Emergency Trip to Veterinarian Stopped

Sometimes, human behaviour is so very disappointing. - A couple was rushing a choking dog to a veterinary clinic. The police stopped them. Officer Stephens’ interaction with the motorist included the following:
“…When he finally pulled over, Gonzalez pleaded with Stephens to let them get to the clinic.
The patrol car’s dashboard camera showed Stephens telling Gonzalez: “It’s just a dog. You can buy another one. Relax.”"

The dog died. The police could have turned on their sirens and escorted these people to an emergency service. Instead, the priority was to issue a ticket. That couldn’t wait.
