Cop Loses It During Road Rage Incident

[@KRUSTYskates]

Assault on a cop is a felony. Assault on a citizen by cop is a 5 day suspension and bs classes???

[@airraverstaz]

A buddy of mine who works for GE just got suspended when he left work due to tooth pain without informing anyone. He got a 4 week suspension, broken into 2 weeks with a week in between (union rep pulled some strings so he'd at least get paid somewhere in between). All that to say......What the absolute hell? A 5 day vacation is unacceptable. Like it actually infuriates me, cops are supposed to he held to a higher standard and should be punished more harshly when they break the law.

As the man grew in anger by my cavalier attitude and reached into my cab, my buddy had come down, front paws placed on my lap, and was furiously barking and snapping.

I thought the same thing. I also have a Great Dane. She's the sweetest dog, but she is very finely tuned to body language and she will try to get in the way of anyone that doesn't have obviously friendly intentions. When new friends come over we have to hug or shake hands and smile in her view to show her they are welcome or else she will try to pin them down. We didn't teach her that, we had to learn to direct it. Very good dogs.

[@Tekraftian]

I find it absolutely fascinating. Going frame by frame the dog's ears perked up the exact moment the officer stopped, but yet before he had turned around to hit the driver. It's amazing how the dog can already determine the officer's intent to harm from such a small change in body language.

[@Taino871]
