When they shoot or beat innocent people (non-convicted people) we don’t get nearly as upset as when they murder innocent pets.
We are all nuts, in my opinion, they reflect the insanity of the society they serve. We love the innocent dog more than we love the presumption of innocence of person next door.
Don’t mean to take away from the outrage that happened to this family pet. But I want freepers (not you in particular) to realize they need to love unconvicted humans as much as they love unconvicted dogs. Police are being trained to disrespect the criminal justice system of the constitution which would naturally extend from humans to pets.
Who here has condemned mistreatment or execution of animals by police (or other government employees working in “law enforcement”), but not condemned mistreatment or murder of humans by police?
You need to read further. There are a few FReepers who believe that cops can do no wrong, but I suggest you look up Jose Guerena or Kelly Thomas in the keywords. A majority is totally against the misuse of police power.
This dog-killing is another facet of the police state which is slowly being imposed. Most of us are outraged by every aspect of the current situation.
Humans have the rule of law and justice.
Dogs do not.
Big difference. Has nothing to do with the amount of compassion for the wrongful deaths of either.
If the police are shooting innocent people, we get very upset.
