Census workers aren’t chasing violent criminals. Your analogy, as with the “mailman, UPS, meter-readers” analogy doesn’t fly here.
The dog got in the way of an important chase. Especially if he really was charging at the policeman, it’s not a big shock he’d be in the crossfire.
Tragic, but not real surprising.
This is NOT the same as a LEO shooting a dog in his fenced backyard while snooping around.
You’re not worth discussing this with.
Bull sh*t.
How is it possible people who enter private property as a matter of *daily* routine, such as mailmen, meter readers, etc, do not need to kill pets on a routine basis or need to carry firearms during the course of their duties?
How is it possible, mail carriers and meter readers are able to protect themselves with mace etc, but law enforcement must shoot the pets to death?
