Did they shoot his dog first? No civilian police force ought to be allowed to have a SWAT team with all the military style equipment to play with.

I remind our local constable how silly the black police uniforms are. They are HOT and Texas has been really HOT for the past 2 years. But this summer was better.

At one time the local police wore Kaki cotton uniforms. They were cool. The state police and county sheriff department still wear Kaki.

The whole SWAT thing is insane.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWAT

“Some sources state that the first use of “SWAT” as an acronym for “Special Weapons and Tactics” was the Special Weapons and Tactics Squad established by the Philadelphia Police Department in 1964.[2]”

“A more prominent early SWAT team was established in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1967, by Inspector Daryl Gates.”

Not understanding the whole cops shooting dogs thing recently.

10-15 yrs ago it was the big thing to prosecute a perp if he shot a police dog just like if he shot a real cop.

So is it justifiable homicide if I kill a cop in an because he shot my dog?
