No, I’m not going to do the math; I was making a quick observation.

" but was following training that required him to kill all dogs that approach him, even if it was chained and wagging its tail as Buddy was doing in this case."

Oh my. Intimidation and fear tactics applied to law abiding families. I love the foul language cursing with death threats while forcing little Johnny and Suzie face down with bound wrists to watch.

Force your local police departments to disclose their policies regarding deadly force against people and pets. Attend city council meetings and if possible, monitor the training curriculum of the police.

I don’t support law enforcement.

I support the Constitution.

It’s a bonus when law enforcement does, too.

An analysis by a local news station in Atlanta found that police had shot more than 100 dogs in that metro area between the years of 2010 and 2012.

I’m not following you. Do you mean she is facing charges for videotaping the officer?

Thank you for the link. I certainly was not indicting all police, but if this is their policy, it needs to be reexamined.

This really chaps me. MY dog on MY property? How do they get away with this...I know, self-defense.

If you have a dog, the only logical conclusion would be to shoot first.

Thinking they figure we can only stand to read about so many, before newspaper subscriptions fall and people turn off the tube and riot like hands up don’t shoot’ers.

Like babies left to die in hot cars, we read about 3 or 4 a year, but there’s an average of 38 PER YEAR.

There are a few apps that actually do that. There is some lag in the way that happens but depending on the connection speed should be good in most cases.
