Officer Miller left his K9 officer in a hot car and his fellow officer and partner died as a result of the negligence on his part.
Bennettsville Police Department has refused to charge this officer of the law. Many, like myself, are outraged and have an opinion that had he been an ordinary citizen, he would have been arrested. There has been so much advocating for animals and not leaving them in hot cars. In fact, many ordinary citizens have been arrested for that very same reason.
Bennettsville Police Dept seems to be brushing this matter under the rug. Actually, it is very obvious. The department is portraying underhanded procedures and the public wants justice!
I think some investigation of their procedures need to be looked in to at the very least. Officer Miller committed a crime. He should be charged as a result and be held accountable.
I created a petition on August 15th Change.org that has already sparked 1300+ supporters from all across the globe.
This matter needs attention. Justice is justice no matter what. This Officer should not get special treament. We want him to be held to the standard of our current laws just as we are!
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. I am moving forward in proposing Tank's Law in loving memory of this K9 officer and partner in Law Enforcement (as well as all other animals who are neglected and abused).
