The SWAT team goes up the suspect's porch and shoots a labrador on the top of said porch.
Let’s hear it for these brave public servants!
They ought to be confined to wallowing in crap for life like the pigs that they are.
Flame on, bootlickers!
I can tell you one thing! This SWAT team learned their tactics from the BATF. From Ruby Ridge to Waco and beyond, the FIRST thing the BATF does when raiding a home is KILL ALL THE PETS!
Questioned and answered.
SWAT have a particularly difficult time with dogs because of the odd way SWAT is dressed.
People who know dogs, know that dogs often react defensively to strangely (Halloween etc) dressed people.
And considering this item is from May 23, it appears there was no action against a SWAT member, or your search for “Police shoot dog” (to stoke up the Cop Haters) would of had a result indicating as much.
But this is another good example of the Drive-by Media hit. As if it would be OK for a dog to attack SWAT, because there are people (who easily could have moved themselves further away) left and right.
I just realized this is the THIRD “Police shoot dog” thread posted by you in a week, and in each one the police were not found at fault.
In the first thread, the owner of the dog actually said he understood why his dog was shoot.
In the second thread, the policeman was investigated and cleared with physical evidence.
And now this Drive-by Media hit, were SWAT is not found at fault.
That makes three strikes.
Every officer I work with or know has at least one dog. I have black lab myself and would be tore up if he got shot.
But an officer cannot afford to be bitten by a dog because it might offend someone’s sensibilities.
So where is the common ground? People don’t want there dogs shot, and officers don’t want injuries that could do nerve damage and end careers prematurely. An officer retired for disability is an early retirement and the taxpayers have to pay for that.
OC doesn’t work all that hot, a Taser works well but you only have one shot and you have to hit a small fast moving target at less than twenty one feet and the chance of proper probe spread is greatly diminished and thus less effective.
The answer might be the Taser shotgun rounds but an officer can’t really hump that around on every call for service where they might encounter a dog.
Instead excoriating officers for making do with what they have, how about some ideas that protect both officer and dog?
I would suggest something the officer can turn on that uses the dogs heightened hearing senses against them, an ultrasonic device that causes them stay away from the officer.
This is the one with the black lab on the porch who was wagging his tail nervously and sitting still, isn’t it? My disgust knows no bounds.
The three threads from you that I posted in this past week, not a sigle one actually was about a policeman found at fault for shooting a dog.
Do me a favor and let me know - of the many others you posted is there one where that is the case?
I appreciate it, Fellow Freeper.
SWAT thugs are pretty much the same low-life criminals they are ostensibly protecting us from.
There has to be a T-shirt out there about a dog surviving a police encounter, or maybe not.
If dogs had machine guns cops would stop shooting at them.
