This is bullcrap. He didn't lose his actual position, any rank, or any pay. His fine? $256.25 Cheaper than my last vet bill.

"ACWORTH, Ga. (AP) -- A police officer whose police dog died of heat stroke after being left in a patrol car has been charged with violating the city's cruelty to animals ordinance and removed from the K-9 unit.

Lt. Curtis Endicott also paid a $256.25 fine Thursday in municipal court, Acworth Police spokesman Capt. Wayne Dennard said."

That's complete BS. If you have ever seen news reports about people killing police dogs they go to jails. And this asshole gets a slap on the wrist and a small fine.

Look at this news report

*Edie is charged with murder of a police dog, five counts of attempted murder of a police officer, burglary and resisting arrest. Killing a police dog is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.*
