Been trying to ignore this comment for days now, but it stays in my mind like a splinter so I’d like to address it...
That is the ARROGANT attitude that cops have. It is the reason LEOs are no longer respected. You want respect, show respect. Your comment shows you have no respect for the public so expect the public to reciprocate. My name is not ‘Tex’ or ‘buddy’. Part of being respectful toward folk are addressing them by their proper name.
I have no desire or wish to kill anyone; however, I will not allow any of my family (my dog IS part of my family) to be killed unjustly.
I have no illusion as to how an armed confrontation between LE and myself would end. Question is, how many will I take with me. You have no idea of my training, capabilities or willingness to affect violence of action. If you are LE (and I suspect you are), get off your high horse. You bleed red like the rest of us.
AD
Whenever I hear (in this case read) something that someone says that is so far over the top as to be ridiculous as your initial post, I feel compelled to call them on it.
We live in a nation of laws. I do agree that it is wrong to haphazardly go around shooting other people’s animals. If it does happen (God forbid!) you still don’t have the right to take another person’s life for it. Period.
Additionally, you’re wrong about me being a LEO (not that it matters). Even if I was a cop I would be *on* *your* *side* for seeking restitution and disciplinary actions against any cop who unlawfully shot your pet. The second you make the decision to use deadly force on a human because of a pet, I have to part company. I sincerely hope that, as a fellow gun owner, you wouldn’t act so irresponsibly. Our rights are being eroded already; there’s no need to fan the gun-grabbing left’s flames.
Re: arrogance...
I did suspect that your proper name isn’t actually ‘Tex’ or “buddy’. I have the feeling that it isn’t ‘appalachian’ or ‘dweller’ either though... besides, when you talk like a wild west gunslinger, should you be surprised if someone calls you ‘Tex’?
Just a FRiendly reminder: Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
