Court Rules Police Can Legally Execute Your Dog if It Does Anything But Sit Silently
FreeThoughtProject ^ | Dec 22, 2016 | Jack Burns

The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit concluded Monday that police officers are justified in killing citizens’ pets — even if those animals are not attacking or attempting to attack them.

Judges MOORE and CLAY (Circuit Judges), and HOOD (District Judge) heard an appeal from the plaintiffs Mark and Cheryl Brown, of Battle Creek, Michigan. The Browns filed a lawsuit against the BATTLE CREEK Police Department, the City of Battle Creek, and officers Jeffrey Case, Christof Klein, and Damon Young for the death of their beloved dogs at the hands of sadistic cops.

Perhaps if you weren’t doing/selling drugs, beatin’ yore wimmin ‘n chillins, harboring a felony, this wouldn’t be such a problem.

They should at lease have to read the dog his rights before shooting him, or maybe in this case it would be his rites.

My sense is that this country is headed for civil war, regardless of its leader and how strong of a unifier he is.

Make no mistake, there is a large portion of our society that doesn't care to have unity.

They would as soon see us dead.

Animals are not 'executed'. They are killed.

Inflammatory rhetoric designed to raise the hackles of humans who view dogs as members of their family instead of an animal kept for, and at, the pleasure of their human masters.

WTF!?

My dog let’s his displeasure be known, when people walk - in front of HIS HOUSE - without permission.

He’d go bat shit crazy if you were to break down a door.

This ruling means 99 percent of dogs can be legally shot. The dog reacts to people, that’s why we keep them around. In all my many years, it is only in the last decade that police have gone schizophrenic about shooting dogs. This is just another way to desensitize people to the point that women think murdering unborn children is something to be congratulated. People can justify anything when their conscience is seared.

So, does this go both ways? I think laws apply to police also, so we are free to blow away a barking police dog, or our neighbor’s barking basset hound?

I think the same laws of self defense apply to a dog, if you aren’t in danger, you leave them alone.
