I really don’t give a rat’s ass what the Bible has to say on this matter.
What I do know, and is well proven in the last 50 years, is that people who mistreat animals will mistreat humans. The pathology of serial killers has shown a pattern where the killers start by torturing or killing animals for kicks.
And that’s what’s going on with many of these cop-shoot-dog scenarios. They’re shooting the animal because they can get away with it. Period.
If they were “scared” for their “lives,” they were under no requirement to enter that yard. None. If they see the dog, they can call dispatch and say “Well, there’s dog in the yard. It’s highly doubtful that there’s an intruder in the building.” Duh, would that be all that difficult? No.
If cops want to stop being demonized, they can show some evidence of having functional brains instead of being brain-washed thugs.
Taxpayers are paying these people. Paying means I don’t need to say “Please.” If cops don’t like the job as it is, they can find another job and we can find someone who meets the terms set by the taxpayer for holding the job.
In that case I don’t give a rat’s ass about you. Please do not post to me anymore. BTW I condemn the practice of shooting dogs without cause and have made that fact very known in LEO circles.
