Talk to a K9 cop.
Best guys in the world.
You called the lowlife for what he is: "officious." That is the problem with a lot of LEOs. They want to lord it over the rabble--that would be us--they encounter.
I guess the police across the nation have killed enough family pets in the name of their safety, now. Police officers do have tasers and pepper spray to use in REAL cases where a dog is REALLY threatening them. They don’t have to kill as the first line of defense; unprofessional cops are choosing to kill.
Now there will be regulations to take away their options in Austin since some meat heads do not conduct themselves professionally.
This is going to happen more and more. It’s not good for police officers when their options are limited because they can’t be trusted to exercise professional judgement and be respectful of the public. They should reform themselves through training and peer pressure rather than making the crazy politicans do it for them.
The police chief is a moron.
Bunch of us out here feeling the same way.
They, government officials of very level, have become our Overlords.
I hear ya.
My dogs bark.
I bite.
“The police chief is a moron.”
Of course he is....you wouldn’t expect
people of intelligence and good character
to be able to go to work day in and day
out in that line of work.
Reactionary violence prone officers wouldn’t
last a day if they had to work for a competent
administrator rather than a brain donor political
syncophant looking out for his own ass.
I think the majority of cops would rather be bitten than kill a dog.. But for the love of Pete.. They need to better train officers in dealing with dogs!!!
Then a majority of cops are truly stupid. This cop was definitely stupid but any dog, human or fox charging me or mine on my property will be shot and I won’t lose a wink of sleep over it.
