Mean Cop Won't Let Owner Rescue Cat In His Tree
Mean Cop Won't Let Owner Rescue Cat In His Tree
A Phoenix cat named Brutis got himself into some major trouble when he ran up the wrong tree. The tree belonged to a police officer who refused to let Brutis' owner onto his property to remove him, citing liability concerns (and causing outrage in the neighborhood). picked by suebe 11 months ago

Definitely an a*****e neighbor (his career field has nothing to do with the story)

Yes there are liability issues. Yes, a waiver could be made useless with a good lawyer. However he could have rescued the cat himself.

But then when he fell he'd have to be the one to sue. He's just refusing to contribute to a litigeous society!

Which neighbor are you talking about? The one who called the Animal rescue, the one who did everything he could, and then got his friends to come out and save the cat himself?

Or the neighbor who was yelling for the cat and waking everyone up at 2 a.m.? The neighbor who was trying to 'sneak' up there at night? The neighbor who tried to get the cat to come down, with a water hose, in the dead of winter?

Frankly, I'm with the cop on this one. It seems like he was being reasonable and that safety for humans climbing up a two-story tree to rescue a cat WAS a concern. He did cooperate with everyone who was taking safety procautions and eventually he and his buddies went up there at risk to themselves to help the animal.
