Its funny to me how people are quick to call police officers "Crooked Cops". But, i bet the same people would be calling for their help if they were being mugged, beaten up, robbed, etc. Everyone with this attitude needs to just move on. Theres always 1 bad apple in the bunch and always will be. Sorry to say it.

ATTENTION ANIMAL LOVERS!!!! A 5MOS PUPPY lost her innocent little life just because she was scared and looking for a place 2 hide. she was killed in cold blood by the CROOKED COPS that work out of the eastside substation. Animal lovers of San Antonio, please help us raise awareness with the ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS today by signing a petition where this incident took place..1907 hays. these cops abuse their badges,the uniform and most importantly the OATH they took. help us take these cops off the streets of the citys east side. these dirty cops are teaching their bad ways to the rookies and that is not fair to the community. when does it stop? when will they realize they can't do whatever they want and get away with it. if they have harrassed you, assaulted you, intimidated or even threatened you the way they did a reporter, come sign our petition and help us get them off the streets. the only stories the public has heard is theirs and all the reports are wrong and with the exception of kabb29 (there is actually some truth in their story). officers told a camera guy if he spoke to anyone standing watching events unfold that he would have his (cameraguy) job. even the title in this story is incorrect (pit bull attacks officer responding to shooting) the only shots fired were from the cops. help us get justice for all the wrong they have done. we need to stick together and stay strong...POPULATION IS POWER and the more support we have, we can see positive results in the end. if an officer was attacked where are the reports of an officer being treated 4 an attack?? if you are 4 ANIMAL RIGHTS, COME MEET US OUT THERE AT THE VICINITY OF 1907 HAYS AND SIGN OUR PETITION. with the community's help we can make a difference. read the comments of PALLADIN..has to b one of those pigs, so now they are threatening 2 KILL (deadman) the young man who was residing there. and 4 LINDAB..don't wory about your brother since no 1 was attacked its a lie.

for those of u daming pits, shame on u for being ignorant. ANY dog can be a threat if u have RAISED it that way. c'mon,use u'r heads, these CROOKED COPS knew who they were after and what they were going to do-for them it was planned. if u were there then u know what happened. u can't pass judgement if u don't even know the facts or the people involved that were there. the young MAN (whose name is on a lease,not a woman-1of many LIES) came out HIS home with hands up in air and the PUPPY behind him, why and 4 wut reason would these dishonest pigs tell him 2 pik up his puppy & take her back nside-were they going 2 search her,was she also being investigated or was SHE the so called HOSTAGE?? these demonic cops that YOUR tax dollars pay for shot a 5mos old PUPPY simply because she was running trying to look for an ESCAPE-SOMEPLACE TO HIDE. also, if she was such a threat then how is it that these sapd pigs were able to get thru the yard with 2 FULL GROWN ADULT MALE PITS, she was already outside why didnt they just leave her outside?? these SAPD officers have been heard bragging & laughing about in the neighborhood and think wut they did was right. they beat the man while he was trying to protect his head from kiks, punches & batons from more than ten officers. the young man was told 2 put his hands behind his back while laying on the floor & then would start getting beat & thes pigs were telling him 2 stop resisting--now how n the hell is that resisting?? if these cops were so honest why are several of them under investigation already? why is one (a MALE officer) being investigated for searching a 12yr old child?? all they do is harass people because they think they can. they think that no 1 will complain against them but they are wrong because now they have messed up. but then again thats wut PIGS do, mess up. these jerks, especially CLARK & MUNOZ, need 2 b taken OFF THE FORCE and with help from the citizens of SAN ANTO, we can do this!!! MZ. B, WE WILL GET JUSTICE 4 U

little does everyone know the pit bull they shot was a 5 month old puppy registared and had all her shot. her name on her certifecate is "MRS.B" Saucedo. The girl that they say was being held hostage lied she called from her own house on the southside pulling a little kid prank.And also when the officwer shot MRS B he not only shot once but twice and he bragged about it. Several officers including officer Clark and officer Munoz beat the guy with thier patons and stomp on his head. Left him really banged up. He had to go to the hospital on his own after being released from jail. Thank God these dumbasses with badges didnt shot him. The east side substation officers are known to abuse thier badges. To Be honesat with you they all should be taken off the force
