Routine Shootings Of Family Pets

Dozens upon dozens of incidents across the country of our militarized civilian police forces routinely shooting family pets on any ordinary police calls. There are even recorded conversations between police officers about who "gets to" shoot the dog while on route to a call. Locally, dog licenses are coming up on dispatch screens the same way gun licenses now do. Officers get out with guns drawn and if the dog barks, he is considered a threat and shot. ANY DOG, no matter how small. Cops now consider the people they are supposed to "serve" the enemy. Police work, in spite of what you see on TV, can be deadly boring for long periods of time. Officers aren't getting enough of an adrenaline rush with their daily duties as they did while serving in Iraq and Afganistan where they "got to" shoot real people. Every police chief now sports "four stars" on his collar even if he's chief of a six man department. We see cops with pseudo military haircuts, snotty attitudes and a bunker mentality. I see no good solutions on the horizon. I genuinely feel I'm much more likely to be shot by a police officer than I am by a bad guy. Cops are rarely even investigated for violent acts let alone prosecuted. How many times have we quickly heard an "official" statement that goes something like "after a through investigation its has been determined that the officer operated within departmental guidelines"? What a crock. That's just code for "we've got our official statements memorized and the file is closed." Shouldn't we expect more from our "civilian" police forces? This thread will, no doubt, be deleted as are most of my other threads but maybe a few people will see it before it is.
