if this is standard practice than our country is in serious trouble. our cops are insane. european cops don't do this

it was about a dog but this reminds of a story from seattle where some cops were trying to get a dog out from under a car. it wasn't even hurting anyone. it just got out of it's yard while the owner was at work and some kids were bothering it so it hid under a car and the cops were called cause a neighbor was worried. they wanted to HELP the dog. but when the cops came, they couldn't get it out from under the car and finally it is caught on audio tape a cop saying "whatever. just shoot it" followed by BANG and then "lol niiiiiiiiice"

it was really evil

Ive seen a lot of "controversial" cop news where usually I side with the cop but this is wrong. This the kind of cop violence that needs to stop

Another effect of our police force becoming more and more militarized

They arent here to serve and protect. Theyre soldiers at war.

Stop or I'll blow this whistle you scaliwag!

Seriously though, I think cops stateside need a major reminder that they are public servants not an army of occupation. We've given them military grade hardware and training and then we wonder why they now act more like soldiers than police. I blame the failed wars on "drugs" and "terror".

Watch enough cops and you'll see why some act that way.

Don't get me wrong, I know they see the absolute worst people on their worst days, but that doesn't justify shooting dogs and unarmed suspects any more than if the garbage man did it.

The lack of training is the issue.

When bumblefuck towns with populations under 10k have SWAT teams and APCs, no amount of training is going to address the underlying problem.

Mostly agree with this.

I don't have much sympathy for the suspect. He put his life in his own hands when he turned the situation into a chase.

But that sheriff isn't fit for the job.

It's really not. Shit like this always happened, but it was easier to cover up.

Except no, especially given their tepid response to people burning down cities. They've been recorded standing by and watching things get torn down or destroyed, whereas most civilized nations -- and even uncivilized ones -- would break that shit up.

...the only problem with that assertion is that if a soldier acted like that, he'd be court-martialed.

You mean we don't even give soldiers paid vacations for shooting unarmed civilians?
