San Bernardino City police harass shelter dog networkers

Do you like animals? Do you go to a kill shelter and visit them? Do you give them treats? Do you take photographs and video of them in order to try and save their lives? Do you also shine light on the mismanagement of the shelter system? Do you use your 1st Amendment to give your own testimony? Well criminals, the cops may be poking around your area soon!

    I think it would be wise for her to get legal representation and file charges on the officers involved. It does not surprise me that they are trying to intimidate her. Control freaks. I’ve known my share but it can be dangerous in the hands of someone who has power.

  2. We’ve been covering this at Good Cop vs Bad Cop as well. Good thing we’re not in southern California, apparently, although we’re not women so I doubt Detective Verbanic would get off on threatening and harassing us. Anyway, thanks for the update and keep up the fight to save these animals from the sadistic cops in San Bernardino!

    I have dealt with rogue cops before, the sherrifs dept. and I was successful, the very best way is to first capture their image, …ys a picture …..then since this is a free country , still, yes………you let the public know who the bad guys are, through fliers, GOOD ONES, professionaliy done, postcards, and you send out and hand out 3,000 to 5,000 in the area, nothing is as effective, i was taken to court to stop me and even then they cannot as its freedom of speech so long as you state the facts……..its the best way to win and bring the attention to the public of the bad cops

    I think this is the same shelter that I have been questioning myself. I sit across the other side of the US, trying to help network animals throughout the day when I can. I see the people online that are so dedicated to saving just one single animal that they network and network them, hoping someone will step up to give them new homes. I started seeing a lot of pictures of dogs that never got that new home and were PTS. Wow, why are there so many of these pictures ones of pit bulls that were PTS?? Wow, here is one that had a rescue backer, yet it was PTS. There were so many that I started a folder on my computer and saved them to it! Hum, might get me into trouble there!! I even went and looked up the director that is supposed to be in charge of the woman that runs the shelter. I know that if you are a rescue group and make her mad, she bans your group from being able to pull any animals. Like she is a 2-year-old or something! I would have to go back and find it again to make sure this is the same California shelter that apparently needs to get its act together, or replace the woman in charge of it. I’m not familiar with Maria’s story, but I will be now!

    These so called “public servants” have their brains screwed in backwards. Instead of serving and protecting the public, they terrorize them, try intimidation tactics and out and out abuse of the honest citizens while they protect the criminals. If you call them on it they will ensue in making your life a living hell and put you on a secret enemy of the state list. Mind you, this is only done to good, law abiding citizens. They have no respect for us and want us to know that. The lawyers let them get away with this too because if they defended us in court then they would also get terrorized. Now we must watch the poor little animals suffer due to their atrocious hatred. The cops think they are the boss and we need to know our place. Just so wrong. We would be better off having none at all.

    Can we get this posted on You Tube somehow?
    This needs to go viral.
    How about a petition site.
    The FBI investigates cops that is for sure.
    Where is PETA when we need them? Oh that’s right, they are there to
    kill the animals during disasters while other independent small rescue groups are breaking their backs to save them.
    OK these bullies are killing the dogs the day they are available for adoption.
    I have heard they scour facebook to see who is saying what about them and go after them across county lines to terrorize them, making false accusations.

    Help!! Can we get this on You Tube? Thanks for speaking out.

    God Bless
