The cop came up to serve a paper warrant. That means he could leave it in the mailbox WITHOUT TRESPASSING, FWIW.
He came on the property and KILLED the dog, putting TWO slugs into it AT CHEST LEVEL, while the dog was on the deck.
If the dog was ANY danger to him, why did it stay on the deck?
Have you EVER in your life seen an “vicious” Golden retriever? Have you even HEARD of one?
Or do you consider “officer friendly” always innocent, and without blemish?
I, once upon a time, considered the police our allies.
THEY have become our legal persecutors, through their own actions and attitude.
When YOU drive down the street and a cop ends up following you , do you feel “protected”, or do you start thinking “What could I be doing wrong?”
Well folks, line up to view Don W...he has two brains. Everyone else in the world has one, but Don W's is not "lonely" like ours...must be another in that swollen head of his.
And, yes, I have seen a vicious golden retriever. A relative used to raise them, but they got too hard to handle.
And, maybe you and your pair of brains have done something wrong if you are afraid of the cops...would you like to confess something?
