“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.
The cops resent it when their job involves anything but murder. Don’t call the cops unless you’re prepared for something or someone to die.
When I first bought my school bus I needed to have a policeman come out and do a VIN verification so I could get it registered, so I called the local (Philadelphia) police department. When I asked for an officer to do this, the dispatcher said “nah”. I said “nah?” and he said “yeah, nah” and hung up on me.
When someone broke the window on my car I needed a police report for the insurance. They wouldn’t cover it otherwise. When the cop showed up he yelled at me for having a broken window and told me he wasn’t gonna do the report unless I gave him permission to search the car for drugs. I gave him permission, but filmed the search. He found nothing and wrote the report.
Did you call the non emergency line?
Yes.
Well shit, I guess the word dispatch is what made me assume otherwise. Acab, I hope you got it settled homie.
What actually happened was that I first called the non-emergency number and they told me to call 911. I guess it would have been funnier if 911 had then told me to call the non-emergency number instead of just saying “nah”.
Fortunately it turned out I didn’t need the VIN verification after all.
Finally, a post about police violence that has no bootlickers in the comments. I guess going out of their way to kill a dog is the one thing so unambiguously shitty that nobody bothers trying to defend the cop
Note to self: if you find a lost child in Missouri, don’t call the cops
That’s the state of Misery for ya…
Well… Depending of how annoying is the kid … Just kidding but…nah…but really if…nah… … . …
Again, this is what happens if you don’t give adequate training to police officers nor select on more intelligent individuals for the job. If you hire a bunch of trigger happy gun nuts, this is what you get. Don’t be surprised, this is an obvious outcome.
It’s also relatively easy to solve. Double investments in police. Sell all the crazy military equipment they have and don’t need. Actually, don’t sell it, destroy and recycle it. Use that money to then give they a minimum of 4 years of training before they go out on the streets. Teach them de-escalation techniques. Teach them how to make the world better, to protect and serve
Double investments? Police already siphon up nearly all of many communities resources.
What if I told you we could increase community resources?
Then have someone change those investments. Less money for assault weapons and mraps and tanks, more money for education
Yeah I mean people have tried reforming the cops…
Take all the military equipment that the police have and … give it to Ukraine. Two birds, one stone!
Neither investment nor training will change this.
Prison time for cops. Scare them away from doing murders.
Training and pushing cultural changes EILL change this. And yes, officers that break the law should go to jail, and that too with make change. But you can’t expect untrained people to behave correctly and make correct decisions. Of court they won’t because they don’t know how.
When dogs are better trained and more intelligent than police officers.
Cops love killing dogs.
There’s an extra word on the end of that sentence.
Cops love killing.
Isnt fox republican??? Why did they report on this? Also its not available in my country -_- but i guess fox protected me from fox
Fox News and Fox Broadcasting have the same corporate granddaddy and the same first name, but they’re not the same thing.
Fox News is the laughably Republican propaganda channel on cable TV.
Fox Broadcasting is a separate, over-the-air TV network with ordinary brain-numbing television shows. The network doesn’t even have a news department, but their affiliate stations might have local news. When they do, it’s low-calorie journalistic content similar to any other station, and not usually as thoroughly slanted as Fox News.
Fox reports violence
This is a local news channel.
Have these people not heard of animal shelters, or are they too lazy to take the dog to one?
It would literally be easier to just tell the person to look for a shelter. They’re going out of their way to be heartless monsters.
Assholes with too much power and an itchy trigger finger. They wanted to shoot something and this was a convenient opportunity for them.
If you discharge your firearm without cause it should be a zero tolerance termination with no ability for rehire or back pay.
They should have to carry malpractice insurance
I’m sure the dog was resisting.
It’s generally frowned upon to kill it at a shelter. Better to just murder it, leave it in a field somewhere and get back to drinking on the clock
Years and years of copganda movies have rotten these guys brains.
abolish police.
The dog was no angel! Let’s hear the officer’s side of the story too /s
Was the dog black?
I know you’re joking… but yes. Yes it was.
the dog had a gram of marijuana back at its dog house
“the dog was reaching for a gun”
Dog was making “furtive movements” like sitting and rolling over.
I don’t believe in hell. But there are days when I hope with all my being that I’m wrong.
May they reap what they’ve sown theeefold. With harm to none but them personally, so mote it be.
it’s no real comfort but sometimes it helps me to understand that the internal life of someone who would kill a dog for convenience is almost certainly already a hell.
It does kind of help. Karma is a bitch, and the universe has a wicked sense of humor.
Wtf!
