      In the US, we have these dangerous things called no knock warrants for stupid shit like drugs.

      Often, they bust into a house on one of these, and just preemptively kill the dogs whether or not it was necessary and whether or not they find what they were looking for.

      Also often, they BREACH THE WRONG HOUSE and kill some unrelated person’s dog.

      I think the US had a good cop once, but the other cops shot em.

        If I was a baddie and working with honest people, I’d remove them from my baddie club because they will fuck up my plans.

        ACAB, because the bastards chased out the good guys.

          It’s true. I know one good cop, my cousin. He joined because he wanted to help protect people. He lasted two years before quitting due to the corruption and hypocrisy. He’s now an insurance salesman.

            Damn, cop to insurance salesman! Does your cousin have a humiliation fetish?

            Edit: just a joke, guys.

              Hah! I figured you were joking. He actually makes a decent income from selling and managing his accounts. It IS telling that he’d rather sell insurance than be a cop. If I had to choose between the two, I’d sell all my possessions and live in the forest.

          Incredible. He said in no uncertain terms that the shootings were in response to their corruption, and in return they open fire on two unrelated civilian cars while trying to find him.

          Just incredible.

          It’s a shame he did some truly fucked up shit in the end. Hard to hold up as an example when he goes after families.

          But yeah, that all happened because he tried to be a good cop in the LAPD. They can’t have that.

          Man, the fact that cops attacked 3 completely unrelated people during that is pretty awful. Their vehicles didn’t even match his

      Police are one of the top reasons for dog deaths in America. There’s basically no recourse if police shoot your dog, because they can just claim it was aggressive and/or they were worried it would attack them. Dogs don’t have any legal rights as far as the law is concerned, so there’s basically nothing the general public can do if the police kill your dog.

      If you ever need to call the police to your house, the first thing you should do while you wait for them to arrive is to put as many locks between the police and your dog(s) as possible. Put their kennels in a locked room, if possible. Because if the police come into direct contact with them, there’s a very good chance that the dog won’t survive. Even if your dog is 100% friendly.

        Even if you dog is 100% friendly AND kenneled!! The locked room part of this advice is very important!

        For non-Americans, this is very much an exaggeration. You can just take your chances if you want. More than likely you and your dog will be fine. Even better odds if you’re white!

        This is a reason it’s taboo to call police to your home.

          It’s very, VERY much not an exaggeration. Cops love killing dogs, they kill 25-30 a day. I think it’s more likely than not to go ok if a cop is in your home, but you absolutely shouldn’t assume they’re not gonna shoot your dog. There’s a horrifyingly high chance they will, no matter what breed you have or how friendly or well trained it is
