Can’t get past the paywall, but there’s enough info to be outraged:
A police officer who fatally shot a dog while responding to a mistaken report of a domestic disturbance can’t be sued by her owners, the Eighth Circuit affirmed Thursday.
A neighbor of Brandee Buschmann and William Morrison called the Kansas City, Mo., police department to report noises which led him to believe that a domestic disturbance was occurring at their home. Officers John Beck and Jeffrey Lagud arrived to investigate, and Beck shot and killed the residents’ dog, a 14-year-old rescue named Sierra, shortly after Lagud knocked on the door. Upon investigating, the officers determined the neighbor’s reported noises had…
In other words: if you want to break the law, you should join the police.
They’re little more than a state sponsored gang.
I’m like this 🤏 close to calling for violence
Not doing it yet, but like
This close
Calling for violence will get you arrested, and actual violence against cops will get you killed.
Correct. Things that will also get you killed include grabbing your wallet, sitting on the couch in your home, pulling up your pants, and sleeping.
Sleeping while being a baby in a crib gets you severe burns and other injuries from a flash-bang.
I know, it’s a good thing I’m not calling for violence
We have had 13 states independant 11 years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

When an individual takes matters into their own hands, it will be them versus the entire police establishment. There won’t magically appear an army of citizens beside them to help them out. This fight was lost before we even realized it needed to be fought.

That’s because people kept banging the drum that the citizenry shouldn’t be better armed than the state.
Oh for fucks sake, how many more guns will stop the police bullshit?? Like really, if every citizen had 100 guns, would that fix the police???
This idiotic, infantile idea that somehow more guns is the solution is so fucking moronic.
If you lived in a fucking wild wild west banana Republic you MIGHT be right, but any halfway functioning society will never be fixed with mur gunz!!
So fucking sick of seeing this idiotic comment.
The day your solution actually works will be the day I hope me and my loved ones are long gone because you are describing a hellscape where the only recourse people have to make any political change is through gun violence.
biggest problem with that theory (that an armed populace checks abusive government) seems to be that the folks that tend to be most-armed are also routinely cheering the police on as they abuse their authority
I know two police officers who shot themselves while trying to kill a dog.
I’ll wager they were both awarded medals for being heroically wounded in the line of duty.
I couldn’t believe we didn’t all collectively attack cops everywhere when I saw the videos of their behavior responding to protests summer 2020. What’s it gonna take?
When cops kill a person, there’s usually at least the pretense of an investigation. They’ll kill a dog for barking, growling, looking mean, or simply being there, and nobody asks why except the dog’s people.
Fuck qualified immunity. What kind of police state horseshit is that?
