clumsily and painfully slaughtering a blind 15 pound dog for no reason is the most quintessential possible American Cop Behavior. this is what the institution is for

Reposted from Matt Novak

There's bodycam footage of the cop shooting this blind dog on YouTube. He shoots the dog once and you hear it crying before he shoots it a second time.

I am so fucking enraged. I hope the absolute worst things happen to this cop.

Content warning, obviously.

in some countries police solve crime or help old ladies cross the street. here they bludgeon unarmed protestors, deliberately refuse to enforce the law, cower in terror from mass shooters, and shoot dogs

mtsw.bsky.social•291 days ago

Are cops in countries where police don't typically carry guns constantly getting mauled by dogs? I kinda doubt it but I don't really have information either way. I especially wonder about the UK where there are very few armed cops but tons of aggressive dogs (neutering male dogs less common there)

tallsprucetree.bsky.social•291 days ago

Radley Balko once mentioned in a piece that postal carriers, traditionally at risk of dog bites, have been provided training that helps them avoid or calm potentially aggressive dogs and thus the number of biting incidents dropped.

I support the REAL troops (letter carriers)

beaverstanacct.bsky.social•291 days ago

iirc @kenwhite.bsky.social has said many times that of all the federal law enforcement officials you absolutely do not want to fuck with the postal inspectors

tallsprucetree.bsky.social•291 days ago

I read it quite a while ago, but it was implying that the police haven't received similar training because "not shooting things" just isn't a priority for them.

Oh no, Bully XL discourse 🫣🫣🫣

jodami.bsky.social•259 days ago

Not noticeably, weirdly, as the UK are seriously animal mad
You’d have to have a stone-cold case for killing a pet over here, otherwise you could end up getting arrested yourself
Shooting one in cold blood would be a very good way of being the record for shortest jury deliberations in legal history.

nypd guy on fox saying there’s just nothing but shredded bobby uniforms outside buckingham palace, like the no-zone thing 10 years ago

scammerdarkly.com•291 days ago

we've figured out why the XL Bullies have become so dangerous, no cops to cull the herd

megatrope.bsky.social•291 days ago

Maybe, I was quite surprised seeing German cops beat the shit out of a homeless person sleeping in the Munich airport.

bullgooseparty.bsky.social•291 days ago

And also openly undermine any local politician who doesn’t miss their ass

bullgooseparty.bsky.social•291 days ago

Kiss, fuck

onbluskysku.bsky.social•291 days ago

At least buy them dinner first geez

raflw.bsky.social•291 days ago

They also murder the mentally ill a few times a year because they are by training and temperament incapable of service, only violence.

yopp.bsky.social•259 days ago

I don't actually think it's true that police in any other countries are good

ryanlcooper.com•259 days ago

have you studied police in every single country? Norway for instance?

yopp.bsky.social•259 days ago

Police anywhere are not ultimately going to be the good guys regardless of how much society tries to model them that way. Their fundamental role in society is an adversarial one aimed at the poor

ryanlcooper.com•259 days ago

this story is not evidence for that sweeping assertion

yopp.bsky.social•259 days ago

I mean, pointing at one specific comparatively decent police force is not evidence for your take either. Is your claim that the majority of police forces outside of the United States are benign in practice?

mmmagnar.bsky.social•259 days ago

Our police force fundamentally misunderstands the seperation of powers, will as a rule acquit itself of any wrongdoing, has fumbled basically every high profile investigation in my lifetime and dedicate huge resources to protecting fascist.

They're not great guys, they're just not militarized.

kidyossarian.bsky.social•291 days ago

You forgot "Get paid for overtime while working a side job as private security while also wearing their police uniform."

jamellebouie.net•291 days ago

and they love to shoot dogs. it’s probably the only way they can get it up.

publiusmaximus.bsky.social•291 days ago

Cops are like a box of chocolates: they'll kill your dog.

Disliking this emergent GOP trend very much

Drive By Truckers “Used to be a Cop” really nailed the type

ryanlcooper.com•291 days ago

the nice thing about plugging a blind lapdog is a low chance of getting bit if you miss. rare opportunity for these guys

punkhistorian.bsky.social•291 days ago

Need a John Wick 5 where he just goes across the US killing cops who’ve shot dogs

jmchao.bsky.social•291 days ago

When I was adopting my first cat from a shelter in Manhattan 10 years ago, there was a cop looking at dogs at the same time. He brought a test dog out for a walk while the staff walked an abused older dog. The abused dog, frightened, clamped on to the neck of the small dog the cop was walking.

jmchao.bsky.social•291 days ago

The cop almost immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at the dog. Everyone started screaming. The staff were livid. They eventually got him to put the gun away, but then he immediately pulled out pepper spray and started spraying the abused dog to get him to unlatch.

jmchao.bsky.social•291 days ago

I finished my paperwork and left before the fumes got to me. When I came back a few days later to pick up my cat, I was told they had to destroy the abused dog. Fucking wild.

I used to do a lot of animal rescue and am genuinely terrified of cops being around dogs--any animal, but dogs especially.

nookum.bsky.social•290 days ago

Not to mention that killing animals is a classic warning sign for psychopaths.

tft.io•291 days ago

Don’t forget the acorn

fredthewonderdog.bsky.social•290 days ago

It is not so much the few % of bad cops as it is the 99% who do nothing to stop them.

cannibal.holiday•291 days ago

Or they do the drugs you spend your hard earned money on:

sometimes American cops only threaten to kill dogs

as part of an interrogation https://www.sbsun.com/2024/05/23/fontana-pays-nearly-900000-for-psychological-torture-inflicted-by-police-to-get-false-confession/

jdvdub.bsky.social•291 days ago

There’s something else that cop could do with his sidearm.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•291 days ago

Make this man vice president immediately

garbagearsonist.bsky.social•291 days ago

I expected SOMETHING the cop could use as a half-baked "I thought he was going to bite me" excuse; but no, it comes outta nowhere and just seems like he got frustrated with the stupid-ass noose-pole he was trying to use to restrain a blissfully unaware housecat-sized dog; real thin-blue-line stuff

ryanlcooper.com•291 days ago

don’t underrate the possibility that he was just itching to draw and fire on something alive

enbuenora.bsky.social•291 days ago

that plus cops are taught it is not only permissible but the highest calling to kill any being who fails to comply obsequiously with their orders, whether spoken or simply thought

darrelplant.bsky.social•291 days ago

It looked like he got bored by his own incompetence at catching a blind, deaf dog with the trap pole so he just shot it.
