I’d really like to know what kind of idiotic language this abusive cop used to make this insane arrest. But I should carefully watch my speech, lest anyone try to arrest me for “contempt of cop,” which as Alan Dershowitz once remarked, is “anything less than total worship of the uniform.”

This is a form of abuse of authority. No doubt this dog charge will be dropped, but the question is the standard of professionalism (or obvious lack thereof) within this department.

Including showing common sense and avoid making frivolous criminal charges. When I read of people being arrested on insane charges like “public profanity” (this is just another example) or “unauthorized snacking,” it is truly a sign that some police officers don’t have enough to do to keep them busy. Maybe because really violent crime is down in their neck of the woods?
