    If you legitimately felt threatened by that dog then you aren’t ready to be a police officer. Might I suggest a career in retail?

      If you think retail is less threatening than that dog you’ve never stared down the barrel of a Karen.

      That fat fucker sounded like he was threatened by having to get out of his chair.

      I thought all the panting and wheezing was the dog at first.

    I’d think it was a joke that cops just show up and shoot your dog if you call them. But my best friend in highschool called the cops on his uncle when he was on drugs and became violent. First thing they did after they showed up? I shit you not, they shot his dog. It lost a leg, but thankfully didn’t die.

      Before reddit went to shit there was a sub called “puppycide” dedicated to all the dogs the police were killing. It was staggering the amount of new content that sub got on a regular basis. It’s not just a meme. Cops shoot a lot of dogs. Like every day.

    “Police body cam footage showed an officer chasing Teddy (pictured) around a large field and making several unsuccessful attempts to catch him before shooting the dog dead”

    Hard not to blame the neighbor here. You call the cops they’re going to shoot something we all know that. You don’t call the cops unless you’re okay with somebody dying that’s the rule.

      No, folks who are not terminally online are not aware of this.

      Most folks consume very little “news” outside of their local goings on.

      Most folks are very unaware of national trends and current events.

      Aside from racism, one of the reasons the blm protests saw so much distaste from the general public was because they didn’t “see” what the problem was.

      Similarly for occupy wall street.

      Holy victim blaming, Batman!

      It really fucking isn’t hard to not blame them.

        Fuck no, the victim is the dog and the dog’s owner. Not the asshole neighbor.
