I find this interesting. I looked for some statistics. There are approximately 800,000 cops in America. I tried to look for the number of dogs killed by law enforcement officers in a year’s time. The only number I remember seeing, and I couldn’t find the article again, was a total of 5,000 dogs. The article did not distinguish how many of the dogs were family pets/harmless/innocent and how many were a danger. It just said 5,000 dogs. I think the article was on ‘the Blaze.’
If these numbers are accurate, what is the percentage of police officers shooting dogs? Does that number constitute the “so many cops” you claim?
How many dogs did cops save? Why don’t we know that answer?
So, again, if the numbers are accurate, less than 1% of cops are shooting dogs. Now I agree that shooting a family pet is an outrage and any cop that does it should be held accountable. I understand the outrage of people who have had a pet shot.
1%? And now that turns into credible evidence that cops gun down people just as easily as they do dogs.
5,000 dogs shot in a year by cops is an outrage—and far too many police departments back them up, saying they had followed proper procedure.
I see lots of your posts are in denial of a police culture out of control in this country and getting worse.
