"A dog shot to death by a Hendersonville city police officer wasn't a stray, but a family pet who had wandered to a city park."
"Officer Tim Torok shot the dog after an animal control officer had called for backup, saying the animal had bitten her."
"Torok arrived to find the animal on a leash."
"Video from the police car camera, aired on Nashville television stations, shows Torok taking the leash, then pulling his service pistol and shooting the animal." ...
"Lewis [the dog's owner] says Torok provoked his dog, lifting the leash and choking it."
"Hendersonville Mayor Jim Fuqua issued a statement Wednesday, expressing his disappointment that the dog was shot and saying it appears the officers had less drastic options, had they thought ahead." |

TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
