NY's "Finest" Not So Fine

Mrs Vache Folle brought home the NY Times yesterday to show me this article about appalling police misconduct in the Bronx: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/25/nyregion/25dog.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Several cops pursue a teenager who was smoking weed in a stairwell. When the kid went into an apartment, the cops decided to break in and were confronted by the family dog. The dog allegedly bit one of the thugs and was shot 26 times by the panicky cops. The only good to come of the incident is that a couple of them were wounded by ricocheting shrapnel. For the sake of a little weed, NY’s “finest” killed a beloved family pet and endangered the family whose home they were invading.

NY’s “finest” reckons that nothing inappropriate took place.

The Rolling Stones wrote a song about just such a thing back in the 70's called "Heartbreaker."

Oh, by the way, could we call this "reefer madness"?
