“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.

    Yes but nobody needs training to not murder a dog. Only punishment will work with these kinds of psychopaths. They didn’t kill the dog because they lacked training. They killed the dog because they enjoy murder.

      Mmm, assuming that not all police officers are sadistic asshats, I imagine many of them just being scared and only remember being told to shoot first, ask questions later. Training and changing the culture within police organizations will do a lot there. Also punishment

        These particular officers are the only ones who would be punished for killing the dog. Also, they weren’t under attack. They just decided they’d rather kill the dog than to not kill the dog.

        Serious question: Why would you assume that?

          For the same reason I assume not all gays are pedophiles. Only really really dumb people think like that. Know better, be better.

              That has shit to do with either math or reality. If you’re ubhad a job where you were the breadwinner for your family you might understand that things aren’t always that easy.

                  “If you ever had”… mobile phone sometimes messes up writing.

                  And it’s not because you disagree with me, it’s because you’re saying dumb stuff. Generalizations like that are always wrong and yes I see the irony in that statement.

                  There are more than rnot police officers that see the problems and have little options to do something about it as real life kinda saddles you up with things like responsibilities for wife and kids… Life is not black and white and it’s very easy for you to make these bold claims while not knowing the real reasons for so many police officers not to speak up.
