You failed to realize my reasoning then, no way in hell I came close to saying shooting someone in the head while they're running away from you is fine.
Excessive use of violence, maybe in your eyes... but when you become a cop and you put up with 1000s of people who use excessive violence on you, well the rules have to change.
Sure, if every pot dealer was an upstanding father, husband, etc... like this guy, maybe they could do it in daytime, knock, have a cup of coffee while talking about the stupidity of the law against MJ.
Unfortunately, especially in that city, it's not the case... most dealers are no goods, with guns, etc.... so they have to go in and surprise the shit out of them to minimalize human casualties.
Also, I agree they have no need to shoot a dog due to the clothing they wear... but, it is the officers right to shoot a dog by which they feel threatened...
The chief came out yesterday and said the Corgi that was shot was a complete accident, both dogs were around each other and the pit acted aggressively, officer missed and hit the Corgi.
Of course, none of us were there so none of us can say whether or not that is true of false... but it's what the Chief says and I'm more than sure the chief has a dog, so he probably feels for the owners.
And Benassi... hope I never see you if I ever I come into your FBO, I might forget the brakes
Your posts are always so stupid, and so deserving of a bullet.
