expect that violence may be used against you. But what should he have done, layed down and had his throat torn off? In this particular instance it seems the judge equates the life of a police dog with a police human... In principle I don't think that is wrong, maybe the dog should in this instance be more worth :), but the penalty still seems excessive...

Robbery is a friggen joke in Amerika

If you commit a strong arm while its raining and get arrested.

Before your clothes are dry you will be back on the street to pick up where you left off before the "momentary pause".

Darkie is doing the time because he shot a schocktoopers dog.

Hell im even amazed he made into the station house and out to a court appearence.

Fear, control and compliance is the rule these days, they want you to comply with their commands. Fear is part of the control they want you to feel. Anything popo is right and you are wrong, and if you shoot a popo ether the 2 legged or 4 legged that has their symbol of authority (badge), they will ether kill you or at least come down on you and yours like a ton of bricks.

Fear, control and compliance are in "their" playbook, forget that at your own risk, in these days of the "new" paramilitary street minders.

Imho.

[Ponce]

Fear controls more than bullets.

kill a cow for the meat in cuba? you'll get 30-35 years in prison, kill a man? ......you might get 5 years...lol

He only got 5 years for the dog. This was tacked on top of 30 more years served consecutively. The dog accounts for the last five years. On the "bright side", they did drop a few of the charges for the plea.


According to this website: http://www.thestate.com/2014/01/06/31928.... (http://www.thestate.com/2014/01/06/3192806/man-accused-of-killing-police.html) - he pleaded guilty to five counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to the maximum of 30 years for each, to be served concurrently (one count was dropped as part of a plea bargain). He also pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful killing of a police dog and was sentenced to five years for that, to be served after the 30 years. If he had not plea bargained and had been convicted following a trial he faced life in prison without parole.
