It seems that our LEO’s like rabid islamics hate dogs because they give warning and a degree of protection to the people they intend to harm.

Had a murder-suicide case around here a few years back. The husband was estranged and had moved out of the house. While living together the pair of them had raised a handful of exceptionally vicious dogs.

When he came back to do the deed he slipped into the house while she was out and waited for her. The dogs were of course trained to attack anybody EXCEPT him. When she came home he attacked her with a machete or something before offing himself.

Neighbors heard the screams and called 911. Cops could not gain access to the home because the dogs had turned on them. They were all shot by the SWAT team. Of course by that point both victim and perp were dead.

I never heard of a Pittsburgh cop shooting a dog.

Get some cops from Austin. The shoot dogs and minorities on a regular basis.

OK, so bees are more dangerous to cops, but can you imagine a cop trying to shoot every bee they see?

On the other hand, it is a good thing cows don’t just wander around in unfenced areas, or there’d be a lot of free beef.

“Neighbors heard the screams and called 911. Cops could not gain access to the home because the dogs had turned on them. They were all shot by the SWAT team. Of course by that point both victim and perp were dead.”

Yes, That was a reasonable and justified use of deadly force.

Use of Force to Protect Others:

1) An officer may use only the degree of force necessary to protect another person or property in another person’s lawful possession against forcible offense.

2) An officer may in some instances use deadly force to prevent a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or great bodily harm.

3) When an officer uses force to protect another person, the officer may use only such force as was reasonably apparent that the other person could have lawfully used to protect himself under the circumstances.

I would not recommend shooting bees. But they CAN be deadly.

tell us why you really hate cops.

ok, - they've become militarized beyond necessity, they escalate encounters needlessly, they no longer serve and protect, but revenue generate and dispense injustice

.........and they shoot far too many docile dogs

Perhaps. I would suggest it has a more primal source. Killing a dog in front of the family is a bit like raping the daughter in front of the family. It's a demonstration of the power of the conqueror, and an underlining of the state of the vanquished.

I'm sure there's a specific military term for this type of action but it escapes me at the moment. Bottom line, the purpose is strategic, and not tactical.

You're FOS. The poster can't sound angry or in rage or hateful of any of the things you accuse him of, as he/she offers no commentary whatsoever. Just an article and a graphic. You on the other hand sound absolutely furious. Project much?

Sounds like officer Ramonne is having a bit of 'roid rage. He'll feel better once he kills a few dogs.

I am curious how many postal employees and meter readers killed dogs. I feel confident they have thousands more encounters with the owner's dogs than the police.

I'm just saying.

You’ve talked about revolt that occurred early on. And one thing I noted in your book was the importance of dogs, both to families in the city but also as tools in the countryside. Why was the [Chinese] government so intent on registering and eliminating dogs?

Well, of course the government from 1949 onwards, being communist, wishes to register anything and everything. Including, of course, your pet dog. While there is in the early years a reasonable attempt to eliminate sick dogs, rabies ... Very soon — roundabout by 1950-51 — as a campaign of terror unfolds, dogs are no longer seen as just dangerous from a point of view of public health. Dogs are the ones who will alert their owners to the arrival of the police. I think this is the key to understanding why dogs were eliminated during the 1950s, first in the cities then in the countryside. Because they stand in between your household and the police.

They have a sense of propriety?

Indeed. And they will alert you to their arrival.

Another case of puppycide.
