Animal - cruelty?
Five correctional officers charged in dog fondling
Five Virginia Department of Corrections officers have been charged with animal cruelty involving the fondling of a K-9 dog and videotaping the two incidents.
...
Terry N. Grimes, a Roanoke attorney representing Thompson, said his client planned to plead not guilty but admitted to fondling the animal.
“I would characterize it as hazing,“ he said, claiming that Thompson was told by the others, “If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.“
That hypothesis might have something to it, but it does rather detract from the butchness of the officers. I see the makings of a Reno 911 episode here
