Best regards to all,
“Police across the country renew their annual campaign against dogs and other pets”
Absolutely, they start building up to this campaign in March with meetings, and sharpshooting practice and all. As the weeks tick on, they begin salivating for that first pet-hunting day when they will surely bag their limit. /s
Pets get shot. Sometimes they have attacked the police. Sometimes it just appears they will do so. And sometimes you have an abberant cop who shoots kittens. But don’t paint police with that kind of broad brush. They aren’t gunning for pets. They own pets probably at the same level as the general population and some have put their lives at risk to save their pets, especially their police dogs.
I may be wrong but isn’t shooting a police dog considered murder?
Shouldn’t these Officers be given the death penalty if found guilty of shooting a family pet? Or is there some unwritten rule that our masters don’t have to obey the law they enforce?
Maybe it is time for us to write some new rules ourselves.
It is nice that the State has tried to teach children that the armed agents are our ‘friend’, and that they are in the right no matter what they do. It is definitely in evidence on all of these threads. FReepers who either are ‘LEOs’ or those who believe that what Chuck Schumer manages to pass (that wouldn’t withstand scrutiny of the Founders) but Carter or Clinton (or even the Bush appointed traitors!) appointed judges ala Kagan decide that the interest of the ‘State’ must trump the idea that Founding documents must be obeyed, have taken sides.
The police aren’t our friends. They will follow the order to kill those who aren’t willing to support the .gov. They would justify running over the protester in Tiananmen Square on the basis that he constituted a ‘threat’. No. Police aren’t our friends. They believe that authority must be respected, even if authority is wrong. They point to the ‘legal’ system as protection from abusive police practices, even if the ‘police’ are agents of that very same system!
Police are the Redcoats of old. And they must be eliminated from US society. Criminals can be dealt with in a manner that discourages others that think of committing crimes. The legal system that police represent lets those criminals go, in order to gain more power. Think about it.
