Yes, but not just any dog. This was police officer Bingo, a member of the Toronto police services K-9 unit.
They held a procession for him along Yonge Street and down the Don Valley Parkway this morning.
Why was the funeral procession required?
Police had been dispatched to apprehend a man suspected of murdering someone last week. He started shooting at the police and ran.
Officer Bingo cornered this guy in a backyard and this piece of crap gangsta pulled out his gun and shot Bingo dead.
The police returned fire and unfortunately only wounded this piece of crap. He has a bail hearing this morning. With the bail system we have here, he'll likely be back on the streets this afternoon "in the care of his parents".
Usually it's just piece of crap gangstas killing other piece of crap gangstas in Toronto. But last week in Leslieville, a very nice downtown neighborhood, three drug dealers got into an argument - next to a safe injection site, I guess a turf war - and pulled out their guns. Rather than killing each other they killed a 44 year old mother of two young girls.
Senseless.
And becoming all too common.
