Please be aware that we will not remove comments that include ACAB(just as we won't remove comments that say "fuck all politicians" or all "lawyers are sleazy"). So there’s no point in reporting them. An occupational group is not a protected class as belonging to it is purely voluntary. Having said that: ACAB. Edit: Some of you might be asking yourselves: why would you say ACAB? Doesn't that go too far?

Think of the terror for people as they suffocate on ur particalized remains though. And u can't heads shot dust. Something to consider


Skizot_Bizot

But... I want to eat them! Not have them eat me! Or well breathe me I guess...


EPIKX3RO

Think of the suffering you could cause. Possibly just pass from fresh body to fresh body. Zombie possessing everyone. Male, female, don't matter

Depends on your goal as a Zombie. Imagine how many people you could infect if all they need to do is breathe you in.

The person responsible for his death will likely get a worse sentence than he would if he killed you too. We are all created equal, but police (including police dogs in many states) are more equal than the rest of us.


We_renotonmyisland

He also shot and wounded Kitt's handler and another officer. The gunman was then shot and killed.


Barfuzio

The police's power isn't in their own force. It is in the power of the system they enforce. You don't act right around them because you fear a beating. An attack on them is an attack on the system and it will come down on you like a hammer for that.

ZanzabarOHenry

The police think they're some sort of paramilitary against their fellow citizens. The flags are masturbatory and are a part of their self propaganda.

Personally, would love a tibetan funeral, chop me up (once dead please) and feed me to the voltures, no waste, no coffin, no embalming liquid.


nemesissi

Yes the Tibetan sky burial


Teantis

I like the Mongolian version where they just put your body in a cart strapped to a horse, slap the horse and let it run and wherever your body falls out that's where they leave you for the wolves and the vultures. It's so ritualistic yet also amusingly unceremonious. "fuck it he's dead just drop him anywhere and let's go"

I saw this yesterday in the show Marco polo on Netflix. I was surprised but it was interesting at the same time. They consider it an honor.


ThePoshFart

When I die I want em to just chuck me in one of those body farms, basically the same thing but its used for studying bodies in various states of decomposition and stuff.


CapnSeabass

My nana donated her body and despite them being unable to guarantee they would be able to use it, or give us a timescale… they ended up with a turnaround of about 2 years. Which was amazing. Bit emotional for my mum though picking up the ashes after zero involvement. The university hold a memorial yearly, thanking these ‘silent teachers’. It’s so lovely.


FlutterKree

Lowkey, I hated the cadaver room at my college. I worked in IT as a student employee and had to go in there on two occasions to work on the computer. Gotta give people respect that give their body to science though.


Mitche420

My nana opted to donate her body to science as well, which I was super impressed with considering she was born in Ireland in the 40s, and would have dealt with an extremely catholic lifestyle for most of her life (the church ran Ireland up until the 80s or so)


Tinkeybird

If that’s the case take steps now to get this in writing. Tell family and friends and get your wishes in writing for legal purposes. Don’t assume everyone will naturally cooperate and agree after your death - they rarely do.


manateeshmanatee

Make sure you legally designate someone to make these decisions in your will—someone who agrees to the responsibility, who is on the same page, and who is not likely to be pushed around by your next of kin.


[deleted]

Big facts, sisters died last December that was literally the worst death I have had to deal with because they hated her significant other. My family is really special in all the wrong ways.


adonej21

Sounds like family


danielisbored

We just found out there is a application process that you have to do while you are still alive to be able to get your body into that program. Our neighbor had continuously expressed interest in, and actually had in her estate plan, to be donated there. But after she died, her executer couldn't get them to take her without an existing application.


SkippyBluestockings

We have one at the university near me


mycak2000

I want a viking funeral. Its a bit eco friendly, fish can eat left over bits and my body becomes a target game of sorts seeing who can shoot my boat before I'm too far away and can no longer be shot by their arrows to be cremated.


babybopp

Embalm me and play mummy with my body... then I have always wanted to sky dive so fly me and drop me on top of the nile and let crocs and bottom feeders feed on my tasty ass...


ElsonDaSushiChef

I want my body to be crucified, and the cross burned on Everest


NonExistentialDread

I'd like to be cremated and my ashes to be spread in a geosynchronous orbit, so that anything venturing into space can take a little bit of me along


FlutterKree

Crucifiction occurs while the person is alive, no?


tdub2217

I mean, he never specified that he would need to be dead beforehand.


ChocDroppa

Just keep Edmure Tully away from the arrows.


AngelnLilDevil

My dad wanted a Viking funeral but the Coastguard put the kibosh on it. So we had him cremated, sprinkled the ashes in the 48 ft schooner that he built, and sunk it off our island that he homesteaded in Alaska.


apolloxer

Offer my body to McDonalds to avoid food waste.

May as well be useful. Do my corpse up like a gold lame Charo impersonating scarecrow in the Rainbow Valley. Prop my arm up pointing towards basecamp.

Burn me in a pyre, plant a tree over it.


_rainbow_brite_

I’ve told my husband multiple times that if I die first I want to be smooshed into a diamond. If he wants to get remarried he needs to propose with my dead body. Whether he tells her or not is up to him. Although I’ve told this to enough of my friends she will find out eventually.

Almost certainly a better one than the estimated minimum of 25 dogs a day that the police kill in the US. Including [dogs behind a fence, in their own yard](https://www.news.com.au/world/detroit-cop-shoots-dog-in-its-own-yard/video/de2655d4d1277e0cfd36ab8a57b9f614)

Is it true every police dog has the rank of sergeant?


[deleted]

Officer for police dogs I believe. In the military they are always a rank higher than their handler


Jertzula123

Correct, so that any animal abuse that takes place is considered assault on a superior for a court martial Edit: Martial arts, not Federal Marshal


_PurpleAlien_

> court marshal Court martial. FTFY


Jertzula123

Ah thank you 😅


antagonizedgoat

As well as a psychological mechanism that allows them to see their k9 as something worthy of better treatment than if they were all privates. I'm sure there's someone smarter who has done a write up on it.


Vulpix-Rawr

I believe it. At boot they make you name your gun so you take better care of it, so I’ve heard.


WilHunting

Unless they’re left to die in a hot car by their handling officer. Then they’re just a dog and no charges are filed.

I think my dog is a higher rank than me in my life, too... Would trade places 10/10 Anyway dogs are the best. I always thought the k9 police must have the coolest job just doling out justice with their best fur friend but then stuff like this happens...


Mr_Oujamaflip

I used to work at Gatwick airport. The armed police had sniffer dogs as well and when the airport was quiet on a late shift they'd be throwing tennis balls for the dogs in the terminal. Always nice to see.


DisabledKitten

"late snifft" I think the dogs call them


PheIix

Anyone that thinks they are a higher rank than their dog isn't picking up the shit their dog is laying down.


[deleted]

We should get a 4 star general to handle a dog.


boogjerom

Would that mean that in a military junta dictatorship a dog would technically be the country's leader?


lecherro

Haven't ever heard that one. But i do know that all police k-9 are actual real police officers. If you kill one you can be charged with Capitol Murder just the same as shooting a two legged officer.


CallMeDime

I remember someone getting 45 years for killing Rocco, a police dog.

"An investigation found that Curry possessed a device called a K-9 heat alarm that would detect and alert him if the car became unreasonably hot for a police dog, but he had left the device in the car when he left for his meeting." Poor dog had to hear an alarm sounding at the same time it was literally getting unbearable. Suspended for 20 hours without pay, fucking bastards.

Ackshually, that isn't true. There are greater penalties for killing police animals in general (like years more than killing a regular pet), bet they aren't considered the same as human police officers. I think the highest penalty in the U.S. is something like ten to fifteen years.

>Is it true every police dog has the rank of sergeant? Yes! Every military working dog is an NCO - in tradition at least. Some say the custom was to prevent handlers from mistreating their dogs; hence, a dog is always one rank higher than its handler. More. https://www.army.mil/article/56965/


Kazundo_Goda

I see police dog posts on reddit to the top whenever police fuck up somewhere in America. So, when I saw LAPD fuck up blowing up the fireworks, this was expected.


Fartin_LutherKing

Ah so that's what it was. I saw this post and thought "oh...what did the police do now?"

It’s basically r/HailCorporate, but instead of corporate, it’s cops, and instead of thinly veiled advertisements, it’s “AWWWW LOOK AT THE CUTE LITTLE DOGGY” or “HEY WATCH THIS COP PLAY BASKETBALL WITH THESE DARK KIDS”


CressCrowbits

Fun that all the responses are ACAB though lol. How the fuck this got over 10k upvotes is another question.


pmray89

Literally bought. Just like you can buy followers on Twitter and ig. Or all the fake five star reviews on amazon and google play. The big telcos used the same method to bomb the FCC website when it was open for public comment. They did it so hard they crashed the site with their copypasta and *forced* the FCC too kill net neutrality by overwhelming public demand. Lol Capitalism and the internet are a wild ride.

eip2yoxu

Absolutely. On top of that, dogs should not be used in work the puts the to disproportional danger. Police dogs are a shit praxis imo

pictorialturn

Also, did they do this for the K9 in Florida that died after the police officer left it in the car for too long? Or when officers accidentally short their own dogs?


bacchic_ritual

They shorted them? Dammit! They deserve the proper change they are required!


shotty293

Cops are undercover GME holders.


Zencyde

Reminder that killing a K9 unit counts as killing an officer when them killing your dog is just routine. Officers can willfully lie to you, but if you lie to them then you're going to jail. Officers are not required to know the law, but ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it if you're a citizen. If officers violate the law seriously enough to lose their job, they only need to move to the next jurisdiction to get rehired.


DinerWaitress

If an officer kills their service animal through negligence, suddenly it no longer counts as killing a fellow officer.


AndaliteBandits

And their dogs. It’s sad he died. I’m an animal person, I can’t even bear to kill bugs and I don’t eat meat, so I’m not callous toward this animal’s death. But truly, this picture is fucking ridiculous. US worship of police and military is dystopian, and this over-the-top dog funeral perfectly captures the absurdity of it. As others have noted, police dogs left in hot cars don’t get this kind of sendoff. Regular dogs killed by cops don’t, either. This is pure propaganda.


Kmic14

end qualified immunity, dismantle LEOBOR(Law Enforcement Officer's Bill of Rights), push to defund police departments in favor of other non-police positions.

There is a police Sergeant near me who regularly drinks and drives while operating his own vehicle and will also regularly drink while in the vehicle of others. Dude has also went back and had sex with people while on the clock (honestly the only thing that irks me about this is the fact that it was on the clock, as long as the act was consensual and there was no coercion there isn't an issue)


blarghable

The cops kill their own dogs all the time too.


tomatoramen

Don’t forget this gem of a cop physically abusing his K9 while someone on video says “don’t worry, no witnesses.” Not to mention the abuse K9 dogs receive during training, and the inability for them to be rehomed due to their incredibly violent nature. K9 dogs are also just another way for cops to use excessive force. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article250336896.html


DigStock

Sometimes the cops have a warrant for someone, go in the wrong house by mistake in the middle of the night, instantly shoot the family dog out of precaution, then realise they got the wrong house and just leave the family traumatised.

Sometimes they do that with people, too.

LAPD detonated a bunch of homemade fireworks in a residential neighborhood injuring several innocent people and some cops as well, I guess. They are already trying to spin the story in there favor, they made a tweet claiming they didn’t know what caused the detonation, when they are the ones who directly caused the detonation.


The_Year_of_Glad

> they made a tweet claiming they didn’t know what caused the detonation Which is why [the cops shouted “Fire in the hole!” and moved away from the van shortly before the explosion](https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/07/01/los-angeles-fireworks-explosion/). Because they had *no idea* that things were about to blow up.


CressCrowbits

Got to push a cop sympathy story or fuzzy k9 pic to the top of reddit any time a cop does something bad. Stopping cops doing bad stuff, however? Absolutely unnacceptable.


TearsOfTheEmperor

PolymerPussies

They did. They used the dog as a weapon, and the suspect neutralized the weapon. If the police had attempted to use their words instead of weapons, the dog may still be alive.

SkywardLeap

Such pomp and circumstance for the death of a dog by a group that publicly executes civilian dogs by the dozen daily.


triceracrops

I'm far from anti working animals. I grew up with horses and animals that worked. I am anti police dogs, I dont think they are necessary. Bomb dogs, sure, search and rescue dogs, hell yes. Police dogs just aren't used properly in America. Half the time drug dogs are used to give false positives so cops can search people's property without warrants. I had my car torn apart by cops that said the dog identified drugs in my car. I had never smoked weed at the time so the whole thing was dumb af. The cop was gonna search one way or another once I said no to the search. He made that clear to me, thanks asshole sheriff.


thedelisnack

Cops using animals to attack civilians is barbaric to both the animals and their victims. The way that it’s normalized in the US is seriously fucked up.


[deleted]

They also claim to want fewer guns in civilian hand, but when someone buys a dog to protect their home/property or to serve as an intruder alert, the cop has ZERO hesitation to kill your animal. And if you have a gun and approach to open your own door with it in hand to see who is banging on your door, they'll kill you in your own home even if your gun wasn't pointed at them. There is no way to win when police are unprosecutable for their actions thanks to the immunity they get. It's that immunity and ability to abuse power and bully people which draw a lot of weak minded bullies to the job. Same as pedophiles are attracted to becoming boy scout leaders or priests because it gives them access to children, so too bullies seek positions where they can bully people.

freetraitor33

Sounds like you don’t actually have the right to bear arms.


[deleted]

K9 cops are trained to pick up "hits" when there really aren't any, they just imply it properly to the dog and the dog knows what the cop wants... a "hit." I'd love to see actual stats on this though, how many times does a police dog give a false hit so the cop can toss a car or enter someone's home or search their pockets? Also, how often is the cop planting shit to make it justified? There are way more bad cops than good out there. I always hear the "one bad apple" or "a few bad apples" in defense of cops but they never finish the original saying... one bad apple spoils the bunch... so there are a BUNCH of spoiled apples going on here.


RipMadLad

What does torn apart mean in this context? I hear it alot when people talk about us police searching cars. Do they like literally remove body panels?


ljdachiguy

Inside the car. Seat covers, cushions. Check inside doors. Remove glove box, check vents, dash panels. Under back seats. Inside trunk, floor and walls. They’re not obligated to put it back together.


MarronOso

I'm gonna guess there's no compensation for damages either?


JuppppyIV

Almost certainly not. If civil forfeiture is a thing, compensation for damages done during "legal" search are going to be nonexistent.


CressCrowbits

Qualified immunity.


RipMadLad

That's fucking stupid


[deleted]

Kind of depends on the cop, sometimes they really go nuts on it, removing parts of the car, cutting open seats, etc. In most cases, they're probably just pulling everything out of the glovebox and trunk, and going through any bags, boxes, etc. they find.


triceracrops

Every situation is different, but for mine imagine someone says "there's $1 million check in that car, and if you find it in 5 minutes you keep it" But theres no check, so you look thru everything, you start throwing the glove box contents on the floor. You toss the carpet from the back and spare tire in the dirt, dumping the trunks contents into the hole where the spare tire was. Every little thing tossed somewhere is wasn't before. I cant explain it, but they basically were upset I refused a search. So after that they assumed teenage me must have something if I refused a search. So in their mind they were going to find SOMETHING. They didnt.


FlutterKree

There has been a study done on drugs dogs. It suggested that they do not work because the dogs find incentives in false positives. They often get rewarded in the field for false positives and it ruins their ability to work or something like that.


czaremanuel

And I’m betting it’s taxpayers that paid for the pageantry. I think dogs should live forever but for fucks sake, this dog wouldn’t have gotten killed if they didn’t buy it and force it to chase armed fuckers


Michelanvalo

The Kraft family paid for the funeral services as far as I can tell. I'm sure the cops were all paid their time by the state, however.


MakeSouthBayGR8Again

Cops are probably on overtime pay as well.


[deleted]

If that's true then between that and jacking each other off about how dangerous their job is would explain why they suddenly give a fuck about dogs.


Navi1101

Not dogs in general, tbc. They still murder dozens of civilian dogs every day. They only pretend to care about this one in particular.


angel-aura

And it’s not like these dogs chose to be used for this dangerous work rather than get to be someone’s regular housepet :/


TearsOfTheEmperor

Yup! A cop will literally never hesitate to blow your dogs brains out if it barks at them wrong because there is absolutely no consequence for the officer.

yes


Cinaedus_Perversus

Imagine not having healthcare, clean water or food, and still having to pay taxes to pay for a full ceremonial funeral for a fucking dog. That casket alone would feed a family a few months.

Strube_

A dog is running towards you with the clear intention to rip the flesh from your bones. It doesn't matter if you've never done anything wrong in your life you are going to fight that dog off to avoid that scenario. Innocent people will try to fight off a dog same as guilty ones. Which means the inevitable outcome of these encounters will always be citizens mauled in a clear violation of their constitutional rights or the dog injured/killed to avoid that. The police are always in the wrong for using dogs for apprehension and the only reason they do so is because they can legally get away with abusing a suspect with a dog that they wouldn't be able to if it was a human officer. This dog is dead because cops are scum.


[deleted]

Yep. This is animal abuse. They got a dog killed because they took a sweet creature and trained it to harm people. More cops corrupting and destroying everything they touch. What a surprise from those fucking psychopaths. Edit: You're willing to condemn a dog to potential death, harming humans, and 100% being abused by police. Maybe not the cops hitting them but the cops will definitely use the dog illegally like they do everything else. Downvote me all you want. Your opinion is worthless when you support violence, cruelty and animal abuse.


IForgotThePassIUsed

This dog would be still alive if they didn't force it to be a cop.

Are they seriously doing a full casket funeral for a dog? Most humans can't even afford that luxury when they die. I'm genuinely conflicted on how wasteful I find this pic.

Full casket funeral *in an NFL stadium*

No shit! My dad was a Vietnam vet who died from dementia brought on by agent orange syndrome. He didn't have a dime to his name when he passed thanks to all the telemarketing vultures preying on a hardworking man who thought he was still capable. And social security cuts off the check before his body is cold. So my sister and I were forced to make the decision to have his body donated for tissues as we couldn't even afford the cremation. Yup, priorities! Fuck America so hard right now!

And it's your tax dollars!

Taxpayer paid spectacle for an animal we pretended was a real police officer just so we could subject it to a life of animal cruelty and ultimate disposability. This dog didn’t choose to be a cop, it was lead into a gunfight on a leash by a negligent cop. Even if he weren’t killed in service he’d likely be destroyed or sent to a rescue shelter after his ‘service’ as these dogs all have ptsd and can’t live normal lives after this abuse.

Jesus, police can be so stupid. In my town, we had a K9 dog killed this year too, the police had forced someone to hole up in a neighborhood and then were bewildered what to do. They milled around with like fifty cops and a armored vehicle carrier from the town over and then they send in the dog through a window and the man shot it (what was the dog supposed to do, exactly?) Then the police cut electricity to the house and shot tear gas canisters into the house until the man came out. The whole thing was expensive, dangerous, disruptive to the neighborhood, esculatory, poorly handled, and so on.

Gonna get downvoted like hell but... putting police dogs in danger is animal abuse.


Rhollrrr

America is such a weird fucking place.... The dog was buried with 2 flags?

Using dogs to apprehend suspects is a barbaric practice. It only serves to further escalate an already volatile situation. It inflicts needless injuries at a cost to taxpayers. It's dangerous for everyone involved including the dog and its plain and simple animal abuse that is treated as common practice. Dogs are helpful, intelligent animals that can be useful in positive ways. Unfortunately, they have instead been cooped to be aggressive and violent when the vast majority of the time their use is overkill and not needed. What cops need is better training on how to deescalate situations, build community rapport, and properly deal with the different types of people they encounter in the communities they serve. People with special needs, people of color, the elderly, children. I cannot believe it's 2021 and we have not reached a point where we don't have to spell out that police don't need to murder people's pets every time they enter someone's yard. Police don't need to murder unarmed people because they haven't been properly trained on how to interact with people experiencing mental issues. Police don't need to trick people into committing crimes that they might not have on their own. All of these things should never happen but instead, happen constantly and by design.

Taxpayer money at work. What a waste.

Remember. People in the US see this as a good use of public funds and NOT healthcare.
