Does the Village have a leash law? If so, are K9 officers exempt? Has anyone confirmed what the officer said about an agreement?
What I hear from some is the fear of repercussions for standing up to public servants. How troublesome. What I would expect is that the officer's supervisor would be very embarrassed about the officer's conduct. Where I grew up officers were part of the solution and not the problem. Now it seems we have to look over our shoulder to make sure those who work for us do not have some revenge in mind.
Does the Village Board have public meetings? If so, I would check to see if you have to state your intention to appear so you are on the agenda. Then explain what happened and express your disappointment for the purpose of ensuring this unprofessional conduct does not happen to others.
