"Officer Stephens might have said some aweful (sic) things"
That's it in a nutshell, scooter. If he had said what he did as a private citizen - no problem. Unfortunately, he was acting as a public servant and showed an attitude problem unbecoming of an officer of the law. As for the mayor and chief, again it is attitude. When the mayor said "people are just looking for things they can get angry about" she threw gas on the fire. I totally agree with her statement that "this is a sad situation for all concerned". If the situation had been handled better, the dog would have probably died anyway, but a police officer wouldn't have embarassed himself, the police department and the city of San Marcos.
