The headline remind me of the liberals screaming for gun control because “children” are killing “children” with guns. They don’t tell you that the “children” are gang-banging thugs that just happen to be teenagers.
Family pets my a$$. I shot a lot of dogs during my career, probably 99% were loose pit bulls that were chasing, biting or otherwise acting aggressively towards people. I NEVER shot a “family pet” although I was bitten by a few thanks to irresponsible owners who told me: “oh, don’t worry, sparky doesn’t bite.”
WND published this? NPR would be proud.
Dogs don’t shoot back.
Why are police shooting so many family dogs?
Why are police accepting so many substandard officers?
Aren’t reduced standards great?
Its called SWAT-Special Weapons and Tactics, borrowed from Military Weapons and Tactics.
Either way, all potential threats and distractions have to be neutralized. A barking dog is a distraction, even if he poses no threat. Or a loose dog that is not threatening an officer, but since the dog is loose, he distracts the officer's attention
So it began as a military tactic then became a SWAT tactic. As time went by and more and more officers served on SWAT, the tactic shifted to all police activity & enforcement
Of course they shoot the dogs. Unlike the sheeple, the dogs don’t immediately obey them.
