I know it isn’t right, I know it isn’t equivalent, but if I cop did this to my dog I would kill him. Not right then, because I wouldn’t have a gun in my hand, but one day down the road that cop would turn up dead. I’d probably get caught and go to jail but these dog shootings are acts of sadism commited under color of authority. Police know there’s nothing a homeowner can legally do, and they also know this is emotionally devestating to the families. I simply would not be able to stand someone lording their station over me like that.
That’s just me.
And I hope I get on that jury.
Not guilty!
They're coming after commentors now. Just be careful:

The land of the free, you know ...
Agreed; my dogs are my family, you hurt them, I hurt you a lot worse.
Their Response: We will arrest you, convict you of murder and put you on Death Row.
My Response: Big f#ckin deal; 3 hots and a cot, and I would be dead of old age before all the appeals were exhausted.
Any police officer who is that afraid of a dog, is not mentally or emotionally fit to be in charge of protecting the public.
