When my daughter (a serious dog person) was with the police in a major city, she told me that she/they received absolutely no training in dealing with dogs or situations involving dogs. Most of the officers had no clue beyond drawing and shooting a dog.
Human life must come first. But indiscriminately killing domestic animals behind the shield of a uniform is very bad for a number of reasons. But the rabid law and order folks should realize that this is another slippery slope, and left unchecked becomes part of their (LE) thinking process and culture. When a dog’s life becomes that cheap, you’d better believe that carries over to humans.

Unless it’s a police dog and if you kill one it’s the same as if you shot a human cop. But dog’s aren’t cops unless you raise them to the level of a human or tell the cops they are dog equivalents.
I’m confused and reaching out for help. (barf)
All dogs are equal? Or are some dogs more equal than others?
When will they start arming and teaching the dogs to shoot when confronted by people?
Yes, I am being sarcastic but who opened the gate?
