There’s no winning with these asses. I hope none of them ever tries to shoot my dogs, they’ll have to shoot them through me. I don’t ask my dogs to take anything for me that I wouldn’t take for them, even though they would. I love my dogs, they’re not just home safety tools to me.

Brilliant! :-(

Remove gun from holster, aim, pull trigger.
Failure to perform those steps in the correct order is bad.”

Put down doughnut and coffee first. That was probably his mistake.

“Growing up in the 1950s, I don’t ever recall hearing about a cop shooting a dog. What is going on?”

People like my screwed up cousin are becoming cops. No, he isn’t a cop. Cops used to be people. Now they are killer animals.

Know why cops are afraid of man killer dogs? Projection. That is how they think, so everyone and everything is blood thirsty as a cop.

Me too!!!

I cringe at the classic: “this is an unloaded gun”. Next to “hold my beer and watch this”, that has to be one of the top phrases leading to accidents.

I hope he blew his own balls off.

[Chode]

Karma...

I emailed this one out to friends and titled it “another story from the You can’t make this sh@t up files”

I’m glad he didn’t shoot one of the kids. In his fear he might have had trouble distinguishing the difference.

Cops are gym rats.

Steroid test them all.

[hadaclueonce]

some holster sniffer is going to be offended!

testing is not a bad thing, we all do if we have a real job.

Poor Snoopy Sniper. So sad.

I was recently in my favorite kitchen boutique when the owner walked in with his dog - which was on a very tight leash - obviously intended as a watch dog. I was close by, so I stopped stock still, eyes averted with the back of my left hand slightly out towards the dog. The owner was a bit peeved, I think, when the dog slowly approached me and sniffed my hand. Big tail wag. We were best friends after that.
