“WHat crime? If the police had not sicked their dog on him, there wouldn’t be any dead dogs.”
That is one of the most incredibly stupid things I have ever read. If it had been a policeman that went up to get the guy and the criminal had shot the policeman would you say, “What crime? If the policeman had not gone up there there wouldn’t have been a dead cop?”
A cop is not a dog. And vice versa. Maybe you are not quite as brilliant as you imagine.
