    Since when do cops do stuff like this? Is this some white privilege or something I’m confused.

      They don’t probably unless you know them or it is a really slow day.

      1. After the first time the dog should have been on a leash
      2. In the words of Billy Madison, you get your ass out there and you find that f@#$ing dog. Don’t use emergency services when a shovel will do.

      I could see it in a small town. Some cops actually are interested in helping people. I knew some Trenton cops that would hang out on the corner with some neighborhood kids and buy them bodega treats even though they didn’t have to. Still not trusting a cop until I feel them out though

        The cops in my town are too busy talking about rights that don’t make sense. In this case, Beau has the right to be stuck in a groundhog hole. Can’t go interfering with his rights, regardless of whether that hurts his family or the groundhog!

          Do you have an example of cops talking about rights? That sounds like a generally good thing, but I’m probably missing something.

            The right to privacy is stronger than an individual’s right to enjoy their own home here. You can do whatever you want on your property and the cops do not care if it bothers literally every neighbor. Running circular saws at 5 am, cool. Debris from wood working piling up on everyone’s lawns, cool. Literally shooting nails into a neighbor’s house, cool. Threatening to drive anyone out of their homes who gently asks for noise to be kept to normal working hours, cool. Threatening to shoot people’s dogs, and throwing spoiled meat (and their own dogs excrement) at a house or into a yard, cool. Harassing potential buyers when you give up and try to sell your house, cool.

            Unfortunately all of the neighbors who have called the cops about them are women

      They show up and use about 200 rounds to shoot the hole bigger, all while a SWAT team is watching from a nearby roof in case the groundhog came back.
