Target: Acquired Mission: Terminate

Stories like this are why my home defense strategy has been rebuilt around a battle rifle as opposed to a handgun or shotgun. The threatening scum sometimes wear armor.
Title should read “pigs” not “police”. Someone worthy of being called a “policeman” or anything ending in “man” would at least apologize if he freaked out and shot a dog.
Target: Acquired Mission: Terminate
““He just saw that dog, didn’t even look twice, went boom,” says the witness who didn’t want to be identified.”
That why I have a 6’ wooden, gated, locked fence and a weapon by the back door...and I’m -always- out with the dogs.
There will be _no_ -uncorrected- “mistakes”, here.
Good thing the family didn’t have a big ‘scary’ teenage son standing in the yard.
“Gramma” and the son sure did look like thugs.

An officer today can never be so busy as to not have time to stop and shoot somebody’s dog.
For cops even more so as cops are not the friendly guys of yore.
The mere barring of teeth (especially from a LAB) is not overly threatening to folks who can then try to mollify the doggie before closing the distance.
Sue the pigs. I lost all respect for cops in general long ago, when I found the vast majority of them are lazy time-servers and a sizeable minority are cowardly bullies.
We always take our two Lhasas on trips. I’m paranoid of getting stopped by a trigger happy cop. One of the dogs will bark like the dickens if anyone gets near the car. So, if we’re stopped my wife is going to hold the dog in her lap. If we’re ever ordered out of the car the dogs will be on leashes BEFORE we step out.
Don't dial 911.
Why are the police killing family pets?
I wonder how many points that cop got. The game has gone national.
It must have been his bad breath because we know that the police never discharge their guns without a good reason --
Is that you, Chett99?
This is what's in my vehicle:
If anyone even looks like they're thinking of getting near the car with me in it, 'barking like the dickens' doesn't even begin to cover his reaction.
He's securely buckled in with a heavy duty dog seat belt so he's utterly no threat unless I unbuckle the belt but I can easily imagine some pig trying to boost his testosterone levels by shooting him through the window.
He's my support dog so I have the conundrum; take him with me and risk having him murdered or leave him home and sacrifice the service/support he's been trained to provide?
I should not even have to remotely consider these things *just* to have my dog with me.
America has gone mad.
If, God forbid, the above scenario ever happens, the dog and I will be slaughtered together along some road, somewhere.
No one will vindicate his death but perhaps they'll vindicate mine.
We call no one.
We can handle anything ourselves, just fine.
Because they can.
No, she is not.
She invests a lot of effort to alert the rest of us about what is happening in the madhouse that was once America.
“Why are the police killing family pets?”
Because they can.
