Our local police are virtually Mayberry as compared to what I read about. They don't seem to do much and I haven't heard anyone calling for them to do more. Live-and-let-live mentality.
Lots of dogs here and one that roams the neighborhood. That dog gets along with everyone and every dog. Shooting a dog around here would likely cause an uproar.
