Why were state troopers spared abuse charges?
Regarding your article on Jack McCall Jr., who was arrested and charged in connection with an animal abuse case involving the kicking and throwing of four dogs chained in his backyard:
The abuse was captured on video by a neighbor.
The trooper who was hanging his dog, kicking him and shocking him with a stun gun, also was captured on video, but he never has been charged.
The rest of the State Highway Patrol K-9 unit personnel who used those training methods never have been charged. They all should be charged with animal abuse and assault on a police officer. Abuse of a police dog is considered an assault on a police officer.
It looks as if the State Trooper K-9 unit is above the law.
