It's okay for them to kill your dog, but don't you dare shoot theirs.

No need to use bullets on police dogs. Not when the alternative nuclear option costs almost nothing.

It goes without saying though, if you handle such material without being suited up, you can't be around the dogs of friendlies for a very very long time.

Every day, mail carriers, UPS and Fed-Ex delivery men, plumbers, landscapers, and so on, handle interactions with our dogs without resorting to violence.


Can anybody offer an explanation why cops so very often shoot and kill our dogs? And us? With little in the way of accountability?

And why is it nearly non-existent for cops to make a stand against the bad apples in their midst?

Police killing dogs, often without provocation, is too prevalent for me to believe it is not a standard training policy. While freedom of information laws differ greatly from state to state, this is worth researching. Of course, ANY gun fire on my property,except those who have permission to hunt here, will result in me returning fire. I've seen some ricochets that seemed physically impossible; so my claim of being in danger is not without merit.

That's sort of the whole point of being part of the power structure: you can kill and steal at will, but it cannot be done back to you, except by those further up the food chain, who have little desire to do so, so long as their are still peasants to abuse.

It's called a *Ruling* class for a reason.
