The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

In Memory of Fargo

FOLLOW UP TO;

Police Dog Down


Just one day after his K-9 partner, "Fargo" was shot and killed in the line of duty, Master Deputy Warren Cavanagh of the Richland County Sheriff's Dept., received the honor of Deputy of the Year.
The decision on the award had been made 2 weeks ago, but the official announcement was made one day after Fargo's memorial service. Upon receiving the honor, an audience of his peers gave him a standing ovation.

Under South Carolina's Code of Laws:


SECTION 47‑3‑620. Unlawful to torture, mutilate, injure, disable, poison, or kill police dog or horse.

It is unlawful for a person to wilfully or maliciously torture, mutilate, injure, disable, poison, or kill a dog or horse used by a law enforcement department or agency in the performance of the functions or duties of the department or when a dog is placed in a kennel off duty or a horse is placed in a stable off duty.  However, a police officer or veterinarian may perform euthanasia in emergency situations when delay would cause the dog or horse undue suffering and pain.

It is unfortunate that it is only a misdemeanor offense to do such things to our 4 legged partners. It should be a felony!

Thankfully, bail was denied for this sorry piece of shit.
