"their peculiar form of english was actually part of the dutch language spoken in their native Holland."
The word "Dutch" does not refer to the Dutch people or their descendants. Instead it is probably left over from an archaic sense of the English word "Dutch"; compare German Deutsch ('German'), Dutch Duits ('German'), Diets ('Dutch'), which once referred to any people speaking a non-peripheral continental West Germanic language on the European mainland.[2] Alternatively, some sources give the origin of "Dutch" in this case as a corruption or a "folk-rendering" of the Pennsylvania German endonym "Deitsch".
It has traditionally been the language of the Pennsylvania Dutch, descendants of late 17th and early 18th century immigrants to the US states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina from southern Germany, eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine) and Switzerland.

The same question applies in reverse: if a police officer shoots your dog, what might you assume he would do to you?
“Don’t shoot our dogs, but we’ll shoot your dogs whenever we want to do so anyway” is a double-standard which needs to be stopped.
