Do you need to make a donation to the Police Athletic League and get a Please Don’t shoot any dogs on this premises sticker for your windows and doors?
What a sad state we as a nation are in, no one is safe. Even the home security system, the dog.

One of these days, a dog owner is going to return fire.
I can’t wait.

It’s all part of the “Blue Code.” Several years ago, it was a common practice for rookie cops assigned to a rough neighborhood to shoot a dog on the street. First thing. First day. With witnesses. That sent the message to not screw with the new cop.
The message has not changed. The intended audience has.

I totally agree. Police are too quick to shoot dogs. Now, what can we do about it?

That’s right! Stop shootin our dogs everytime we turn around. And no, that does not instantly mean it’s Open Season on our Cats & Rats & Unicorns!

“The message has not changed. The intended audience has.”
To the cops, we are all “n-words” now, eh?
To: Kid Shelleen
Yes! Stop shooting our Dogs! No, that does not mean it’s now Open Season on Cats & Rats & Unicorns.
To: Kid Shelleen
In most of the cases I've read about there was NO justification for shooting the dog.
Apparently the officer just wanted to shoot something. I cannot think of any other reason.
This propensity should be considered the consequence of a mental issue making that officer unfit to patrol let alone be allowed a weapon.

The ASPCA kills almost as many dogs as PETA does. A lot.

“Now, what can we do about it?”
Breed a dog that can shoot back?
To: Kid Shelleen
If a dog charges you in a confined area, you don’t really have much time to draw a weapon, do you? If the dog meant you harm, you’d have some bite or claw marks to prove it.

excerpt:
If the U.S. were overrun by dangerous dogs, you would think wed hear a lot more about a biting epidemic. Yet postal workers, meter readers and pizza deliverymenamong othersall manage to do their jobs without either getting maimed by pets or killing them. It seems awfully curious that police officers seem to be the only ones who face such a stark either/or. seems pretty clear

in many Martial Arts, Many Dojos (training halls) teach how to defend oneself
efficiently...it painful, but it can be done.

“as theyre required to do by training?”
This line of reasoning and justification goes down a very dangerous path...to the point where if someone has a gun and is trained to shoot first, your choices for self-preservation (which is the #1 instinct of all living creatures, even human beings) seem rather limited in dealing with the threat.
