'I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT AS A HAZING'

  • VIRGINIA COPS, THEY AIN’T TOO SMART: “Five Virginia Department of Corrections officers have been charged with animal cruelty involving the fondling of a K-9 dog and videotaping the two incidents … ‘Essentially, he was touching the dog’s penis with his hand,’ Beasley said. ‘The others were there filming it. That’s actually how we learned of it — there’s a video.’” Oh fine, one more funny sentence: “‘I would characterize it as hazing,’ he said, claiming that Thompson was told by the others, ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.’” [Culpeper Star-Exponent, the best name in newspaper history]

    Take THAT, South Carolina!

  2. WickedWitch says at 3:41 pm, October 30th, 2009

    I would characterize that as bestiality.

    No wonder some people in the Old Dominion were against mixed marriages. They didn’t want their children to grow up to be dog lovers.

  3. Darkness says at 3:42 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Every vet who handles dog breeding is going, um, so?

  4. Mild Midwesterner says at 3:43 pm, October 30th, 2009

    It’s called doing it doggy style, and you’re doing it wrong.

  5. sati demise says at 3:43 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Laura told George the same thing about a horse!

    Bush is still too afraid to ride.
    Didn’t work for him either.

  6. Darkness says at 3:44 pm, October 30th, 2009

    ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater chance of it humping your leg at inopportune times.’ — fixed.

  7. finallyhappy says at 3:45 pm, October 30th, 2009

    So is this because they didn’t want to be touching each other? Gay, no, Bestiality, yes? Is this a southern thing?

  8. slappypaddy says at 3:46 pm, October 30th, 2009

    ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.’

    there is an important and valuable insight to be gleaned from this over the issue of how best to control inmates in jails and prisons. and middle schools. and legislatures.

    I always wonder how they got Eddie to do all those clever tricks on Frasier.

    That Eddie was such a slut.

  11. slappypaddy:
    And town halls.

  12. ManchuCandidate says at 3:49 pm, October 30th, 2009

    I wonder at what point does one realize that life might not be working out for them when one is jerking off a dog?

  13. pub_option says at 3:50 pm, October 30th, 2009

    The Officers who were fired are now working for Wackenoffhut.

  14. PlanetWingnuta says at 3:50 pm, October 30th, 2009

    hmmmm please tell me they vote republican….

  15. PrairiePossum says at 3:51 pm, October 30th, 2009

    ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.’

    I’ve heard the same thing said of GOP congressmen.

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 3:51 pm, October 30th, 2009

    PlanetWingnuta:
    It’s implied.

  17. It’s all fun-n-games until the cops show up…with a jar of Skippy peanut butter.

  18. x111e7thst says at 3:54 pm, October 30th, 2009

    K-9 unit, put KY on your unit, masturbate: so easy to get these things confused

  19. PrairiePossum says at 3:54 pm, October 30th, 2009

    I can’t wait for the new National Geographic Channel show, “The Dog Masturbater.”

  20. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 3:55 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Virginia is for . . .

  21. WestEdEd says at 3:57 pm, October 30th, 2009

    WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?

    Trust me, google the above phrase, it’s on point.

  22. shadowMark says at 3:58 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Cops and dogs. Yeah. Does anyone wonder why Meghan won’t show us her breasts any more?

  23. So he’ll be adding “K-9 fluffer” to his resume after he gets fired? In this economy, you’ve got to keep all of your options open.

  24. V572625694 says at 3:59 pm, October 30th, 2009

    “Department of Corrections officers” are, uh, prison guards, right? Not cops. Cops are much smarter: if they want to control a K9 unit they just slam the shit out of it with walkie-talkie.

  25. magic titty says at 3:59 pm, October 30th, 2009

    So I’m the only one who *got* Newell’s reference to The Strokes??

  26. Why buy the dog when you can get the milk for free?

  27. See, Rick Santorum was right!

  28. bitchincamaro says at 4:04 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Let me know when they’ve got tape of cops drinking margaritas out of a chiuaua’s ass, will you?

  29. CumaeanSibyl says at 4:07 pm, October 30th, 2009

    WestEdEd: SON I AM DISAPPOINT.

  30. SayItWithWookies says at 4:07 pm, October 30th, 2009

    And they said chivalry is dead.

  31. I think I read something about this on a toilet stall partition once. (Which, btw, is the origin of Wikipedia.)

  32. Judas Peckerwood says at 4:10 pm, October 30th, 2009

    According to the story, these actions took place in “Goochland County.” C’mon, those poor guys (and dogs) never had a chance.

  33. PoignancySelz says at 4:10 pm, October 30th, 2009

    This would NEVER happen in McDonnell’s Virginia.
    Wanna buy a liquor store?

  34. Come here a minute says at 4:11 pm, October 30th, 2009

    I’ll reserve judgment until I read about it in the newspaper of record, the Manassas Moon-Integral.

  35. slappypaddy says at 4:12 pm, October 30th, 2009

    WestEdEd: “WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? Trust me, google the above phrase, it’s on point.”

    okay, i did. slow afternoon in the office, but what i found is NSFW. or for much else.

    that’s it, i’m going back to 1975. i’m going to hang from a huey skid and be evacuated from saigon, it makes more sense.

  36. bitchincamaro says at 4:12 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Cocktober’s reached the nadir.

  37. Scruffy_The_Janitor says at 4:14 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Anyone report on whether the dog enjoyed it??

  38. HoboNutz says at 4:15 pm, October 30th, 2009

    So Vick sets up a dog fighting cage, and you all cry. Now these cops show a dog some love, and you all cry. There’s just no pleasing you all

  39. chascates: Oh, Virginia brought their ‘A’ game on this one. The part I find hard to understand is:
    How did they convince him that jacking off his dog was standard operating procedure?
    How did they convince him making a video of him jacking off the dog was standard operating procedure
    Can we now expect a hand job as part of traffic stop procedure if we’re ever given a ticket in VA? I’d don’t think I’d want it, but it would be nice if the state patrolman offered since following their logic it would make the entire experience more pleasant for all concerned.

  40. This gives a whole new meaning to “tossing the cells”.

  41. The training manual clearly said, “If your K-9 Unit gets excited and jumps on someone, pull him off.”

  42. user-of-owls says at 4:23 pm, October 30th, 2009

    “The White House confirmed today that President Obama has invited Kelvin Thompson and his dog to join the President for a beer in the Rose Garden next Friday.”

  43. friendlynerd says at 4:23 pm, October 30th, 2009

    P Drizzle: they’re just milking the dog…

  44. user-of-owls says at 4:25 pm, October 30th, 2009

    dijetlo: You’re not the only one who is somewhat baffled:

    Asked if he knew why the officers videotaped the incidents, Beasley replied: “I don’t have the slightest idea — I really don’t.“

    I’ll be surfin’ YouTube real soon. Gotta see this!

  47. Enumclaw is for lovers.
    ^Horse

  48. RoscoePColtraine says at 4:29 pm, October 30th, 2009

    They told us gay marriage would lead to this. These Iowa cops were obviou….what?…..Virignia? They told us miscegenation would lead to this. These Virginia cops were obviously…(blah blah, you get the idea.)

  49. Doglessliberal says at 4:30 pm, October 30th, 2009

    That’s “Culpecker” to locals.
    Those in the know also refer to Manassas as Manasshole.

  50. Doglessliberal says at 4:31 pm, October 30th, 2009

    PlanetWingnuta: It is Culpeper. The odds are pretty good. They use Democrats for target practice down that way.

  51. Extemporanus says at 4:32 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Jim Belushi is now a Department of Corrections canine officer?

    I guess considering that he’s made about 20 movies that involve dogs, I shouldn’t be too surprised.

  52. couchbound says at 4:32 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Scruffy_The_Janitor: who was that marvelous corrections officer?

  53. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:32 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Pardon me if you heard this one before.

    Two guys are walking down the street and they come across a dog licking his doggy dick.
    First guy says, “Gee, I wish I could do that.”
    The second guy says, “I think you better pet him first.”

  54. Doglessliberal says at 4:33 pm, October 30th, 2009

    JMP: but no, because the VA Constitution bars any partnership between two unrelated people that conveys any of the benefits of marriage (yes, it is that broad), so VA has gone a long way toward keepin’ out teh Gheys. So animals should be safe, right?

  55. Doglessliberal says at 4:34 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: ah, OK, it is Goochland. So no odds. It is guaranteed that they voted Repub.

  56. RoscoePColtraine says at 4:35 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Play with Rover’s dick, boys! He’ll “love” you ’til the day you die.

  57. Lazy Media says at 4:39 pm, October 30th, 2009

    When did dog handlers become worse than frat boys when it comes to the hazin’? Don’t they need empathy to work with animals? WTF?

  58. Lazy Media says at 4:42 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Better punchline from the late Lewis Grizzard (who was an asshole, but funny): “That dawg will BITE yewwww!!!”

  59. Doglessliberal: It’s seeped in and contaminated VA from those dirty, gay-loving New England states and (sort of) Washington across the river! Besides, Leonard v Texas made man-on-man sex legal all through the country, and that’s what has made man-dog sex OK according to the old frothy mix of lube and fecal matter.

  60. AnSnarkist says at 4:45 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Swear one day we’re going to leave this town. Great, now I’m going to have to listen to New York City Cops.

  61. Doglessliberal says at 4:49 pm, October 30th, 2009

    JMP: Yeah, VA has been forced to acknowledge Leonard, but they amended the Const right quick so them Gheys cannot be in loving, long term relationships with legal benefits because that makes the marriages of us straight people explode instantly. Or something.

    And Frothy Mix seems quite fixated on outre sex acts. Methinks he protesteth too much…

  62. takes12no1 says at 4:49 pm, October 30th, 2009

    WestEdEd: not exactly sure how “on point” it is…unless Va. corrections officers happen to be teenaged boys with a fetish for pokemon….well…but that was very funny nonetheless. as Peter Parker said: My responsible this.

  63. the problem child says at 4:57 pm, October 30th, 2009

    ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.’

    I thought a K-9 unit was all the dogs and handlers at a given facility. Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?

  64. assistant/atlas says at 4:59 pm, October 30th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Apparently only when you get caught.

  65. jimmyjack says at 4:59 pm, October 30th, 2009

    “In Virginia, bestiality is covered by crimes against nature, which could have resulted in a felony charge, according to state statutes. But a felony charge requires “carnal knowledge” of a “brute beast,“ implying intercourse, said Beasley, who added that he consulted with the state veterinarian’s office before filing the charges.”

    Note to Lynn Cheney: No Dick for you in Virginia.

  66. Doglessliberal: Yeah, he’s gotta have something hiding in his closet; those who are so obsessed with what other people do with their genitals always do.

  67. Pat Pending says at 5:01 pm, October 30th, 2009

  68. gurukalehuru says at 5:10 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Oh, where is that magnificent hound?

  69. gurukalehuru says at 5:24 pm, October 30th, 2009

    If he got fired from the Department of Corrections, maybe he can get a job at the dog POUND.

  70. Crankenstank says at 5:44 pm, October 30th, 2009

    I’m pretty sure the dog didn’t consider it animal cruelty.

    I’ve always had my male dogs’ balls snipped off, socialist nazi communist that I am, but I’ve heard other owners claim the same thing as the K-9 cop quoted in the article.

    Conclusion: PETA’s just against ANYONE having a little fun.

  71. They really screwed the pooch this time.

    Wank the Dog.

    Hound job.

    etc.

    and I thought redstate was the 101st Masturbatory Battalion. WOLVERINES!!!1!

  75. pinko-commie says at 8:19 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Sexual acts with animals definitely goes in that category of, “If you do it, please spare the rest of us and never talk about it.” Like eating boogers. I just don’t want to know.

  76. couchbound says at 8:54 pm, October 30th, 2009

    Come here a minute: I read it in the Falls Church Phobos-Fourier Series, so it must be true.

  77. Paul Tardy says at 9:17 pm, October 30th, 2009

    They should thank their luck stars that there are no people cruelty laws.

  78. Should have revived the photo of those two people hazing the Washington Post furry for this.

  79. Extemporanus says at 10:09 pm, October 30th, 2009

    pinko-commie: Where do you stand on sexual acts with boogers?

  80. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:37 pm, October 30th, 2009

    bago: NOT ANYMORE! That dude moved to Tennessee, apparently. Still involved in horse-lovin’ :

    Lascauxcaveman: Did you notice that the robo-advert on this Horse-sex newspage, which was “Selected for you by a sponsor” is from “The Mustang Muscle You Dreamed Of”… well Yiff Yiff Yippie Kai Yea, Horsefucker!

  84. CanadianBacon says at 12:21 am, November 2nd, 2009

    ‘If you masturbate your K-9 unit, you’ll have greater control over it.’” Especially if you don’t let go.
