“Yes, he shot back at the cops, but we don’t know the whole story on that, do we? Nor will we, thanks to a the complicit MSM. “

Your bias shows. Why do you say he “shot back” at the cops. That impies the cops shot first. You don’t know that. Besides, why do you prefer to take the side of armed robbers?

Legal fictions can be useful. I was exaggerating the "same as a human," there are separate statutes prescribing penalties when a civilian kills or injures (or attempts to kill or injure) a dog that is government property.

Off topic, but one useful legal fiction involves the filing of a patent application under the patent cooperation treaty. One filing, in one country, works the legal fiction that a proper application was simultaneously filed in as many as 160+ patent offices throughout the world.

Another one is that the USPTO works the legal fiction that it received a patent application the moment you give it to the Postal Service, provided you use Express Mail. It has to be Express Mail, FedEx, overnight anything else doesn't work the same legal magic.

Another stupid stinking lying headline! He was put away for firing a half-dozen shots at officers and for shooting the dog!

“———— those who are supposed “to serve us.” abuse us and our pets routinely. “


Wow,I wasn’t aware that it was routine.

How many pets do they kill per year?

The headline is completely false anyway. He only got 5 years for shooting the dog.

Only five years??? For shooting a viscous animal that is trying to rip you apart??? He's just supposed to lay there and enjoy it???

I’d suggest you just read through all the posts every day on FR. Seldom a day goes by that there isn’t at least one posted. Sometimes a few more make the papers around the country.

The man should not get more time for shooting a police dog than murdering another person.

Actually, you would be better off reading about them in papers OUTSIDE of the country...!

I don’t think Google hits are a an account of incidents,just an account of Google hits.

There are 1,640,000 hits for my GRANDAUGHTER.

I do,I’m on a dog ping list.

There are several dog shooting incidents each week but that hardly makes them “routine”.

Well, if only 1% of those stories are unique, I guess that would be acceptable.....
