Colorado has been especially insane with policing as of late. There was another case recently where an "off-duty" police dog jumped a fence into a neighbors backyard and bit a girl having her 2nd birthday party. It also bit her father when he jumped in to protect her leaving both with lifelong injuries. The county ruled that the officer gets qualified immunity and also that they're not responsible for the medical bills because the dog's handler was "cleaning urine out of the dogs crate at the time" (a highly-trained K9 pissing in its crate??) therefore this happened "while performing official duties."

Another man just won a $24 million judgement against Parker, CO police after a detected arrested him and ran his name through the mud for hiring an attorney for his son who was accused of shooting two people. The detective claimed he had tampered with evidence and was an accessory to the crime because she was mad the son had an attorney so quickly. She was able to retire and face no accountability.

Another judgement was handed out against police there for raiding the wrong house based on nothing more than a ping from Apple "Find my device." They cuffed a 78-year-old woman at gunpoint and ransacked her home despite doing no investigation prior to doing the SWAT raid.

I also see tons of bodycam videos out of CO showing blatant rights violations that routinely go unpunished.

It seems like the more "liberal" areas of the country always have some of the worst police. We see the same here in Portland and Seattle too.

Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

It's Aurora

Just a guess, but I don’t think what they said was in good faith. Sounds like a failed attempt for mock the language

Pedo kind of makes sense to me. The Spanish double r is an alveolar trill, which is very similar to the alveolar tap, which is expressed in English as the letter d between vowels (like in "butter"). Therefore rr=d I guess. But I have zero idea about madera. In Spain madero is a pejoritive for police, but I have no idea why the cops themselves would use it, and I'd have a hard time believing google translate spit that out before literally any other word

In spanish - castilian slang "maderos" are "policías", perhaps from there?

But what the hell were they going for with La madera??

La migra?

And what gringo has never called their precious perro a pedo?

The cops need the dogs as probable cause generators.

Sniffing dogs are useful for more than just drugs/explosives, they can be used to help find lost/missing/kidnapped people and find buried bodies.

In all fairness, I don't speak Spanish, but the other comments here are breaking it down pretty clearly, that the officers spoke some really piss poor Spanish.

As far as police dogs, different dogs and even different dog breeds are trained exclusively for specific tasks...

• Violent Perpetrator Pursuit (Often German Shepard)
• On The Run Perpetrator (Often Bloodhound)
• Missing Person or Corpse Sniffing (Also Often Bloodhound)
• Drug Sniffing Dogs
• Bomb Sniffing Dogs

I'm no full expert on this, but I do know for a fact that they train different police dogs for specific tasks, and often (but not always) train specific exact breeds for specific tasks.

Still, dog in Spanish is perro, not that other word they said...

Along with any motherfucker that thinks its an acceptable form of street retribution

Dogs are fantastic for the police, and if you're a criminal, they're much better than getting shot.

Nonsensical, your request for abolishment is REJECTED.

I've seen the results from dog bites. That 200,000 might not be enough to make up for your lost function/enjoyment-of-life. The damage can be pretty nasty.

It's the US though the treatment costs for papercut probably would bankrupt you.
