Teddy, a fluffy, 13-pound deaf and blind Shih Tzu mix, stumbled around a stranger’s yard. He was lost.
Then a police officer pulled up. Within minutes, he fired two shots. Teddy, a beloved 5-year-old pet, was left lifeless. Now residents are left furious with their city, which found no wrongdoing.

Unless fucking thugs.
The cop that did this should be jailed.
Yeah, real Cujo-level threat.
My joke was a play on ShihTzu; it needs some work.
And I say this as an old white woman, raised by a police.
Seriously, I want that man dead.
Need your wise words right now 😢

Give a man a gun and everything is a target.
Don't give him the gun and he doesn't find targets.
Ergo, less guns in the hands of idiots with credentials, less people getting shot.
Pretty basic stuff.
They make every situation worse with their trigger happy presence and stupidity
If you want policing to be different you'll have to fight the "fund the police" contingent.
You are 100% correct that the job of a police officer is to "end the threat". So whatever that threat is interpreted to be, the police will end it.
😭

It seems pretty relevant on a wide scale.

They should also not publish the scores of tonight's Royals-Rays game and wait holy shit the Royals are 32-19?
I didn't, until I saw reporting about an incident that also talked about how often it happened during search warrants, oftentimes in front of children.

If the region is the US, sure.
Stanley looks great! 😊
I was not defending the cop - what happens is awful & stupid & the cop needs to be investigated- obviously.
I was criticizing Wapo for posting THIS story on Bluesky for outrage clicks.
All of your outrage replies made my point for me… 😉
All of the above are things you don’t seem to understand given your statements.
Is it being investigated or has the city concluded that the officer did no wrongdoing, directly putting a halt to any further investigation?
Do you think *national outrage* might cause the city to reconsider their already-concluded investigation?

OK bro...
Anyway, people should know the fucked up things cops do. From sea to shining sea.
Cops enjoy shooting dogs. Especially this one.
Left lifeless how?
