On the flip side, one person's accusation doesn't mean it DID happen. Again, it's not like people have never accused the police of things that weren't true. And when one is frantic and upset and feeling helpless, it is easy to misinterpret things over the phone.


Yeah, there are a few bad apples. But that doesn't mean every time a cop is accused of something, they've actually done it.


I mean, your gut reaction was that the cops were somehow in cahoots or covering for the dog-killers, from what you've said here. Cops and their families end up dealing with a whole heck of a lot of people who tend to think the worst of cops, and if you are making that leap, it would be harder to take your word on the laughing part.

And finally, the news reports I have seen don't technically say that the cops laughed, they just quote the person's accusation. And even if they had, well, the fine members of the media are every bit as fallible as cops are.
