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.

Less than 1% is ‘out of control’?

How many times did cops save dogs? Or save lives? Why don’t we hear about those things? I think it’s a simple, fair question? Why do we just hear about the bad?

I was a cop in a low income/high crime city. I saw what many people never see. I listen to the comments people make without having a clue as to how police work or what goes on in cities like the one I worked in. I see the lies the media puts forth to paint cops in a bad light and see too many people duped into believing the lies.

I am not denying that there is police corruption or that some police officers do things they should not do. It’s always going to happen with human beings.

But less than 1%?

I do not believe the police are out of control any more than politicians and the rest of society is out of control. People are voting themselves into servitude, the cops, particularly the younger ones who grow up in this increasingly secular country, are just a reflection of society.
