Old story, but still very disgusting. Jack booting thugs try to take dog away from owner. Do the cops not have anything else better to do besides to annoy and pick at citizens over trivial nonsense? The police chief and cop that issued the citation are the exact reason why most people hate cops.

Waterford Township considers changes to pit bull ordinance

The Waterford Township Board of Trustees is considering changing a community ordinance that bans pit bulls to allow a veterinarian to determine a pet’s breed.

Tillery adopted the dog June 6 from Harper Woods-based Detroit Dog Rescue and posted a photo of Diggy and himself upside down and smiling that went viral and was shared by news outlets nationwide.

But days later, due to the media coverage and calls to the Waterford Police Department, officers visited Diggy at Tillery’s home and determined that Diggy is part-pit bull.

Really?? 19 cars against 1 in a high speed chase? At what point are they going to make these high speed chases illegal? The cops pose more a risk driving at these speeds in wet weather than somebody with tinted windows or a busted taillight.

Move to Nashville. Our officers are not allowed to pursue unless there is a hostage in the car and a reason to think the person will be murdered. Works great. One guy that they didn't pursue after he stole a BMW last year wound up killing a bunch of people at the Waffle House a couple of days later.

Sadly most people who adopt these types of dogs have no idea how to take care of them and protect the public should an accident occur. I'd like to have a pet bear. I've got fenced acreage and barn it could use for a den. For now, I am bearless. Part of living in society. I bet they'd let me have a bear in Russia though.

So are you for high speed chases or not?

It would be different if the dog was a known menace and terrorizing the neighborhood. All this dog was doing was licking the face of its owner on a few Fakebook photos. You don't just paint with a broad brush and make stupid laws like this one.

There are a lot of places where pit bulls are prohibited. Lots of rental housing won't accept them either. No saying it's right or wrong but I figure if the pit bull people are not going to help me get a bear then I'm not going to get worked up about them losing their dogs.

The high speed chase thing is a double edge sword. It has become a real problem in Nashville because all of the criminals know that if they run the pursuit will be cut off. Most of them, the police eventually catch but they will probably victimize some more citizens in the mean time. Personally, I'm okay with shoot to kill on anyone who flees in a car. Easier on everyone in the long run.

Dumb laws. The general public has far more to be worried about than pit bulls... or bears for that matter. So even your sarcastic comment highlights the ridiculous measures we will take for trivial threats in our daily lives.

I really do want a bear. When I was a kid, some neighbors one block over had two pet cougars. Triple fenced enclosure. The were responsible. Then Joe Savage's cats turned on his daughter and we all but banned exotics unless you're a rehabilitator.

About 15 years or so ago I was coming home from work and got passed by a contingent of cops flying down the wrong way doing at least 60 mph. Turns out they were on their way to rescue a brother cop who had been stabbed while making a traffic stop.

Once the truth was told, it came out that the cop stabbed himself in the leg with his pen knife and claimed someone else did it. I don't trust cops because they lie and protect their own kind that lie.

I've had police do me a lot of solids over the years. If we didn't have them, it would be a blood bath and it wouldn't be the poor and downtrodden who come out on top.

I don't know much about Georgia tickets. In Florida, if the cop doesn't show you simply ask the judge to dismiss. The ticket will be dismissed. Another option here is to change your plea to no contest and the judge will withhold adjudication on the offense. You pay the fine, but no points and no guilty for your insurance company to used against you for rates. The judge may have you do a driving class, as well depending on your driving record.

Most states have a deal where you can do a class in exchange for a reduction on the ticket.

How much time do you think officers spend in court on an avg weekly dealing with tickets?

? I’m not saying cops are worthless but how many crimes are prevented by police? They are usually there to take names and collect evidence after the fact.

I’ve seen both types. Bad and good. Yes and Barney fife. Broke down my back door , I’m standing there 9 months pregnant, at 3 am, and asks me if I’m having a heart attack. Well, I think I’m actually in labor now, what’s the address you are looking for... well that’s across the street Mike, you might wanna check there. Had to go to village council to get my back door paid for. 🙄

Similar thing happened to my mom. She disconnected her landline and they must have assigned the number to someone else. That person called 911 to say someone was breaking in and it showed my moms address. No idea why they didn’t confirm it. She said she woke up at 2am to a guy trying to open her front door, then moving to the side door and trying that one. Never announced themselves. She had her .38 and called 911 to report a break in. Took them awhile to put two and two together. Who knows what happened to the person that actually needed the cops.

And that justifies them going after pit bull owners and weed smokers? Drivers with tinted windows and busted taillights?

See, you can't on the one hand argue that cops are so vital to the stability of our republic, yet then turn around and defend cops trifling in matters so trivial as reefer, pit bulls and busted taillights.

Here's the thing. I'm not the kind of person who gets crosswise with authority. If my taillight is out, I expect to get checked and I'm going to be respectful and put the officer at ease if that happens. I've actually have police follow me home to make sure I got home safe when they could've given me a DUI all because I behave like a decent human being. I guess the first amendment gives me a right to act like an ass 24/7 but the old first amendment doesn't do you much good when it's you and someone you've just pissed off in a dark place with no witnesses.

That comment doesn't do much to help the cops' defense in here. Seems like even you acknowledge that something nefarious could happen if no one is looking over the cops' shoulders. Very telling comment on your part.
