I read the article.
1) Blind and deaf dog wandered out of its owner’s property into a neighbor’s property.
2) Neighbor found the dog, played with it peacefully for a while, then
3) Neighbor called the cops for help finding the dog’s owner.
4) Cop showed up and shot the dog several times, killing it.
5) Police investigation revealed that the cop did everything perfectly. Because of course it did.
6) But the cops are now all going to be sent to animal control school. Because their claim in (5) above is BS
Excellent summation on your part.
I get that policing is difficult work. But a certain percentage of cops live for the escalation. If level 2 behavior is appropriate, they’ll go to level 5.
These stupid cops are driving a wedge between the police and honest citizens. Difficult times are ahead. That wedge will make things even more difficult.
On the video had lots of copslaining. Weak justifications.
What is it with police killing dogs? It would seem that too many police are a threat to everything around them.
