Dear Editor, I was morbidly disgusted to see a video on the local news of the cop in San Marcos who sadistically delayed a couple racing to the vet to rescue their dying dog. I see no logic in telling the owners to calm down. Why should they? A furry member of their family is dying as the stupid, heartless cop tells them, "You can get another [dog]." This cop not only allowed someone's pet to suffer and die but ensured that future desperate pet owners will not bother to stop and will risk a dangerous chase. A good cop would have escorted them safely to the vet.
