“A police officer left his K9 forgotten in a squad car for 3 days. The vehicle showed horrific signs that the dog had tried to escape, including ripped seat belts, bite marks in the leather seats, scratches on the windows, and a broken rear-view mirror.
Any regular person who harms a police dog (or horse) gets a FELONY. No charges have been filed against the neglectful handler. To top it off, the dog was buried in the handler’s backyard without being examined or given the usual police funeral.
I firmly believe that no ‘special’ crimes should be associated with a certain class of people, based on occupation, gender, religion, minority status, sexual preferences, etc. What I am trying to address here is the glaring double-standard of punishment when the one at fault has a badge. There was also a felony covered up that is not being investigated.”
Alexis Stevens at WTXL.com reported:WORTH COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL)–A police dog is found dead in a patrol car in Worth County, Georgia.
The situation has some south Georgia residents outraged.Police say it appears 10 year old Sasha had been in her handler’s SUV for several days.
The police report states that Lt. T.J. Frye said Sasha must have let herself inside the Chevy Tahoe while he was out of town. What really has the community upset is that he and another man buried the dog in his backyard.
It’s a disturbing image former police officer Eugene Bedal says he just can’t get out of his mind, a dog fighting for her life.
“I was heartbroken,” said Bedal. “It really upset me the way the dog died and locked in a police car where she couldn’t get out and to see how she destroyed the inside of the car tore me up.”
Police say it it looks as though Sasha tried to get out of the Tahoe breaking the rear view mirror and chewing a seat belt.
Lt. Frye came home September 3 to find Sasha, the narcotics dog dead inside his Chevy Tahoe.
Eugene Bedal says he orchestrated Sasha’s move to the Warwick Police Department after she retired from a south Florida law enforcement agency so she could continue working.
“She was doing what she enjoyed and I had promises from the city the dog was being taken care of,” said Bedal.
Now Lt. Frye has resigned.
“Our police chief has wrote letters to the GBI and Sheriff’s office and the investigation is in their hands,” said Warwick City Attorney Tommy Coleman.
Bedal wants an investigation done but he says more importantly he wants a proper burial for Sasha. He says she was not only a police officer but a hero.
A Facebook group called “Justice for Sasha” has gained a lot of momentum. The goal of the page was created in hopes that Sasha’s body will be exhumed and an autopsy performed so her exact cause of death will be revealed.
Lt. Frye has resigned. Hope that piece of shit is held accountable. A simple mistake would of been if he left the dog in his unit for a couple hours. This is a case of plain stupidity.
This will be a good test case of double standards. Badges do not grant extra rights. He is responsible for this, and as the article says, if you or I would have done that to a police dog, or any other dog for that matter, we would be in jail.
Section 38.151 of the Texas Penal Code: It is a felony of the 3rd degree if a person kills a police animal.
A felony of the third degree is punishable between a minimum of two years and a maximum of ten years in prison.
Any one else would have charges brought against them it it was their dog. Also the dog in question was a police officer in the eyes of the law. The charges should be greater as this was a death of a police officer.

Yeah, the dog somehow opened a door on the vehicle, and then somehow closed it, trapping itself in the car. That makes a loooooooooooot of sense. Or maybe it squeezed through an open window but somehow couldn’t squeeze back out, that also makes a loooooooooot of sense. Or maybe it used a magic spell to teleport inside the car and then forgot the spell once it was inside.
Another example of cops saying incredibly stupid shit and thinking people will just swallow it because they’re the police.
How does a dog open a car door and then close it? It doesn’t, of course, but you’re just a civilian, so shut your mouth and don’t object to our incredibly dumb excuses that not even a 6-year old would believe.
How do you forget a dog for 3 days?
The dog must have let himself into the car? Really? That’s the best that this piece of shit can do? That dog died a horrible torturous death, and this weak-sauce fuck can’t even man up enough to admit he fucked up. Well, just like with tasers, since cops can neither utilize nor care for them properly, they should be taken away.
Yes, dogs can open car doors, just look at YT though the circumstances around this makes one question the ’3 day vacation’
In GA, its a misdemeanor. Throw in ‘police dog’ its a felony, but one must again prove ‘knowingly’ AND ‘intentually’ – you’ll never prove both in this case.
Eat shit and die, troll.
Besides, I’m pretty sure that although you might find a video of a dog managing to open a door, I doubt there are any in which the dog pulls the door shut behind him. And anyway, shouldn’t a police vehicle have been secured if the cop was going to be away from it for 3 days? I bet the fucking thing was locked, just as the cop left it with the dog inside.
fact hurt don’t they liberal pussy…
facts hurt don’t they liberal pussy…
yes common they do, so its fortunate that you never have many to throw around.
It’s not so much opening the door that gets me as the contention that the dog somehow managed to close the door. Unless he was having a good old time biting stuff – which you don’t think a police dog would do inside a police vehicle – and bit the door handle and pulled it closed, which seems a bit unrealistic to me.
LOL, I wonder if you’d say that to me in person, shitbag.
@Common
Surely you don’t actually believe the dog let itself in the car, and then closed the door on itself. Come on.

Please join our facebook page for sasha. A company has donated free decals to spread the word about her.
K9 Sasha- One Cause-One Reason-One love
Also It has been verified and confirmed from her previous and original handler that she was NEVER trained to open car doors!
Oh, please people. The dog opened the door and shut it to commit suicide. Dogs can open doors and shut them too because the dog has thumbs.
Hey Common, look up the legal definition of NEGLIGENCE.
Anyone, anywhere, who has tried to shift the blame in this case to the dog and away from the officer, who was negligent at BEST, has proven themselves to be utterly lacking in any of the forms of reason or sanity. This would be a good test for a psychiatrist to administer:
“Can, and will, a dog open a car door, climb inside, and shut it behind itself in an attempt at suicide?”
(if the answer is )”yes”
“Lock this one up, he’s batshit crazy with no hope of a cure!”
