This is how it usually happens. It’s not the cops that deserve it that get plugged, nor is it the average Joe that does the plugging. Cops get away with murder (just look at the Fullerton PD) all the time and then something like this happens where an A$$h##e offs someone that sounds like an OK cop.
However, if we did not live in a police state neither would be happening so it’s kind of like who cares anymore? Cops shouldn’t have the right to invade our property just based on some allegation of wrong doing and attack our dogs/property/persons at will and if they do then be prepared for this kind of thing to happen and for more and more people to not really care.
Support for cops is slipping away as more and more people get caught in the gears of the police state, either for revenue enhancement (traffic tickets at $500 a pop! and $100 for a parking ticket out here in CA) or some silly DV accusation by a PO’d wife/GF or some cops looking to work off a little roid-rage. That plus there is a growing part of the population that have no respect for the law what so ever, illegals and other minorities in particular. Means that more and more are not going to give a damn when someone pops another cop off as they are starting to look like part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Well, what in the world would you have the cops do then?
Suppose a call comes in saying there's trouble at a residence. But you don't want the cop to "invade" the property. Should the cop just park out front with a pair of binoculars and try to look through the house's windows?
And I do value the life of the cop over the life of a dog. A cop (or anyone else) has every right to defend himself against a possible dog attack.
im a black and white kinda guy...all these 'grey areas' of citizen vs po-po are 'self defense' zones...
