My 5 year old was playing in the sprinkler in the back yard. Then 2 big wandering dogs not on leashes were on my yard barking at my son. I went outside when I saw trouble. I grabbed the pepper spray. I went outside. The dogs barked at me. I sprayed pepper spray at the one dog. The other ran off. I called animal control, no answer, left message. They called me back 2 hours later gave me another number that was wrong. I called Sumner police no emergency line when the 2 dogs came back. The Sumner police dispatcher was absolutely refusing to help me. She told me there was nothing I could do to the dogs even on my property and threatening us. That I would be liable. She was very mean and rude. She refused any assistance and hung up on me!!!

We could have been mauled by the dogs and police here absolutely would refuse assistance!!

Could I file a small claim against the pd for refusing to help me when in imminent danger?

because you interrupted him while he was having his donuts. Don't you dare doing that again. most cops are worthless pigs. I am sorry.

You need to deal with Animal Control...the police don't come out for DOGS running in the neighborhood unless someone has been injured.
Why would you think you have a lawsuit......nobody got hurt.
Follow up with animal control.....

Go see an attorney. Your problem is hardly unique.
