Based on personal experience, many cops today are habitual liars who are far more danger to the public than most criminals. Anyone, canine or human, who defies these govt.-sanctioned bullies is at risk.

The officers are going to be "cleared" after a make-believe "investigation."

My experience as well. If the trend keeps up there will be open warfare between police and "Civilians"

BTW, when the the police stop being civilians?

Are Cops Constitutional?

Sadly, that’s probably true.

The eagerness of some officers to destroy animals belonging to private citizens is an alarming trend, and one that needs to be stopped.

Oh, it's going to stop one of these days when one of these morons shoots someone's dog and gets blown away for it.

“What is it about steroids that makes cops hate dogs so much.”

It’s not hate. Cops these days are taught early on that their top priority is going home at the end of their shift, no matter who or what they have to kill to do it. It used to be that cops were tough guys who didn’t mind a physical confrontation. Now they are hyper careful about their safety, unwilling to even get a scratch on them. They just want to work their 20 years and collect their fat pensions. I think their training also changed when women began to contaminate the force. Where men were expected to take risks and physically overpower men, dogs etc, adding women meant the training had to change. Self protection became the key because women would get killed in physical confrontations. Its easier and less discriminating to just teach everyone to shoot or tazer whatever is threatening.

There are a lot of people in law enforcement who would have been considered way too wimpy for the job even thirty years ago.

There are a lot of people in law enforcement who would have been considered way too wimpy cowardly for the job even thirty years ago. [fixed!]
