Cop sued for saving life!! WTF!!

Looks like the little sheep is mad at her sheep dog. I wonder why she didn't sue the wolves parents for raising such a @#$%^&.

Look at the Poll. Out of 888 people who voted, 23 sided against the cop. Isn't that about the same percentage of the population that are lawyers?  :P

More laws arent needed. We need lawyers with morals who won't take cases like this and judges who won't hear them.

On the surface it sounds crazy, but I don't know the whole story so I am not going to pass judgement.  That is what the court system is for.  Too many times the public jumps to a conclusion without knowing any of the facts, and the press prints a story without knowing all the facts.
