I find it ironic that there will be 100,000 US troops in Middle East by the end of this month, and you are concerned about one little pooch shot during a legit BUST?
O.K., I'll try to go slow so you understand... The situation in the M.E. has NOTHING to do with a trigger happy cop in bum-fuck Iowa... The pet that was killed was NOT killed legitimately, IMO. The owner of the dog TOLD the police that the dog was in the car and asked him to close the car door so the dog couldn't get out, and he didn't... And where the fuck did you get the idea that it was a legit bust??? The police themselves admitted that though based on the info the officers had, the stop was legit, but there was never a crime, just the assumptions of some stupid fellow motorist that assumed that there must've been a carjacking because she thought she saw money flying off the roof of the car, and in her opinion they were speeding. It turned out that the poor bastard left his wallet on the roof of the car, that's it... So, no it was not a bust, nor was it legit.
C'mon, isn't the life of 100,000 soldiers more important than one little dog?
Yes, but again, one situation has nothing to do with the other.
When you have one dog dead from a policemen's shotgun, everyone raises hell.
When it's an innocent family pet that was wrongfully shot in front of the entire family for no apparent reason when there certianly could've been another way to neutralize the dog (pepper spray), yes, people are going to raise hell, and rightfully so...
When 100,000+ people die overseas due to U.S. military - nobody cares that much.
I think the last time that many died due to a single US military action, it was called WW2, and it had something to do with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since then, sure, we've killed enemy soldiers, and certianly SOME civilians, but again, I don't see the connection that you're trying to make.
Geez, 100s of police dogs die each year from the hand of the criminals. Police do not sue the criminals or the state that bread those criminafucks!
Again, different story entirely. Police dogs carry the same status as officers. They are used as tools by the police, and it is known that they are in a position of possible danger, (just like the cop himself), this was a FAMILY PET that was shot for NO GOOD REASON!!!! If you can't understand that, you've either never had a pet, or you're a complete idiot.
This has been just one dog! Enough already!
Let a cop or anyone else shoot your dog for no reason, and then see how you feel...
Police was doing there job. People should fear the police, not police fearing people who sue.
While I agree with PART of this statement, I think that you're forgetting that even though the police are hired to ENFORCE the law, it does not put them in a position ABOVE the law. The only people that should truly FEAR the police are the criminals. As far as your ridiculous reference to that kid that got slammed on the hood, notice that once the video surveillance tape was released, and officials on both sides, including Rev. Sharpton, that little incident went away with not a whole lot of fanfare. But again, you're trying to compare apples and oranges. He attacked officers, he got a smack on the head, no problem... This family's dog came out of the car panting and wagging his tail, and the cop shot him. No contest, the cop was wrong for firing his weapon in this case... Cops that are found pulling the trigger in cases where it isn't warranted, should not be cops, period...
