The story of Steven Seagal accompanying Sheriff Joe Arpaios raid on an Arizona man suspected of cock-fighting seems almost humorous. Almost, that is, until you think about police driving into your own home with a tank and killing your dog, which is what happened when Seagal drove a tank into Jesus Lloveras house.
Seagal told a local radio station that animal cruelty was one of his pet peeves, and since the bust was an animal cruelty bust which apparently requires the use of several armored cars, a tank, and dozens of sheriffs deputies in full riot gear Seagal decided to go along for the ride
and kill hundreds of roosters and a puppy in the process.
So much for animal cruelty. It turns out, of course, that Seagal was just joining the ranks of reality TV stars, blending the line between reality and television, and the line between entertainment and justice. And now hes being sued to the tune of $100,000 by Llovera, who is also demanding a written apology from Seagal to his children for killing their puppy.
Seagal has also accompanied Arpaios sheriffs in cracking down on illegal immigrants. I guess being a tough guy in the movies is just never enough.
