There were two cops in on this and neither had the brains nor the ethics to see how wrong this was. They were ‘following procedures’. This is chilling.
They're "procedure" must read something like this:
PROCEDURE FOR SMALL DOGS FOUND LOOSE IN THEIR YARDS.
1. Corner it, then attempt to pick it up with your bare hands.
2. If it becomes frightened or protective and nips at you, don't back away or call animal control. Shoot it multiple times, then leave a note for the owner.
“There were two cops in on this and neither had the brains nor the ethics to see how wrong this was. They were ‘following procedures’. This is chilling.”
Exactly. It makes you wonder how they would treat an average citizen in a stressful situation (I wouldn’t want to be the one to find out). These fools do not need to carry firearms or have any power over the citizenry.
