That is why every household should have a dog, to give the police something they can shoot to avoid them having to shoot one of the kids or Mom or Pop.

That is an excellent point. The first line of defense against runaway cops.

It has occurred to me that with cops getting automatic paid vacations for shooting citizens, that might suggest a tactic to police unions, sort of like a "sickoưt" but the officers don't call in sick, they just shoot motorists and people who answer the door. If a lot of them do it the police department will be hamstrung by the "job action" with so many of its officers on paid vacation until some new terms are agreed to in the union contract. A "shootout?"
