It Don’t Matter If They Did Find Meth In His System , ( And I Hate The Stuff Myself), But That’s Beside The Point..The Deputy’s That Released The Dogs On Him, Should Have Been Charged With Murder, Just Like Anybody Else Would Have Been. They All Knew Him And Knew He Wasn’t Going Nowhere. This Is Just Them Trying To Cover Their Own Hindends.😡
@Diane, the dog was released when the man charged them with an axe. They cannot predict what someone, especially someone who is high, is going to do, no matter how well they know them. These officers have families to go home to every night too. They don’t deserve to be hurt or killed just for doing their jobs.
