People complaining about the cops here is funny.

Theyre much better here than the '"shoot first, ask questions later" ones than the US. Want to see how bad cops can really be? Go to Mexico. But yes I agree cops here suck but the grass isnt much greener elsewhere. There was also that cop that shot and killed a youg person in Toronto in a non threatening situation so Canada isntmch better also.

Got news for you. Korea doesn't have 'cruelty to animal is bad' in their psyche. They do have children's stories about boy and his faithful dog, and Disney characters are liked, but not enough to treat animals as humans. Are pets in Korea friends or are they property? For the majority they are properties. Just as Mitt Romney didn't have a clue that transporting his dog on the roof of his station wagon was a felony, there wasn't a crime when that swerving driver dropped his dog. This isn't a first world/third world debate. This is about you being selfish, caring only about the things that YOU LIKE.

I'm amazed the driver managed to spin and swerve fast and violently enough to eject a dog, without hitting anything on a Korean-sized street, all while staying within the OP's view, long enough for him to recognize what was going on, decide to call the police, make a call, and then see the situation further deteriorate, somehow managing to eject the dog via what? Smashing through the glass?

And how did the dog manage not to hit the driver inside the truck cab during this whole process? A dog traveling that fast inside a cab should have been enough to deliver a violent forceful blow to the driver and surely should have struck the driver before it managed to get ejected during this phone call to the police.

This would have had to have been on a major road- 4+ lanes.

Also, in order to eject the dog through a side window, there should have been significnat centripital acceleration and g forces running laterally. However, to generate those kinds of tight turns and not hit anything, your car has to be going fairly slowly and a truck doesn't really seem capable of the lateral grip necessary to do that.

^ I kind of agree with Mr. Garrison here, even though I don't think he completely knows what he's talking about. Why would the violent death of the dog be left out of the initial post?

You mean the bed of the truck? Given that it was probably some Bongo truck I figured by box it was probably some commonwealth way of saying the cabin. But saying box for bed makes more sense as to how the dog was thrown.

It still doesn't explain how this guy was able to keep it up long enough to stay in view and not hit anything. A car swerving back and forth is like a wave, amplitude and frequency and all that. A truck swerving back and forth at a velocity sufficient to eject a dog while maintaining control and not flipping over, all the while managing not to hit anything on a narrow Korean street (unless it was a major thoroughfare, about the only place where you could get the velocity and space necessary to pull off such a maneuver and the vehicle should be causing a massive disruption to traffic, as major thoroughfares are at least busy enough, even late at night, for this to cause some serious accidents). But how does this vehicle stay in the person's sight during the time it takes them to decide to call the police and actually make the call?

I have a sneaking suspicion the story is more likely "Driving on the highway in our bus, we saw this truck passing cars and such, with a dog in the back, when we tried to call the police." That's the only way I can really see this truck being able to swerve violently enough to eject a dog with the necessary space and the OP being able to maintain visual contact given the vehicles velocity. Either that or the guy is doing doughnuts in the local county office parking lot, but his truck should probably flip at that point.

I mean seriously, in order to get that kind of force necessary to eject a dog, the car has to be doing at least 45kph, probably more like 60. The max visibility someone would have in a city situation is 1 kilometer, and that's assuming an elevated view, perpendicular to the road, at the proper distance to get a wide view of it, yet still being able to see the dog. That gives someone maybe a minute to a minute and a half until they leave view. Now, the OP would have us believe that within a minutes he was able to witness this, decide to call the police, talk to the police, and maintain sight of the truck to the point where he could see the dog being ejected and dying "right before our eyes"?

Not to mention the police probably realized that by the time they got over there, the truck would be long gone. And if the truck really was doing doughnuts, other people would have called. Something about this story doesn't add up. Amateur detective? Maybe, but also there is something about this that doesn't add up.

What's the next move going to be Mr. Garrison? The magic bump theory, possibly...
