Iirc to get fcc licenses to broadcast the major channels had to agree to provide news. I think it got shut down by the Supreme Court or deregulated in the late 80s.

Cops are public servants and it’s gross that they have to be treated a certain way by reporters if anyone expects them to say anything.

Yeah, he was at the Turkey Trot there on Thursday, right at the finish line. What a mistake existence it must be to have nothing better to do on Thanksgiving.

I think you know exactly what I mean when I say this was statistically predictable. If the woman had almost any other breed of dog, this wouldn’t have happened. But she had a pit bull and now someone is dead as a result.

I’ve found that it’s easier to take something you like doing and then doing it socially rather than the other way around. Not sure that helps though.

Pit bulls are strong, so when they do attack they cause enough damage to make the news. They are no less or more likely to do so than any other breed. They just happen to be extremely efficient at our when they do attack.

Summary- all dogs need to be trained and leashed in any situation when they could be startled or triggered in some way.

Self-pour at a microbrewery is cool. Get your beer faster and customize the amount you want by paying by the ounce. Bunnyman Brewing is the only place I've seen it.

Me too, I don't work here

Also feels like ignorance is a defense here and shouldn't be. Just because she thought her shock collar would disable the dog and was super wrong about that doesn't mean that she isn't criminally negligent.

Yeah, no doubt.

Lol Colette is that you? If you didn't want people to criticize you, then you shouldn't have been the Commonwealth Attorney.

I clearly read (and quoted) the article I posted... There were no details of why charges were declined.

The dog was already using a shock collar, and it was unrestrained. That's all the information I really have.

If Commonwealth Attorney Colette McEachin wants to be more transparent, maybe I'd agree it was not appropriate to charge Tracey Hicks. Given the lack of transparency already, I highly doubt it.

You can rent a truck for a few hours and it shouldn’t be too crazy expensive.

Idk.

We don't need new appliances, so that's a chunk right there.

Where we want to put the island, it should only be the plumbing that needs relocation.

Really something you'd only understand if you saw in person/knew the situation. Not trying to hash this out over Reddit.

Haven’t seen that dude in a while. I figured he died.

Call/email the regional fire marshall. They'll have the best answer and can get things moving if it's not up to regulations.

Ok. My point was that every article I've seen about it, including this one, makes it very difficult to parse that he was a cop in the first place. You can see by how many people in this thread alone couldn't tell due to the wording of the article. The headline is ridiculous, should read "Virginia police officer shot dead after abducting teenage girl and killing her family." There are many people out there who won't read further and will never know that this is the kind of person hired for the police force.

$10k for the entire project?? Including cabinets, counters, appliances, rearranging electrical and plumbing, and other labor??

You’re right. He went to a county department but he had just started orientation on 11/16. It doesn’t say why he changed.
I don’t disagree with you that some bad eggs end up in the PDs. But, these are human resource heavy organizations. It’s not likely that you’re NOT gonna have some freaks. They don’t pay them worth a dag. I’m not sure why normal people would WANT to do that job. Hey, I’m not taking up for anyone, but the reality is being a police officer has to be a crap job. But, that doesn’t change the fact that, in spite of their struggles to get people among this labor shortage, that they should set the bar as high as possible including substantial psychological testing. Maybe this guy didn’t wave his “I’m a pedofile and a murderer” flag to these people. Serial killers live whole normal lives and no one knows.

I think at least there should've been something more for not leashing the dog.

Lol what does South Africa have to do with anything. I'm all for having laws, but the police ain't working. They have zero accountability, little training, and too much power/force behind them. Are you ok with guys like this patrolling your streets?

joe biden took er jerbs

He was employed by Washington county sheriff's office and he was a pedophile.

RACC always has plenty.

Yes I agree. Those are some eye opening statistics. I believe pit bulls make up 7-8% of the total US dog population yet they account for up to 69-70% of fatalities caused by dogs. This owner facing no charges for her dog causing this poor lady’s death is shocking.

Also that shock collar probably agitated that dog more so I’m not sure how that was supposed to act as a deterrent.

For sure there's more to the story. But we know he was a cop who was a pedophile and murderer.
