zulu,
it’s only a dog. The little girl is going to see much worse than that in her long life.
You need help.
Its not “only” a dog. Its a family member. Its an inappropriate target for a misanthropic menace who shouldn’t be trusted with a gun and a badge.
Its a symptom of a constabulary which views itself as a paramilitary army of occupation instead of tax-payer paid civil servants who should be peace officers instead of paid assassins.
So shooting “just a dog” based on arbitrary or unilateral decisions in front of 6 year old girls is a necessary life’s lesson?
Count me out on that perspective...
Exactly. Because at age 6, her perspective and how to deal with this kind of thing is entirely in place and will not change at all as she becomes an adult. Everyone knows that.
Do I need a sarcasm tag?
I'd pay good money to watch you say that in front of the mother and her heartbroken girl.
No, it's not "just a dog". It is a very steep and slippery slope leading to worse atrocities. Yes, she will see worse. Chances are, much worse eventually if this kind of behavior goes unchecked.
The more of this that is gotten away with, the more we can expect (and are getting even now).
It’s one thing to say that if you were talking about finding an old dog had quietly passed in their sleep, or even a dog who had to be put to sleep for an illness such as cancer. While tragic...those things indeed happen, and learning to come to terms with then is part of life.
Completely another to have some tyrannical jackass blast her dog for no reason other than their own insufficiencies. There was no good reason for this, and it’s wrong, wrong, wrong. To accept it as “just” anything is letting the state once more advance into territory it never should have been given an inch into.
Yeah, eventually she going to have to deal with people like you - black-pantsuited females with charred, smoking craters where their hearts used to be.
Compared to that, a beloved pet dog shot to death in front of a six year old girl is actually funny, eh?
Oh I'm sorry, did I forget to say SCREW YOU?
shoot a “police” dog and see what happens..
hell, come shoot my dog and see what happens to ya.
