“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.

    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

      Take all the military equipment that the police have and … give it to Ukraine. Two birds, one stone!

      When dogs are better trained and more intelligent than police officers.

      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.

          Yes but nobody needs training to not murder a dog. Only punishment will work with these kinds of psychopaths. They didn’t kill the dog because they lacked training. They killed the dog because they enjoy murder.

            Mmm, assuming that not all police officers are sadistic asshats, I imagine many of them just being scared and only remember being told to shoot first, ask questions later. Training and changing the culture within police organizations will do a lot there. Also punishment

              These particular officers are the only ones who would be punished for killing the dog. Also, they weren’t under attack. They just decided they’d rather kill the dog than to not kill the dog.

              Serious question: Why would you assume that?

                For the same reason I assume not all gays are pedophiles. Only really really dumb people think like that. Know better, be better.

                    That has shit to do with either math or reality. If you’re ubhad a job where you were the breadwinner for your family you might understand that things aren’t always that easy.
