The same can't be said for police killing dogs.
Every year, hundreds — if not thousands — of animals, mostly canines, are killed by police or animal-control officers. According to the National Canine Research Council, up to half of the intentional shootings by police involve dogs.

The lawyers (married couple) brought home a pair of Presa Canarios that were owned by one of their convicted clients that was going to get into the dog fighting biz.
Sure it did.
Sure you did.
They can fly.
I’ve seen ‘em do it.
Oof.

The “truth” is that she’s in cahoots with a lawyer who makes a fortune prosecuting dog owners and she’s a paranoid obsessive because she got bit by a dog, once.

Not only are these Cretans overtly stealing....they are padding their overtime so they can retire. getting six-figure retirement checks, again stealing from the overburdened tax payers of the state...erstwhile shooting pets when they enter private property. I despise every last one of them.
A state police commander said: If the allegations of misconduct are proven true, we wish that it not reflect the perception of the police or its union,"
