Periodically I see reports about LEO’s shooting the household pets. I have come to believe that what is happening is an a kind of de-weaponizing of the home by excitable, on edge officers. This officer was disarming the household.
First they came for the guns, and I did nothing.
Then they came for the dogs....
I’m starting to think that the only way to stop this is with a campaign of public ridicule. If it’s OK to label sex offenders and drunks, why not these trigger-happy, jumpy police? Why not publish their pictures in the paper? I think that the citizenry needs some warning concerning these dangerous armed thugs with obvious mental problems. If you can’t fire them, can they be forced to drive pink police cars and wear pink uniforms?
You will notice that this generally happens in either a big city or by “sheriff’s deputies” in rural areas. Generally, these people can remain anonymous fairly easily. Can you imagine what would happen if this happened in a small to medium sized town? The whole family would be run out of it. I wouldn’t want to be the parents, wife, or child of such “men”...and I use the term loosely. I can tell you that life would be pretty rugged for the family of a “man” who shoots 12-pound dogs where I grew up.
There are those who say that they are “justified”. Do you think they walked up to this house with cut-offs and polo shirts? I think that a bulletproof vest, Kevlar gloves/sleeves and steel-toed boots would stand up pretty well to the worst that a 12-pound puppy could dish out.
no dogs, guns or drums for negroes. that’s the way it
was once upon a time.
