I’m not known as the popo’s biggest admirer, and think LEOs need to seriously trim back the paramilitary garbage. There is a reason we don’t use SEALS and army Delta for police work. When cops think they are soldier, we start looking like taliban.
That said, I’m I the only one who noticed the issue of an electronic fence? Maybe dog owners need to remember that an invisible fence is, well, invisible. No one walking by knows it is there.
A dog comes running at me, where I have a legal right to be, I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot. People should control their animals, and I can’t see their invisible fence.
I’m not the popo’s biggest fan either, and I are one. I think the problem is the growth of intrusive/tyrannical government; the government is overreaching and it ‘trickles down’ to local law enforcement.
It is a different world, with technology, different breed of criminal willing to murder large numbers of people, erosion of a moral society, ever increasing nanny-state, etc.
The problems are many, the solution is simple, but it’s rejected.
I read about the invisible fence. I also have experienced out-and-out lies by local media. The vast majority of the time they paint us out as the bad guy. Not saying it’s so in this case but essentially it tells one side of the story.
People also have to remember that there will most likely be a lawsuit. So, not only is the media going to make you the bad guy, your going to get sued as well.
I haven’t had to shoot a family dog yet, although many of them have tried to bite me. So far I’ve been able to ward them off with a foot, kicks or a nightstick.
Neighbor of mine was worked for the post office. A ‘family dog’ got him on the ground and bit the end of his nose off.
They don’t pay me enough for that.
