Some heavy fist beating and a 12-pound rock hurt the six-month German Shepherd mix so badly last month, the owner had to bring the dog to a veterinarian where the she was euthanized. LA County assistant fire chief Glynn Johnson, 54, was helping bring the runaway dog back to the owner, his neighbor in Woodcrest, when the dog clenched onto his thumb. Johnson, who was charged last week with felony animal cruelty and other counts, said his only choice was to hit the dog in self-defense, his lawyer said in court today. They also said the media and animal activists unfairly characterized the incident as an attack on an unprovoked puppy. Half a year old or not, the lawyer said the dog was big enough to do damage.

whatever, asshole. rot in hell.
12 lbs. rock? I didn't catch that detail when the story was first reported. I hope he is convicted of his charges.
My neighbor's kitten once scratched me, so I beat him to death with a the trunk of a redwood. I don't think Johnson used excessive force.
This is a very bad man - fortunately for us, he is now out of public service, and out of the business of "taking advantage" of the public works system. If you research this jackass he has played every card in the system... and cost the tax payers a ton. Now we need to defend his ass in court too - but I hope he gets what he deserves... Eye for an Eye, asshole!
Unfortunately, this 12 pound-6 month old puppy was the victim of a beating so severe they couldn't put him back together again. Just what the hell did a puppy do that justified this? The fact that we trusted this man as a Fire Chief - wow! His supervisors need a phone call, and they need to have thier pulse checked.
Attention bad people - what goes around comes around...
My cat weighs a couple pounds less and bites and claws me daily, sometimes digging in deep. That doesn't give me any justification to beat the crap outta her, I love her unconditionally, she plays hard, nothing to punish over. What a JERK.
