Sadly, some FReepers will care more about this dog than about the dead 18 year old in Ferguson, Missouri.

Or about the danger to innocent people who happen to be relatives of the cop.

What does this have to do with the kid in Ferguson? Nothing.

Poor dog, it was outrageous to shoot it.

I care about both and especially about our current military state.

So we shouldn't discuss other topics (and the threads on the Ferguson situation are many) that don't fit the current meme? It's like discussing the drought in the west on Huffington post and people chime in with things like "so you don't care about the famine in Africa? Heartless SOB!"

The dead 18 year old has nothing to do with this they are separate issues. Hopefully the Bad Cop that shot the 18 year old will be punished enough to make other cops think before they execute someone because they are mad at them.

The 18 year old was executed, make no mistake but he bears some of the blame for getting into an altercation with a cop and trying to steal his gun. The cop perhaps had a right to shoot the first shot, but, only the first shot. I do hope the cop is tried for murder in the first degree and not some lesser charge.

Now, back to dogs. Nearly all dogs shot by cops are executions. The dogs are not harming anybody, they are on their own property doing what they are supposed to do, that is, bark when a stranger shows up.

I am a dog owner, my dog is a very dearly loved friend. If a cop were to shoot her for no good reason I don’t know what I would do but I would NOT get over it and forget it.

One is a symptom of the other.
Give an egomaniac the ultimate weapon, he will have to see how it works.
Give a wise man the same weapon and he will keep it holstered.
No respect for life,regardless of species.

Anonymous is not neglecting him, either. Look what I found in Google's wastebasket. Twitter has suspended the account. FU Twitter!

I don’t have enough information on the Ferguson kid to have an accurate opinion yet, I will await further information.
