Target: W.H. “Skip” Holbrook, Chief of Columbia Police Department in South Carolina
Goal: Fire and arrest the police officer who reportedly left his police dog in a hot car for more than six hours.
A police dog in South Carolina was found dead after reportedly being left in a police car for more than six hours. According to Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook, the dog’s handler was suspended for five days without pay. This is not enough. The Labrador retriever mix named Turbo was only 22 months old and was allegedly left inside the car on a day that was 94 degrees.
According to other handlers, this man did not return to check on the dog at all during the six hours. When the officer returned, it was too late. Turbo allegedly had white foam around his mouth and died from organ failure two days later. This type of neglect cannot go unpunished. Turbo deserves better. Sign this petition and demand the officer reportedly involved is fired from the police department and then arrested.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Holbrook,
A police dog named Turbo died because of the alleged neglect of one of your K9 handlers, David Hurt. Turbo was only 22 months old and he was reportedly left to die in a hot police car. According to other handlers, the officer did not return to Turbo during the duration of the six hours to feed him, give him water, or let him go to the bathroom. Currently, the handler is suspended for five days. However, this is not enough. We demand Hurt is fired and then arrested for his alleged lack of care for Turbo’s life.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Why does this keep happening? I’ll never understand how someone can forget an animal or a kid in a vehicle, no matter how busy or distracted they are. This man basically killed a fellow officer and his partner.
Too right- thoughtless retard
Exactly!
Your right, being suspended was a joke, this scumbag needs to pay for this.
Human pigs shouldn’t be allowed to train dogs to hurt people in the first place.
Kill all human pigs. Save dogs from being turned into vicious killers like the human pigs they’re forced to serve.
This is dispicable, that officer was fully aware what would happen, he does not deserve ever to have another police dog. Hope this guy doesnt have any familly, they wouldnt get treated any better. What a horrible death for that poor dog.Chuck this imbecil out of the force, beforehand – let him sit in a closed car in such heat. 20 minutes is enough to make him realise what for an a…..e this guy is.
Not 20 mins- leave him long enough to die, he deserves it JUSTICE FOR ALL ANIMALS
THAT’S THE THANKS THIS LITTLE POLICE DOG GOT FOR ALL HIS SACRIFICES!!! YOU DESERVE THE SAME BACK!!
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE – YOU NEVER LEAVE ANIMAL IN A HOT F……G CAR!!
He’s obviously incompetent! Fire him!!!!
He is a criminal that does not deserve any job!
Throw this monster in the slammer and throw away the key. Make sure this monster stays there for the rest of his stupid useless life.
SUSPENDED 5 DAYS WITHOUT PAY??????? IS THAT WHAT A POLICE DOG’S LIFE IS WORTH?? IF THAT IS THE CASE NONE OF YOU MAKING THESE DECISIONS SHOULD EVER SEE A DOG OR ANIMAL AGAIN FOR ETERNITY…YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE IN ANY ANIMAL’S COMPANY. CHARGE HIM, JAIL HIM….THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!!
Cops and their families are no different from the rest of us and should be punished as such as well.they have stickers on their personal cars and their family members cars so they dont get pulled over how is this even fair?if your a cop you shouldnt be doing stuff you know your not allowed but yet they are allowed to get away with it and their families i do not find this to be fair at all and shouldnt be legal!this officer should be put in jail and fined as well for the death of an animal that depended on him but im sure would save his damn life when time came down to it!hope you rot man and this dog death tortures your dreams!
What has happened to our police nowadays? They are lacking common sense…either they are shooting people, playing the racist card or doing something idiotic like leaving a dog in a hot car…I thought they were supposed to serve and protect. I have lost faith in our police, they have drastically changed within the last year and a half…wonder why that could be?
WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF LIFE .. THE HUMAN CRAP CALL THEM LAW .. BRAINLESS AND STUPID .. WHAT CHANCE DOES THE WORLD HAVE .. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HEARD .. AND THEN THIS PIECE OF CRAP COMES ALONG .. AN INNOCENT LIFE LOST, SUFFERED AFTER PUTTING THEIR TRUST IN THIS .. RIP TURBO .. PUT THE CRAP IN THE BRIG IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY ..
Yes, the moron needs to leave the earth, wicked, evil, stupid, complete idiot- no place for you chum, lock yourself in somewhere hot and perish . Justice fur Animals
Suspended without pay for five days for allowing his partner to stay in a hot vehicle that eventually killed him. I know people who have lost their jobs, permanently, because of spelling errors. Turbo deserved a better partner. One who takes responsibility to care for their loyal friend at all costs. May Turbo rest in peace.
Amen!!
That pupoy Turbo, was a POLICE OFFICER.
A cop murdered a cop.
If nothing is done to officer Hurt, I have NO respect for YOU OR your entire department.
goddamn murderer
Oh Yeah! He is not above the law, right? He needs to go straight to jail for murder! No if,and, or butts.
IDIOT
INBRED SOB…..FIRE HIM…with ZERO PAY
The careless SOB killed his partner! This monster should be fired and arrested for murder of a police officer—nothing less!
Another “proud moment” for the boys in blue. I feel safe, not 🙁
Fire the cop and charge him as you would anyone else. He murdered his partner!!!!!!!piece of shit pig. What a beautiful dog he had
K9 Handler, David Hurt has crap for brains. He, of all people, should know how dangerous it is to leave a dog or child in a hot car. Suspending this moron for 5 days says absolutely nothing. He should be fired. This bad decision should tell everyone he is not a reliable police officer. Instead of the motto ‘to protect and serve, his should be ‘to neglect and kill’!! He’s too horrible to continue breathing!
