Dog gets underfoot of running cops. Pow, cops shoot dog.
I hope the crook was important enough to do that. Why not shoot the crook and leave the dog alone?
This is what really pisses me off about these shootings: the perp is probably already out on the streets committing more crimes or soon will be. It's also why I do not support high-speed auto chases in which innocent bystanders get killed so the cops can arrest someone for car theft which is hardly even punishable these days with prison overcrowding.
Cops don’t live where they work. Cops have zero stake in the community and don’t give two hills of pooh about the people they Police. Cops are encouraged to NOT live where they work.
Make cops personally and criminally responsible for their actions. Make them live where they work. Little League games, soccer practice, church. Suddenly cops would act like humans again.
Dogs aren't grease for that Great Big Law Enforcement Machine that poops out those wonderful goodies ($40 an hour jobs, retirement at 52) for the meat puppets that run it.
If you want a GREAT response time to a 911 call, tell them that you have a gun, and feel threatened enough to use it.
The cops will be there in seconds to save their meal ticket from you.
The crook was important enough. He just beat up a man and stole his car.
“Why not shoot the crook and leave the dog alone?”
I’d agree, but you know the rules. Heavens we ever shoot a poor, young misunderstood thug. Shooting humans has much bigger consequence than dogs (as it should). In this case, we’d have another whiny pathetic Trayvon Martin soap opera on our hands.
Ironic since these threads actually resemble Trayvon teeth-gnashing rhetoric.
