I have seen several stories of cops shooting pet dogs this year. What the heck is going on, are they training the cops to do this? Very strange, very scary.
It has been going on for decades. Police shoot dogs. They shoot dogs that are running away. They shoot dogs that are chained in their own yard. They shoot dogs that are in houses they have entered without a warrant and the dogs are with the children of the house. They let dogs out and then shoot them for being out. They came to a house and wanted to search it for a suspect (no warrant) the owner gave permission but asked that he be allowed to lock up his dogs. They said no and shot the dogs.
They just shoot dogs.
