If this were the case, and it was anything resembling a common and accepted practice, I would bet my life savings he would not have lost his career over it.

It is a bizarre story to be sure, and I was the one who shared it with the OP.

I will say this, it is always unfortunate when one act defines a career, but with the situations officers would face on a daily basis, judgement has to be a strong suit.

On this day, for this dude, it was anything but. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere, but not on a police force.
Exactly, if this was an acceptable practise, we would never have even heard about it. If it was putting a sick or injured animal out of it's misery, we would never have heard about it. This could have been spun multiple ways to make it seem at least somewhat acceptable, and to just make it go away, but that didn happen. As such, we can only assume that the media report is likely at least somewhat accurate, as to what happened, in order for charges to result, and this incident to make the news. Yes you did share the link with me, but it has already been posted on Facebook, by several people, who found the fact that this happened, just as disgusting.
