When did police shooting dogs become such a problem? I don’t remember hearing about this 20 years ago.
Seems there are more and more people on power trips...this worries me because I have VERY LARGE but gentle German Shepherds and it seems like even if they came onto the property uninvited and unannounced, they would be able to do shoot them.
Thirty years ago I had to break loose of a Norfolk cop’s hold and knock down/throw my body across my dog to stop another cop from killing him.
This happened in an apartment where Navy MPs, Norfolk PD, VA PD and some kind of “SWAT” team had arrived to collect my UA husband, even though he was going to the base the next day, voluntarily.
[the dog was in adjoining room behind French doors and no threat to anyone at *all*]
When I was 20, I had a lot more to live for than I do now but the ‘choice’ wasn’t even conscious.
I just jumped.
I’d do it again.
It’s nothing “new”; they’re just more liberal and brazen about it, now.
