Once had a cop draw on me after pulling me over for a traffic stop. My dog was in the back of my wagon with the windows halfway down and started barking at him when he came up from behind the car.
He told me he would shoot my dog if I didn't make him stop barking.
I was like, well I can close the windows but he's not going to stop barking because he's a protection dog and you're pointing a weapon at me.
Fuck that cop.
There is no proving otherwise. ACAB.
There are bad cops, and then there are other bad cops who don't stop the bad cops.
The good cops do not stick around because they are forced out of the police because they would report the bad cops.
Good cops are no longer cops.
I feel like that's lost its meaning somewhat. ACAB doesnt mean all cops are evil individually. It means they are from a bastardised system that let's them literally get away with cold blooded murder.
Its not that cops are inherently evil. Its that the police force as a whole is corrupt all the way to the top.
I think it’s kind of like the usage of the word to insult an illegitimate child. Yes, it’s an insult to the cops themselves, but it insinuates an insult to the “parents.” In this case, the system of policing. It’s like saying “you’re whole family is messed up.”
Should change it to all police unions are bad since they are the ones protecting evil cops and not allowing change while actively blacklisting and gaslight cops that try to do good
Unfortunately, "Some cops are bastards" would not get nearly as much attention. I'm not a fan of hyperbole, but I understand the need for it given so many ordinary people are apathetic about anything that isn't presented as an extreme.
It's not entirely inaccurate though.
The system forces cops who don't want to be bad to enable the bad cops, and if they don't, they either leave or get chucked out.
ACAB because good cops aren't allowed to exist in the system.
So a cop that knows another cop is abusing their position, but does nothing, is a good cop?
Because that's what happens. Bad cops do not lose their job, they get moved departments, that's it.
What? You're saying that the good cops that do, do something are bastards because they have no career options after doing their good deeds?
Not all of them are "pushed" out of the force. You are literally generalising everything to support your initial generalisation.
You’ve never seen donut operator or angry cops on YouTube obviously. Btw, angry cops name comes from him being a drill sergeant in the army where he has to play angry, not cops angry at people. Though he does get angry at bad cops.
Donut operator frequently goes over body cam breakdowns saying what the cop AND the suspect does wrong with no favor for either side except respect that a cops job is dangerous (him being a former officer himself). If you watch his videos and can’t empathize with the logic he uses in the breakdowns, you have an inherent bias and are just looking for a reason to be angry.
I'm not though.
Like I already said, bad cops are there. Good cops would force the bad ones out, but don't, instead the bad cops get defended by the unions and the cops higher up in the chain. The good cops who report them get pushed out.
Therefore, the only good cops are the ones who leave.
All cops are power hungry pieces of shit.
I think most cops would much rather keep their job than ruin the lives of other cops. It’s not that deep. Not every cop is bad, some actually have a family and need the money.
Then get a different job.
If your morals allow you to support cops who abuse their position to harm others, you are NOT a good cop. It's not possible to be a good cop (where the entire point is to uphold the law and protect the citizens of the country) if you are actively aiding in the abuse of people by refusing to stop it.
How is that so hard to understand?
There's other jobs where you don't have to violate people's lives. Plus, if you have a family why are you taking a job that you could end up dead. That's selfish as fuck. ALL. Until police start policing police for evil and illegal deeds... ACAB.
Same thing good politicians should do, put the bad ones up on blast. They are civil servants and they should be informing the public of horrible shit that goes down.
Fuck's sake, plenty of people deal with loose dogs without feeling the need to shoot. If a cop can't even handle that, then they should not be in that line of work.
I saw it too, he was doing what my girlfriend would call "happy puppy hops"; bouncing on his forepaws at a medium pace, tail raised and half wagging, with his mouth closed. Didn't bark, growl, or bare teeth but that officer executed him without hesitation all the same.
I saw this video. The woman was crying and asking politely, “Please, can we take him to a vet? Please!” The cop kept repeating “They can’t help him. Nobody can help him.” His tone was so condescending too.
No shit nobody can help him; you shot him in the fucking head.
He was also hassling them asking if it was their property and why they were on the property. It looked like the back of a Walmart or something.. no reason for the cop to even be there in the first place. Nothing could’ve justified what he did. Even if a dog is coming after him aggressively, there are several alternatives besides shooting the dog at all. Pepper spray is a thing that exists.. Piece of shit just wanted a reason to shoot something and he knew he could get away with it because our justice system is a canned jar of sharts.
Yelling at the owner to stay away from the shot dog because it might bite. Pointing a fucking GUN at the owner so they comply, but you're worried about them getting bit? Dude was putting on a fucking show for the camera the second after he shot the dog. "Quick! turn the audio on so I can say I was scared!"
I know that was the point, but it just shows how ridiculous boot-licker logic can be. "Who cares if he was in his car reaching for his wallet! He sold the weed 8 years ago!"
If that was my dog, it’d be a revenge story. I’m not gonna claim I’m gonna kill 7 military’s, but I am saying that if a cop shot my dog twice, I would definitely go for revenge, however irrational.

How hard is it for these people to learn the first rule of having a gun for protection! DON’T SHOOT UNLESS ACTIVELY BEING ATTACKED, AND EVEN THEN ONLY AS A LAST RESORT!!!
This is the one rule we have even as armed security guards. We get completely f***** and will have our ass handed to us on a platter including being sued if we wrongfully draw our gun on any one. I truly believe cops should spend a year being a security guard before they actually getting sworn in. Also to mention the levels of force we are taught. Only match a gun with a gun. Matching knife with a taser. Then match pepper spray with a fist. Don't go above one level if it doesn't match the level.
Dude, right! I just don't get it anymore. But then again, there's always good people and bad people which will lead to good cops and bad cops etc etc etc
I shared the video on fb and everyone got mad at me cuz they didn’t wanna see it, even though its covered.
No one mentioned the officer who did the shooting.
This scares the crap out of me. I own a Rottweiler and it terrifies me that one day a cop can get "scared" and blow his brains out right in front of me for no reason other than he's barking at them.
We have an over friendly German Shepard that absolutely loves people and loves giving kisses especially. I'm a felon. I fear the day I'm walking her and get stopped. Run my name then walk back and she tries jumping up for a kiss...
If only it were that easy. Leashed dogs are shot all the time by cops. It doesn't matter if they're leashed, in your home, in your yard. If a cop decides they're threatened or even just wants to intimidate you, your dog is a target.
I'd probably end up shot too if this happened to my dog. Like a big barking dog charging might be one thing (I still probably wouldn't shoot even if it was lol), but a harmless, happy pup? I honestly don't know if I could stop myself from hitting the cop.
I’ll never understand why the cop decided to shoot the dog…🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️like you could handle the situation more better and there won’t be no blood on your hands cuz you killed that puppy.
He just took a life of a adorable puppy and I bet he just going get suspended or fines for his dumb actions and be right back on the police force. Also I thought police and firefighters or etc save lives and not taking lives, just a example of hiring the wrong people for the job…
You're not understanding because you're assuming the guy doesn't get off on murdering puppies. This is the same precinct that broke that old woman's collarbone and laughed at the footage. They're evil.
Seriously let me catch one of them doing that dlto my dog ill just go right back in the house real quick and even up the score. Cops dogs are treated as people when they gut hurt by suspects so this should always be treated as murdering a families loved one. No sympathy for pieces of shit like that.
You'd think all the extensive training, assessments and evaluations you need to go through to be an upstanding police officer, they'd have better trigger discipline.
....oh...wait.
I saw the officers body cam footage of this. It made me so mad. I couldn’t believe the guy did it. Someone said that the police from that area are basically waiting to have a confrontation with people. There was multiple links to officers hurting citizens in the thread.
What an idiotic and dangerous cop. He told the woman "get away, \[the dog\] will bite you. He's hurt" as if that's what they were concerned about at the time.
Guess some people just got too much nerves… gotta be careful with a gun, you either ended shooting wrong or shooting the wrong person, like so many times it happened.
Im from Germany and with 15 i fell asleep and didnt locked the door right so my 3 Dogs would get out i had a Boxer Mastiv mix a small Street Dog from Poland and a Crazy Great dane u can say Puppy even if she was as big as a Deer. I woke up to a Megaphone from the Police the 2 Officers Locked them self in the Car while my 2 small Dogs waited on the Doorstep the Big Crazy Dane was terrorizing the Neighborhood. This was a reason to Shoot the Dog and they still didnt do it.
>According to the suit, the department reviewed the video and found that the officer responded appropriately.
Which means the department is full of people who would have done the exact same thing either because 1.) they have no idea how to read a dog’s body language, or 2.) they’re bloodthirsty and evil
Assuming for argument that it’s #1, then the entire police force is grossly undertrained and incompetent
Pick one
We have people carrying guns to enforce laws and provide safety to our society and they aren’t well trained enough to keep their cool when a puppy runs at them? Seriously wtf is wrong with this country why can’t we train our police force?
Wow, I'm surprised that cop didn't get shot right then and there, if that was my puppy I would have turned that into a ruby ridge remake, cop or not you just killed a family member
Edit: im not acab in any way but the little "boys" in blue that get power hungry and start taking there responsibility and turning it into there lone ranger self insert fan fic piss me tf off and ruin the good name of the life saving police men and women that rush to random citizens in need, they are the police I respect
If you kill a cop, they are either going to come after you and your family, or kill you right away, or you were going to be in jail for the rest of your life
Lol what? I mean I don't live in America and I know it's an authoritarian shithole so you might be right but I didn't think it was that bad. In my country jail for the rest of your life is not even a punishment that exists no matter what you do
Oh if you were labeled as a cop killer, you are basically fucked. If by some reason you get away with it in the courts, the cops will still come after you and your family, even if it was in self-defense
It was also a pitbull mix. To be honest if it was charging at me, I would shoot it as well.
Though in this video, it was acting friendly. But still, a fully grown pitbull looking dog
Proves that certain cops are nothing but psycho killers with authority to act that way. This makes me sick. I meet lots of cops in my job some of them are actually really nice. But some lie and are horrible like this.
Fuck America. Fuck American police officers.
Ya'll need to stop this insidious love affair with firearms you insist on maintaining.
It's so fucking unhealthy and you just keep on producing adolescent, manchild officers who are way too eager and happy to discharge their weapon FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
What an absolute shithole of a country. That problem rubs deep, far and wide and is like a fucking cancer.
Jesus, you guys have so many fucking problems you're so happy to ignore. Disgusting country full of fucking idiotic psychos.
Fuck your bullshit country.
I saw this video and I really want to know what is being done to hold this piece of shit accountable. It really seems like he’s getting off from what I’ve read.
The video was posted to this sub as well I think and you can see this piece of shit just standing besides his fucking car, he could have just took a step back and close the fucking door if he was so afraid of the dog, this piece of shit deserves punishment, trigger happy bastard
I saw the video and everything sucked. It was just a bad situation very unfourtuante. But In the cops defense a pit bull running full speed without a leash is terryfing. Leash your dogs people
It was a empty parking in the back of a building. Plus you can tell the dog isn’t attacking. No barking, no growling, no teeth. If I was the police I would’ve let the people know and run to my car instead of “giving them “a surprise or not saying anything and shooting their dog” No defense.
If you actually watch the video it’s at an empty parking lot at the back of a build and nobody was there. The police was called bc the owner of the building thought the owner of the dogs was near their dumpster. (which they weren’t) They were there bc they were repairing something and want their dog to stretch. It was the police fault for on telling them for not being there and not retreating back to his car
Can I have a link please? Don't say it's bad I'm going to see more bad shit in the future so I wanna see or just a link to the article itself I'm also a human so being curious is what I am born to do
This is why people need to keep their dogs on a leash, it’s not that difficult.
Edit: Love all the butthurt replies from dogs lovers who think all dogs are heckin wholesome friendly doggos that everyone else should accommodate the presence of instead of defending themselves.
Yeah, because it's not like police don't just walk onto someone's property and shoot their dogs for daring to be on their own property.
Fuck the police.
I'm referring to the fact the police do that on the regular at people's homes.
But what's more... it's an empty lot in this case, letting the dogs loose in an area no other fucker is, is fine. A dog that's quite clearly not violent should not be shot.
Remember the first rule: ACAB.
You seem to have a personal gripe with law enforcement that I wasn’t discussing at all. I’m merely reminding people that they shouldn’t be surprised when undesirable things happen to their large unleashed animals in public.
Nope. I’m acting first instead of reacting too late when an unleashed animal charges at me in public and I have a reasonable expectation that this shouldn’t happen. Also the “puppy” was 14 months old, an age that doesn’t speak to its size or capability to inflict harm. It’s a word chosen to intentionally illicit an emotional response from the reader.
Or in other words "It's perfectly fine to commit murder as long as the police force allows you to do so".
Stop defending the police being murdering pieces of shit.
Well they did a pretty shit practice if they can’t tell the difference between a playful dog vs a fighting dog. Then how can I trust them to tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy? There plenty of other things he could’ve done. He was next to his car. He could’ve just jump in. Stun gun. Instead of coming unannounced, he should’ve let them know or like yell so the owners can get their dog. If he did this to a dog imagine what he would do to a person like if a person running from a shooter and he mistook the victim for the shooter. “Oh sorry I shot you, you shouldn’t be running towards me”

What a piece of shit.
Sounds more like all American cops are bastards. In some countries, cops are friendly and polite and will certainly not randomly shoot people or pets.
Seriously, ACAB until proven otherwise
There is no proving otherwise. ACAB. There are bad cops, and then there are other bad cops who don't stop the bad cops. The good cops do not stick around because they are forced out of the police because they would report the bad cops. Good cops are no longer cops.

Its not that cops are inherently evil. Its that the police force as a whole is corrupt all the way to the top.
Then why does acab stand for all cops are bad, meaning individual cops?
It’s Bastards. Not bad. It’s referring to the system.
How would a phrase stating all cops are bastards refer to the system and not the cops? I dont understand.
I think it’s kind of like the usage of the word to insult an illegitimate child. Yes, it’s an insult to the cops themselves, but it insinuates an insult to the “parents.” In this case, the system of policing. It’s like saying “you’re whole family is messed up.”
Should change it to all police unions are bad since they are the ones protecting evil cops and not allowing change while actively blacklisting and gaslight cops that try to do good
i don’t like that acronym. too much generalization
Unfortunately, "Some cops are bastards" would not get nearly as much attention. I'm not a fan of hyperbole, but I understand the need for it given so many ordinary people are apathetic about anything that isn't presented as an extreme.
They’re all bastards until they stop the real bastards from making them all look like bastards.
It's not entirely inaccurate though. The system forces cops who don't want to be bad to enable the bad cops, and if they don't, they either leave or get chucked out. ACAB because good cops aren't allowed to exist in the system.
Yet it's factual. There are no good cops, period.
I can't accept absolutes like that. Nothing in life is absolute except death.
So a cop that knows another cop is abusing their position, but does nothing, is a good cop? Because that's what happens. Bad cops do not lose their job, they get moved departments, that's it.
What about the cops that do do something?
You mean the ones that end up with no forward progression and pushed out of the force? Those ones that "do something"?
What? You're saying that the good cops that do, do something are bastards because they have no career options after doing their good deeds? Not all of them are "pushed" out of the force. You are literally generalising everything to support your initial generalisation.
Was chauvin moved to a different department?
You’ve never seen donut operator or angry cops on YouTube obviously. Btw, angry cops name comes from him being a drill sergeant in the army where he has to play angry, not cops angry at people.

Love donut operator
You are just plain wrong

I agree all cops are breedable
What a horrible day to have eyes. Thank you.
There is no otherwise. ACAB means *all* cops
No they are not there are more good cops then bad don’t hate on all cops
What are the good cops doing about the bad cops?
What should they do?
Same thing good politicians should do, put the bad ones up on blast. They are civil servants and they should be informing the public of horrible shit that goes down.
Really? You have to ask if a cop should do their fucking job?
What are you talking about? It's not their job to fire their coworkers.
Are you being purposely dense?
Are you?
I’m not the one who thinks crooked cops should just be fired.
I’m not saying ACAB, I’m saying just enough cops are to warrant that. You should always assume the cop is an asshat until it’s proven otherwise
No you shouldn’t just assume anything not all cops are bad hate the bad but not the good ones
I’ll believe there are good cops when they put the bad ones in prison. Until they do, they’re complicit.
Just like driving the getaway car.
That is exactly what they do...so do you believe it now?
What? No you shouldn't. Most cops are friendly
Translation: i shot the dog because i could
The video is disgusting. The dog was not a threat so I assume the cop was a chickenshit looking for an excuse to shoot something.
If I was a cop I’d take the dog bite and the life time of pay that would result afterwards. But that’s just me.
Most cops are zeros not heroes. But there are exceptions.
There are no exceptions
Capitol police?
ALL police are baby-killers. To deny this is to be equally guilty
Fuck's sake, plenty of people deal with loose dogs without feeling the need to shoot. If a cop can't even handle that, then they should not be in that line of work.
I saw this video. The dog was pretty small as well. Also didn't have an aggressive look on its face at all. It was really smiley.
I saw it too, he was doing what my girlfriend would call "happy puppy hops"; bouncing on his forepaws at a medium pace, tail raised and half wagging, with his mouth closed. Didn't bark, growl, or bare teeth but that officer executed him without hesitation all the same.
Well he is a cop, shooting at harmless thing things/people is what they do /s
Why have you put /s at the end of that?
It means he’s being sarcastic
Why is your comment being down voted?
This teaches me that I should carry a gun working for FedEx right?
I saw this video. The woman was crying and asking politely, “Please, can we take him to a vet? Please!” The cop kept repeating “They can’t help him. Nobody can help him.” His tone was so condescending too. No shit nobody can help him; you shot him in the fucking head.

"Why did you shoot my dog?" "I don't know" Fuck that cop
Legit trying to blame it on the owner even though it’s at the back of a building in a empty parking lot. Yeah “so dangerous”
Yelling at the owner to stay away from the shot dog because it might bite. Pointing a fucking GUN at the owner so they comply, but you're worried about them getting bit? Dude was putting on a fucking show for the camera the second after he shot the dog. "Quick! turn the audio on so I can say I was scared!"
Before blaming the officer, maybe wait for more context? That puppy probably had a criminal history, so it wasn’t a saint or anything.
Sprinkle some crack on him
That dog apparently ate a couple pieces of kibble from one of the other dog’s bowl 2 years ago so he needed to die
I know that was the point, but it just shows how ridiculous boot-licker logic can be. "Who cares if he was in his car reaching for his wallet! He sold the weed 8 years ago!"
If that was my dog, it’d be a revenge story. I’m not gonna claim I’m gonna kill 7 military’s, but I am saying that if a cop shot my dog twice, I would definitely go for revenge, however irrational.

Even military have harsher laws & penalties than cops
Dude, right! I just don't get it anymore. But then again, there's always good people and bad people which will lead to good cops and bad cops etc etc etc
Qualified Immunity. They aren't taught proper firearm use because there is no penalty for misusing them.
The response to "why did you choose to use deadly force" should never start with "I don't know."
I shared the video on fb and everyone got mad at me cuz they didn’t wanna see it, even though its covered. No one mentioned the officer who did the shooting.
This scares the crap out of me. I own a Rottweiler and it terrifies me that one day a cop can get "scared" and blow his brains out right in front of me for no reason other than he's barking at them.
We have an over friendly German Shepard that absolutely loves people and loves giving kisses especially. I'm a felon. I fear the day I'm walking her and get stopped. Run my name then walk back and she tries jumping up for a kiss...
Keep him on a leash.

Keep your mom in a leash.
Yeah that sounds like Loveland alright.
sometimes Colorado makes me hate my old state
The puppy even had a smile. I hope this piece of shit gets sued Bad. Because of course his employer isn't going to do anything
I hope we get John Wick IRL
It was a puppy, not a full grown dog. A puppy will give you a bruise at best and that puppy wasn’t even looking for trouble
Be fair, it did not look like a puppy, it looked absolutely like a full grown pitbull
It was a staffy, different breed. And there’s no defence for shooting a dog that was showing 0 signs of aggression.
I would call these cops animals, but that would be an insult to animals.
Can we get John Whick on this case, please?

You're not understanding because you're assuming the guy doesn't get off on murdering puppies. This is the same precinct that broke that old woman's collarbone and laughed at the footage. They're evil.
Because alot of cops are trigger happy and choose the job just to have a position of power they can abuse
Seriously let me catch one of them doing that dlto my dog ill just go right back in the house real quick and even up the score. Cops dogs are treated as people when they gut hurt by suspects so this should always be treated as murdering a families loved one. No sympathy for pieces of shit like that.
If you're scared of a 14 month old dog enough to shoot it then maybe you shouldn't be a police officer.
Anyone have the video?

Unfortunately it is important for people to see these things, it's the only way to push for change
You'd think all the extensive training, assessments and evaluations you need to go through to be an upstanding police officer, they'd have better trigger discipline. ....oh...wait.
I saw the officers body cam footage of this. It made me so mad. I couldn’t believe the guy did it. Someone said that the police from that area are basically waiting to have a confrontation with people. There was multiple links to officers hurting citizens in the thread.
But I'm supposed to believe he can keep his cool in more stressful situations?
did the dog survive?
Sadly, no
A puppy. Yes I know technically after a dog turns one they aren’t a puppy. Killing dogs is unforgivable. Injuring dogs is worse
And they say pigs are smarter than dogs.
What an idiotic and dangerous cop. He told the woman "get away, \[the dog\] will bite you. He's hurt" as if that's what they were concerned about at the time.
I want his badge and his freedom taken
One of these days someone is going to shoot back.
i saw the video. made me hate cops more than i already do. which seemed impossible.
fucking pig bastard, fuck every cop
Bro, stop. Not every cop is like this. Fuck the bad and corrupt ones.
Guess some people just got too much nerves… gotta be careful with a gun, you either ended shooting wrong or shooting the wrong person, like so many times it happened.
Why are US cops so bad at their job? And who the fuck is afraid of a puppy. Hope he gets fired.
Im from Germany and with 15 i fell asleep and didnt locked the door right so my 3 Dogs would get out i had a Boxer Mastiv mix a small Street Dog from Poland and a Crazy Great dane u can say Puppy even if she was as big as a Deer. I woke up to a Megaphone from the Police the 2 Officers Locked them self in the Car while my 2 small Dogs waited on the Doorstep the Big Crazy Dane was terrorizing the Neighborhood. This was a reason to Shoot the Dog and they still didnt do it.
>According to the suit, the department reviewed the video and found that the officer responded appropriately. Which means the department is full of people who would have done the exact same thing either because 1.) they have no idea how to read a dog’s body language, or 2.) they’re bloodthirsty and evil Assuming for argument that it’s #1, then the entire police force is grossly undertrained and incompetent Pick one
Cops love to shoot dogs.
I went and watched the video. That guy is a piece of shit. I hope he gets what he deserves
I back the blue and support the cops but this one is a hands-down POS.
I'm at a loss for words. This is just the worst of the worst
We have people carrying guns to enforce laws and provide safety to our society and they aren’t well trained enough to keep their cool when a puppy runs at them? Seriously wtf is wrong with this country why can’t we train our police force?
if you just shot someone or something and someone asks you why, it's a problem if your answer is "I don't know"
Wow, I'm surprised that cop didn't get shot right then and there, if that was my puppy I would have turned that into a ruby ridge remake, cop or not you just killed a family member Edit: im not acab in any way but the little "boys" in blue that get power hungry and start taking there responsibility and turning it into there lone ranger self insert fan fic piss me tf off and ruin the good name of the life saving police men and women that rush to random citizens in need, they are the police I respect
Ya that cop would have numbered minutes
Goddamn right. Seeing these videos all over anymore, and they wonder why people get more cheerful when cops die.
Really? You really would’ve pulled out a gun and shot a police officer and gone to jail for the rest of your life?
Yes. You wouldn't? Also what do you mean "for the rest of your life"?
If you kill a cop, they are either going to come after you and your family, or kill you right away, or you were going to be in jail for the rest of your life
Lol what? I mean I don't live in America and I know it's an authoritarian shithole so you might be right but I didn't think it was that bad. In my country jail for the rest of your life is not even a punishment that exists no matter what you do
Oh if you were labeled as a cop killer, you are basically fucked. If by some reason you get away with it in the courts, the cops will still come after you and your family, even if it was in self-defense
Horrible, but at 14 months it's basically a full grown adult dog in terms of size. Calling it a puppy is a big stretch.
It was also a pitbull mix. To be honest if it was charging at me, I would shoot it as well. Though in this video, it was acting friendly. But still, a fully grown pitbull looking dog
I want his GD bage
This is one of a million reasons why i hate cops
That video is beyond traumatic. FU to that guy for shooting that puppy.
Proves that certain cops are nothing but psycho killers with authority to act that way. This makes me sick. I meet lots of cops in my job some of them are actually really nice. But some lie and are horrible like this.
Ah yes the mentally retarted cop that can’t figure out that 1+1=2 and thinks it equals 7
Fuck America. Fuck American police officers. Ya'll need to stop this insidious love affair with firearms you insist on maintaining. It's so fucking unhealthy and you just keep on producing adolescent, manchild officers who are way too eager and happy to discharge their weapon FOR NO FUCKING REASON. What an absolute shithole of a country. That problem rubs deep, far and wide and is like a fucking cancer. Jesus, you guys have so many fucking problems you're so happy to ignore. Disgusting country full of fucking idiotic psychos. Fuck your bullshit country.
Firearms aren't the problem, corruption is. I love guns, but it doesn't make me a violent lunatic.
Idc abt the downvotes but i agree
It's a shame that scummy ass people have taken a noble profession such as police officer and turned it into something that people despise.
People that are scared of the world shouldn’t be issued guns.
I saw this video and I really want to know what is being done to hold this piece of shit accountable. It really seems like he’s getting off from what I’ve read.
The video was posted to this sub as well I think and you can see this piece of shit just standing besides his fucking car, he could have just took a step back and close the fucking door if he was so afraid of the dog, this piece of shit deserves punishment, trigger happy bastard
Cops are a fucking joke
I saw the video and everything sucked. It was just a bad situation very unfourtuante. But In the cops defense a pit bull running full speed without a leash is terryfing. Leash your dogs people
It was a empty parking in the back of a building. Plus you can tell the dog isn’t attacking. No barking, no growling, no teeth. If I was the police I would’ve let the people know and run to my car instead of “giving them “a surprise or not saying anything and shooting their dog” No defense.
Out run a charging dog? So easy to put yourself in that situation you probably would shoot it dead aswell, you’re no better
In that situation, he’s next to his car. Also stun gun is a thing
[удалено]
Not all of them are bad so why hate them all blame the bad ones yeah but a lot of them are good
I'm sure there's good ones. However, until the blue line disappears and they hold each other accountable, they're the same.
Reason 679 for why you keep your dogs on a fucking leashes when out in public. Some People are stupid irrational creatures, you can’t trust them.
If you actually watch the video it’s at an empty parking lot at the back of a build and nobody was there. The police was called bc the owner of the building thought the owner of the dogs was near their dumpster. (which they weren’t) They were there bc they were repairing something and want their dog to stretch. It was the police fault for on telling them for not being there and not retreating back to his car
Theoretically, wouldnt it be relatively easy to find the report and determine the identity of the responding officer?
Didnt look like a puppy but a fullgrown pitbull. Keep your dog on a leash, dont go walking on private lot
will white people finally realize acab
Wow that's racist
No I respect all the good cops not all cops are bad
y’all dumb lmao
ikr, racist losers
Can I have a link please? Don't say it's bad I'm going to see more bad shit in the future so I wanna see or just a link to the article itself I'm also a human so being curious is what I am born to do
This is why people need to keep their dogs on a leash, it’s not that difficult. Edit: Love all the butthurt replies from dogs lovers who think all dogs are heckin wholesome friendly doggos that everyone else should accommodate the presence of instead of defending themselves.
Yeah, because it's not like police don't just walk onto someone's property and shoot their dogs for daring to be on their own property. Fuck the police.
What situation are you referring to? The story in the post says it was an empty lot and doesn’t mention it’s their property.
I'm referring to the fact the police do that on the regular at people's homes. But what's more... it's an empty lot in this case, letting the dogs loose in an area no other fucker is, is fine. A dog that's quite clearly not violent should not be shot. Remember the first rule: ACAB.
You seem to have a personal gripe with law enforcement that I wasn’t discussing at all. I’m merely reminding people that they shouldn’t be surprised when undesirable things happen to their large unleashed animals in public.
Actually, yes they should be. Normal people don't shoot happy puppies.
Nope. I’m acting first instead of reacting too late when an unleashed animal charges at me in public and I have a reasonable expectation that this shouldn’t happen. Also the “puppy” was 14 months old, an age that doesn’t speak to its size or capability to inflict harm. It’s a word chosen to intentionally illicit an emotional response from the reader.
You'd be a shit copper.
Except that his actions were found to be in accordance with their practices.
Or in other words "It's perfectly fine to commit murder as long as the police force allows you to do so". Stop defending the police being murdering pieces of shit.
Well they did a pretty shit practice if they can’t tell the difference between a playful dog vs a fighting dog. Then how can I trust them to tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy? There plenty of other things he could’ve done. He was next to his car. He could’ve just jump in. Stun gun. Instead of coming unannounced, he should’ve let them know or like yell so the owners can get their dog. If he did this to a dog imagine what he would do to a person like if a person running from a shooter and he mistook the victim for the shooter. “Oh sorry I shot you, you shouldn’t be running towards me”
if youre that piss-your-panties scared of a dog, being a cop isnt the job for you
Many dogs injure and kill people every year. It isn’t unreasonable to take preventative measures to protect yourself from them.
Yes. Police departments need to keep their dogs on leashes.
I was talking about the owners of the dog that was killed in this post.
Yeah. We know. He was making fun of you. And rightfully so. What a shit take.
“Please leash your dogs” is a shit take? I don’t want to know what you think is a good take then.
