some people are just natural born buttholes BUT i would call his superiors and tell them what happened while emphasizing on the fact they he wanted $500 to retreive the animal. as a law enforcement officer we live by a code of ethics that hold us to a higher standard of living (simply because we are constantly under a microscope on and off duty) and him asking for money to retreive your game is just wrong. i would also contact that area's local newspaper and see if they'll print the story

the press should be all over this story because they LOVE "slamming" any type of law enforcementbecause it sells papers.
