This was bound to happen and will happen more if police officers don’t change their “rules of engagement.”

This wasn't a swat raid gone bad. This wasn't a homeless man getting beaten to death by rogue cops.

This was a cop doing his job responding to a domestic dispute with a known problem neighbor. And he was pointing a STUN GUN at the dogs, not his service weapon.

Yeah, police activities sometimes go too far. But so does the cop-hatred. Both are signs of unbalanced minds.

Stun guns that police use now look and apparently feel like standard lead producing pistols reference the officer in California who murdered the bum at the train station and used as his excuse that he thought he was drawing his taser.

Ya see, that’s the problem.

In general, cops enjoy a great deal of respect and admiration from the public.

But when you read story after story about them raiding the wrong house and killing some guy who didn’t know who they were, beating people to death, shooting others in questionable circumstances, seeing video after video of them abusing people for not “submitting”, shooting animals pretty much on site in people’s back yard then you begin to wonder about every cop.
