You are correct in the identity of the veteran. I do not know his history, just feel IF it is as was suggested in this case managers statement, it is unacceptable behavior. At the same time, I also know all sides of the event need to be examined before damning the officers for their actions.
I'm especially angered as it suggests the service dog was the 'root' of the problem. A service member I've worked with for years has a service dog and I've seen many of doctors and the ER at NNMC try to deny access to the dog, which I always ignored and took in for him anyway. There needs to be some sort of instruction from the top down that these dog are not to be seperated from their handlers. I don't care if you have an EKG hooked up to the man and the service dog is a seizure alert dog, the man still needs the dog to be with him. Ugh! Sorry for the rant, just remembered a particular encounter with a similar situation that got me stirred up.
