But back to you proving my point... in a country of over 200 million people, how many cops have made home visits this month, some friendly some not, where a dog was present. Just statistically? a hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Guessing here. Six ended up where a dog was killed and most look like good self defense. I wouldn't call .003% ~common~, would you?

And every day how many mailmen, parcel delivery men, garbage men, and utility readers visit those same houses with those same dogs? You don't read of those people killing dogs in the same numbers that policemen do. They manage to carry out their visits by such means such as knocking on the door, asking that the dog be restrained, use of pepper spray, etc. Only the policemen seem to first use deadly force as a be-all and end-all solution.

Funny, Freepers are usually pretty supportive of self defense, unless it's a cop who we send in to do our dirty work for us, he's not allowed to defend himself against the pit bulls of drug dealers? I see.

Another distinction... Mailmen aren't armed, they just get bitten or refuse to deliver to an address with a bad dog. The work of a cop is a little different, he's not allowed to just go right on by if it looks dangerous, is he?
