It’s only a matter of time before a pet owner, wracked with grief, caps a cop for killing his dog. Then the sparks will fly.

When I hear of that happening I’m going to stand up and cheer.

I’ll wager there are twenty to thirty times more dogs injured by cops than cops injured by dogs. The response by cops is way out of proportion to the threat.

I think you're right. If the cop overreacts, as they tend to do, I bet the pet owner beats them in court. Temporary insanity would be the defense, I guess, and with a good lawyer talking to a jury, the party might walk out of the court, a free man or a free woman.
