N. Idaho officer's pay cut after dog shooting

| October 20, 2014

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A northern Idaho police officer whose superiors determined his shooting of a pet dog in a parked van violated policy has had his pay reduced.

The Coeur d'Alene Press reports (http://bit.ly/ZCBWa5) that Coeur d'Alene Police Officer David Kelley's hourly wage was cut by $3.15 to $31.02 per hour.

Information obtained by the newspaper through a public records request found the reduction started Oct. 1 for the officer who has 17 years of law enforcement experience.

Police on July 9 put out a statement that an officer responding earlier that day to a report of a suspicious van shot and killed a "vicious pit bull" that lunged for an officer's face.

The dog turned out to be a 2-year-old black Labrador mix named Arfee, whose owner was in a coffee shop.

Wait.. Police makes 34 dollars an hour? Jeezus. Was it in a bad part of the neighborhood?

Doubtful, it's in Idaho.

Sorry Bama, you'll fail. Take that as a compliment, they only hire the dumbest and dimmest.

I'd be somewhat okay with this -- if the reduction in salary was going directly to the dog's owner as compensation for the rest of this pig's career. Assuming a 40-hour work week and 48 weeks of work per year, that would be about $6K per year. Not near enough though, needs to be at least double or triple that.

Though I'd prefer a firing and some sort of criminal charges and a civil payout, but yeah, like that's gonna happen.

At least his name is finally out there -- Officer David Kelley -- concerned locals need to make this guy's life hell (all sorts of ways to do that).

If you passed the electricians licensing exam then you will be over qualified.

It's a start?

I just found out about this today looking back through some old stories. I thought it was an Onion article.
