They stomp cats.
The worse danger here is in that condition of "feeling threatened." It has already been used more than once to justify shooting unarmed and unmoving people and can refer more to the surrounding situation as much as to the individual target. I believe that shooting of individual people in these situations will become as common as shooing of pets is now and there will be no punishments. The cop only has to say he "felt threatened."
I believe that the shooting of dogs as SOP is practice for and desensitization to the shooting of citizens though, with the police use of drones, technology is probably overtaking that progression even now. Shooting of citizens will become much less "personal."
What’s next “The conservative woman made me realize that if she were a man, she’d have brass ones ten times larger than the ones I actually have, so I felt threatened and shot her?”
“I felt threatened” increasingly appears to be code for “mine are the size of pin-heads”.
