Cop Shoots Dog: Untrained Officers Commit 'Puppycide'

[BuddyRey]

AF, you provide an indispensable service to these forums by keeping us informed of these police abuses. I can only speak for myself, but sometimes, the frustration with the current state of things, coupled with a crushing sense of futility, keeps me pretty close-lipped on this topic. It's just too tragic for me to entertain the thought any longer than I have to.

I'll say this though...I have a dog - not a pitbull or anything scary like that, just a little Jack Russell mix - and I fear for his safety every day. If they'll shoot a Corgi (one of the gentlest and best-natured breeds out there), I don't really think any dog is safe around the blue light gang anymore.

Thank people, much appreciated.

My post was just pique and frustration.

I'll keep soldiering on, as I'm sure all of you will as well.

What can you say anymore on the internet about these things that WON'T get you put on a list of some kind?

1. Those cops suck ass.
2. Those cops must not be pet owners.
3. I can't say anything else, otherwise it can and will be used against me in a court of law.


Don't stop posting, AF. You have no idea whose eyes you've opened. We have thousands of people strolling through this part of the interwebs everyday, and everyday they see more and more of these threads. People are putting shit together, albeit much more slowly than we need them to, but it's coming together, and you're an intregal part of that. We all are. It's almost as if we are the remnant set to remind the rest of what they're losing.

I'm pretty sure everyone on these boards is on a list of some sort. Like the AF quote in my sig says, "this whole board is a thoughtcrime in progress".

+1. As a libertarian/semi-objectivist (I don't like the IP stuff), I used to think we needed the police (stop violent crime). Now, I am more of a voluntaryist and believe we ought to fund our security thru voluntary means or go without or exercise self-reliance.

This forum is changing people.

a California police officer shot and killed a boxer puppy and pregnant chihuahua, claiming the boxer had threatened him. The chihuahua, he said, got caught in the crossfire.

Crossfire? Crossfire? So the boxer puppy was packin' heat? What did it do - use the chihuahua as a "canine" shield while popping off rounds at the cop?

In this video of a 2008 drug raid in Columbia, Mo., you can see police kill two dogs, including one as it retreats. Despite police assurance that the dogs were menacing, the video depicts the officers discussing who will kill the dogs before they even arrive at the house.

Given the willingness of police to blatantly lie about something as relatively "minor" as the unnecessary killing of household pets (as demonstrated in the matter bolded above), what can we conclude about their willingness to lie (& to back up each other's lies) when it comes to unnecessary abuse &/or killing of people (when even more is at stake ... career-, criminal- & civil-liability-wise)?

(That is what is known as a rhetorical question. I think we all know the answer ...)

How often do we hear about our dogs getting shot by pigs? From my estimation it's at least once a month right? I am so sick of it and I fear for my two dogs who I love like my own kids. God forbid that I get served with a warrant for a speedin ticket or something stupud or someone calls the cops for "help" and htey wind up shooting my dogs. It might be the end of me too because I will attack the cop who does it and probably get shot myself.

PFFT! Corgi's are PURE EVIL!

We're getting desensitized to this shit.
"oh look, AF posted a new thread titled 'MI-Dog killed by Cop'. Let me guess, a cop shot a sleeping puppy in fear of his life, gets a paid vacation if anything, and that's it. Move along. "

I don't even bother half the time, as the spike in blood pressure isn't worth the potential aneurysm.

This. I can't say anything that I have not already said in another thread. AF knows how I (and the majority of others who view yet don't always respond) feel.
