In my small city (midwest US), it used to be very common for the cops to shoot people’s dogs. It must have been a fun sport for them–they’d just say the dog charged at them and that was it. It would happen at least once every couple months or so.
Until one day about 15 years ago, when a cop responded to a house alarm in the middle of the day. Apparently the lady didn’t realize it was armed or didn’t get it turned off in time. She had a small poodle which ran out into the yard barking and the cop immediately shot it dead, as per usual. Except oops, there was one problem. It was a judge’s house. It was a judge’s wife who witnessed the callous killing of her harmless pet poodle, not just your average citizen this time.
And thus ended the dog-killing streak in my city.
What a great example of the American justice system in action.
A multi-tiered justice system, to be sure
I am NOT advocating for violence. But I know that the moment the child of an elected U.S. representative dies by gunshot is the only way this country will ever ban guns.
“Charged by a dog”
Yeah im sure thats what the body cam will show.

They’ll never voluntarily release it because they know it’ll undermine their existence as protectors of the community.
And that’s just one of the ~27 dogs killed by police that day.
If you’re scared of dogs you simply shouldn’t be allowed to be a police officer. Dogs can be dangerous, but a dog running at someone is a very normal thing dogs do and you need to be able to fucking handle that before you enter someone’s property with a gun.
Or dog owners could simply keep their animals under control. Other people don’t particularly want to be approached by canines of unknown provenance.
If you’re entering someone’s property without their express consent, you’re not being “approached” by a dog. If it’s literally your job to do that, you need to be able to react reasonably to dogs who will act like dogs.
Just don’t become a cop, then you can complain about dogs approaching you all you want.
oR dOG OwNerS sHoUld SIMPly IN THEIR OWN HOUSE DICKHEAD! Why the fuck would someone feel the need to control their pet 24/7 in their own house when uninvited people are barging in?
Jesus christ i hope something you love gets it next you fucking psychopath.
Hey I think we found the secret lemmy account of the pig who shot that dog.
Fuck, is $12000 a normal amount for pet cremation? Honestly asking, I would never have guessed that high.
if they are having a very elaborate or bougie funeral.
Not even close. As the other poster said $500 or less is pretty common. Burials with caskets can run into the thousands just like with humans, but most people don’t do that.
If a doodle wearing a Knicks jersey makes you fear for your life, then you’re too big of a pussy to wear a badge.
Nah, that means you’re perfect for a badge. The biggest bullies are always the biggest cowards.
Once outside of the apartment, the dog charged at one of the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS).
That dog ran up to get pets from his new cop friends and they shot him.
I have a dog like this. He has never met a person who isn’t his best friend. He’s a big dog (Dalmatian) but he’s the friendliest boy.
Big dogs get treated differently than small dogs. If a small dog jumps on you, it’s fine.If a big dog jumps to get attention, a cop will shoot it.
If a cop shoots my dog, they better shoot me too.
They shoot small dogs too.
I get it, but I also think they’ll happily shoot you. They dream about nothing else all day every day, and our copaganda media enforces it. They live in fear of what they have seen in cop dramas, and they trained in Israel to shoot first and maybe ask questions later.
That’s not a big dog, nor does it look like one with a dangerous bite
The video of the woman crying over his body while the cops just stand there is heartbreaking and infuriating. The poor baby was just lying there motionless in his knicks shirt.
while the cops
For anybody who hasn’t seen the video, we’re talking at least a dozen uniformed cops all standing in a cluster looking dumbfounded, not knowing what to do with themselves as a woman lays sobbing over her puppy’s lifeless body.
A dozen useless cops arrived at the scene for a noise complaint because they apparently had nothing better to do than to stare blankly at their victim as she grieved over what was taken from her by senseless, state-sanctioned violence.
And they have the audacity to continue to demand more of your tax dollars.

Hell yes they are
“Antifa dog killed in daring police raid”
I feel bad for the owner. Hard to imagine.
There is only one dog that should have been put down and it wasn’t the puppy. it was the sick freak who attacks, growls (yells), and bites (shoots) small dogs and kids while having a hard dick. (no seriously it looks like the cops had hard-ons)
That cop wouldn’t have left my property alive.
