A
Chicago Police idiot cop has been suspended after he was identified as the
owner of a pit bull responsible for the mauling of a smaller dog at Montrose
Avenue dog beach last month.
Audrey
Fisher and her daughter, 12-year-old Fayla Rodriguez, brought their dog Willy—a
2-year-old Pomeranian Papillon mix—to the dog beach to play with his favorite
pink ball when the pit bull decided he wanted it and attacked Willy to get to
it. Fisher incurred $5,700 in veterinary bills; Willy died three days later.
The owner of the pit bull simply walked away from the scene. Park District
rules state the owner of a dog who attack other animals at dog parks are
responsible for the veterinary bills.
He
never did. Cell phone camera photos captured the image of the dog and his
owner, which was distributed on flyers near the beach. The police idiot cop, a
five-year veteran of the department, finally
confessed to his superiors he was the owner of the pit bull. He was
relieved of his duties pending an Internal Affairs investigation, while the
department's Animal Crimes unit cited him for not reporting the incident within
24 hours. The Police Department said in a statement they "(expect) its
members to demonstrate the highest standards of conduct on and off duty and
will not permit wrongdoing to go unaddressed."
When
Fisher found out the owner of the pit bull was a cop, she was stunned.
“I
can’t tell you how this has been weighing on me, and on Fayla, who witnessed
her dog practically being eaten,” said Fisher. “This is a man protecting our
streets. Instead of acting like a cop and taking charge, he cowered out like a
sissy girl and ran away. I expect justice to be served by the Chicago Police
Department. I expect them to make one of their own follow the law and pay this
bill he incurred when his pit killed my puppy, and I expect them to make him
give my daughter and I an apology.”
