Did ya hear about the cop who stopped a guy for speeding while taking his dying dog to the vet? The dog was choking, and while her owner was pulled over, the dog died. The officer responded to the pleading man by saying "it's a dog. You can get another one."

If I'd been stopped for speeding (which I was) while trying to get to the vet on Tuesday, and the officer had made such a remark to me, I can't say I would've been able to control myself.

Here's the video, if you can bear to watch.

I was watching this on CNN and they were taking call-ins. Someone suggested that the policeman could've escorted him to the vet and THEN given him the ticket after she was receiving medical attention, just as they probably would've had it been a human emergency. I'm not saying he didn't deserve a ticket at all, but it sure could have been handled a lot more sensitively.

Thoughts?

No, I was just acknowledging that I was speeding (30 mph over the limit.) Thankfully I didn't pass any cops!

Oh, ok, I totally read that wrong and almost freaked. :(

Hey, can you email me your address on myspace?
