Well over 5,000 family pets killed every year by the pigs.

“Police shot a dog in front of its owner in Hawthorne, California, because they didn’t like the owner recording them:”

[Blood of Tyrants]

They kill pets because 99.999% of the time, noting will happen to them for doing it.

[Candor7]

Shoot my dog? That’s plain uncivilized conduct.

[GraceG]

Certain Nazi training required they raise a dog and then as part of their initiation they then shoot it.....

Are they being “Conditioned”.... Will the patriot at some point be re-branded as “dogs” to make it easier for the people behind the trigger to pull the trigger?

[BarbM]

over 3,000 babies are aborted every DAY. Where’s that outcry?
Like Pope Francis said: it’s only a pet.

[Balding_Eagle]

A cop shooting the dog is but a warning shot.

You are next.

Because they work part time for the “China Buffet” ?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just practicing for when Ubama declares martial law and gives them the "go" signal to start shooting their owners instead.

[Alex Murphy]

Cops take heartbreaking action 'every 98 minutes' A rash of animal shootings by police officers nationwide has law-enforcement agencies running for cover amid growing public outrage that could force state legislatures to require greater accountability from men and women in uniform.

Dogs don't vote democrat?

[Uncle Chip]

Why???

Because dogs are their competitiors.

They do the job that police are hired to do but seldom do — prevent crime.

A barking dog in a house is enough to deter most criminals — and they don’t call in sick or have work slowdowns or shoot their owners by mistake.

It’s Taco Night at the White House?

[DoodleDawg]

Because beating suspects takes more effort?

[driftless2]

The “pigs”?

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Why are police shooting so many family dogs?

Its to let the peasants know who is boss. They are trained to do this. Who is training the cops? They certainly aren't Christians.

[G Larry]

Because they’re cowards and they’ve learned they can get away with it.

Cops arrive stressed and the dogs sense that stress and bark protectively.

Waaaayyyy too many cops shoot just to shut the dog up, when it’s quite clear there is no threat.

Look at the number of stories where the dog was either retreating or confined.

[dalereed]

It’s training so they won’t think twice when they are told to gun down citizens.

[anymouse]

I’m under the impression that police officers have to fill out reports every time they fire their weapon. Wouldn’t the bean counters in Internal Affairs be suspicious of a whole lot of “accidental discharge” reports, let alone a bunch of “had to shoot threatening dog” reports?

[woodbutcher1963]

I will play Devils Advocate for the cops, for just a moment. Most of these dogs are not lap dogs, poodles, golden retrievers or beagles. They are typically pit bulls, rottweilers or pit bull mix breeds. Most of them were bred to be aggressive(ie KILL or fight things). Many people that have certain breeds get them because of the tough, bad boy image. These dogs have been bred for the last 1000 years to fight BULLS or other animals. All terriers were bred to hunt vermin and KILL it. They are aggressive by nature. Even a Jack Russell Terrier was bred to go down in a hole and kill a rodent.

If you were on a burglary call or drug bust in the hood and a 75-100# dog came running at you, what would you do?

I think the problem starts with the dogs owner.

Thugs with Badges (whom I differentiate from actual police officers who enforce the law, respect the Constitution, and who engender the respect of the people they serve) are SOCIOPATHS.

The behavior of abusing animals is one of the hallmarks of sociopaths (along with the belief that rules don’t apply to them - they are above the law) and a fair number of these sociopaths are obviously in uniform.
