The other poster stated:
“yeah never mind the witness statements and the picture which is posted above. please disregard those”
In picture 12, the cop has the dog clearly on the ground. I have yet to know a dog, who when pinned by a dog or human larger than itself, will not submit.
Tossing the dog down a stairwell and shooting it, just because the cop could, were uncalled for.
If the cop was physically incapable of restraining the animal, as the owner was doing, he should have left it to the owner to control his own dog.
How many of the witnesses walked away thinking highly of the cop in question, or the D.C. police department?
Wrong discussion. The “other poster” he referred to said THIS:
“Any man who shoots a dog is a coward.. Period.”
A stupid, glib statement all too typical of the many people who have little true respect for The Dog; their other favorite glib statements include “Dog is God spelled backwards” and “Dogs just so unconditionally love us”. Those along with the above ignore that dogs do in fact kill people intentionally (and not just because they “were brought up badly”); there are 2 sides. Respecting a dog, like a wild tiger, includes recognizing all it’s capable of, good or bad.
