"...a Pittsburgh man was jailed last week and held on $100,000 bond. His crime? Threatening a police dog that startled him with a growl as he walked by."
...at [his] arraignment, District Justice Gene Ricciardi put him in jail and set the bond.
"A police dog is a police officer. There is no difference under the law,” Ricciardi tells KDKA.
From the comments at the link is a sentiment I can get behind -
"A police dog is a police officer."
That concept has always bothered me. It's a felony if a person kills a police dog but it's "an isolated incident" if a cop accidentally murders a human. What is wrong with this picture?"
