I want to talk for a second about police dogs in general, but this guy in particular:

Copper, an American Black and Tan Coonhound. He’s the only cop dog who doesn’t bite and doesn’t snitch, and his department is using him as a political prisoner to make a point.

A 🚔🧵 The TL;DR:
Copper is a search and rescue dog, a therapy dog, and a courtroom companion animal. He was part of a move by my hometown police chief @cocoapolice to move toward trauma-informed community support.

But the new chief wants another drug and bite dog, because of course.
