Teacup Poodle Murdered by Police

It's not often that this blog intersects with my social commentary blog or my webzine, Rational Outragee, but here's a story that fits all three: In short, a Texas police officer pulled over a couple for speeding. They WERE driving much too fast and he was right to pull them over. But when he learned that the couple was racing a teacup poodle to the vet in response to a life-threatening emergency, he told the woman to "chill out". It was only a dog, he told her, and she could buy another one. And then he detained the couple by the side of the road until the dog died.
