A San Marcos police officer is nationally known this week for his 
insensitivity to the two dog owners he pulled over as they rushed their 
dying pet down Interstate 35 toward a New Braunfels emergency vet clinic.

The officer, Paul Stephens, didn’t know what he was getting himself into 
when he clocked the couple’s vehicle allegedly traveling at 95 miles per 
hour on the interstate at about midnight on Aug. 5. His dashboard camera 
and audio recording caught him telling the driver that “It’s just a dog. 
You can buy another one. Relax.”

The officer messed up right there and according to Associated Press 
re****ts, the San Marcos police chief orally reprimanded the officer and 
counseled him on improving his job performance.

This is BS. 95 mph at night is super-deadly and this idiotic couple could 
have easily killed a bunch of innocent people.  I hate cops but this one 
was in the right all the way.
