Two summers ago I was out walking my Goldens in the middle of the afternoon within a stone's throw of my house. An unmarked car came peeling around the corner, screeched to a halt next to me and two uniformed "officers' jumped out of the car, grabbed me and threw me up against their unit, slapping the cuffs on me. One of them started screaming a me "WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!!!WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!!!WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!!!!!
I was stunned. I had this red-faced cop screaming and spitting saliva in my face while I'm bent over the trunk of his car, handcuffed and helpless...... and all I was doing was walking my dogs. At that moment one of my neighbors comes running around the corner yelling "NOT HIM, NOT HIM, NOT HIM, IT'S NOT HIM!!!!!" The cop asked him "Are you SURE!". When my neighbor said he was sure (I wasn't even wearing clothes similar to what he described, nor did I have a beard, and I was taller and heavier), he unlocked the cuffs, said "You are free to go." He and his partner hopped in the cruiser without a who, boo or how are ya? and took off..... I had apparently been mistaken for someone who had threatened a neighbor with a knife. The same police held my 7 year old godson at gunpoint when he and some friends were playing cowboys and indians with cap pistols and a clown with a badge, a gun and a crown vic passing said he saw a "Gang situation" and pulled down on the seven-year olds.......all three little kids peed their pants.... Call me paranoid, I try to limit my exposure to police.....you can make fun about foil hats and the like, but...

A guy I work with was yanked out of his vehicle on mistaken identity. No sorry or anything. I guess if they apologize then it puts them at fault 100%. |

So when it comes to responsibility the same timeframe should be used for adult humans and puppies? Well, if that doesn't make perfect sense, what does?
