Wait a second. A well trained dog isn't getting shot, and a family member isn't getting shot...

Well, unless something incredibly hairy goes down. But I'm reasonably certain arrests for child pornography don't go down like raids on hostile gang hideouts...

Tell that to all the dogs with bullets in their backs.

Possible explanation: dog attacks officer 1, officer 2 shoots dog.

Possible explanation: Stop trying to defend trigger happy cops shooting family pets.

"In depositions, law enforcement personnel admitted that at least one of the dogs was running away when shot.[25]"

Possible explanation for your post: you are a cop apologist who doesn't know what he is talking about.

I'm not defending cops; I'm defending logic. I'm simply proposing an alternative logical explanation. Without the additional information you just provided, my explanation was equally plausible. Talk to me in a less public forum and I'll tell you exactly what I think about cops shooting pets.

The particular case I just mentioned is extraordinarily well known.. it involved a Maryland mayor. It's a decent guess that any person on internet forums such as this that is talking about police unjustly using no-knock raids and shooting family pets is talking about this particular case.

Furthermore, you shouldn't let the thugs rule you. Talk about exactly how you feel in as public a forum as possible.
