Jaime Johnson alleges harsh conduct by cops while he was trying to help Suki.
A Brooklyn man was pepper-sprayed when he brought his dying dog to his local police precinct, it was revealed yesterday.
Jaime Johnson, 30, a maintenance worker from Bedford-Stuyvesant, claims he was unfairly treated by cops.
But police sources said officers acted properly to subdue what they described as a drunken man having a violent fit.
Johnson said he ran to the 88th Precinct stationhouse Saturday morning after his family's Shih Tzu puppy, Suki, was hit by a car.
"I was frantic. I was scared, and I didn't know what to do, so I figured I would go to the precinct and ask for help," Johnson said yesterday.
Johnson says he pleaded with cops to get an ambulance for the dog.
"Within three minutes of [getting] there, I was blinded for the rest of the day," said Johnson, who denied he was drunk.
Johnson said he was briefly put into a cell and then brought out and cuffed to a sink so he could wash his face.
He was brought to Woodhull Hospital for what sources said was a psychological evaluation.
While Johnson was at Woodhull, police sources said, the Sanitation Department was called to take the dog's body away, which is standard procedure, according to police.
Johnson and his fiancée, Twaina McLeod, 29, had no idea what had become of their pet until yesterday.
The couple asked for help from City Councilwoman Letitia James (Working Families Party-Brooklyn), whose office is looking into the matter.

The NYCPD has been much nicer since shooting Amadou Diallo 41 times for offering them his wallet when they asked for it.
Mr. Johnson didn’t get a nightstick shoved up his rectum and wasn’t even tased!

HOUSTON -- A Houston police officer accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a traffic stop was forced to give up his badge Friday.
Charlie Loftin Jr. pleaded guilty Friday to official oppression and misconduct.
Prosecutors said Loftin handcuffed a woman in December 2003 and told her if she did not perform a sexual act on him that she would go to jail.
Besides losing his job, Loftin also received a one-year probation, a $750 fine and 100 hours of community service.

I wonder what "service" he will preform?
