The vast majority of police dogs are euthanized after they're retired because much like cops themselves they're trained to be constantly anxious/aggressive.

We need to treat the cops more like the dogs (and stop making dogs do this)

[-] Tormato@hexbear.net 41 points 6 months ago

Which might adjacently explain why so many cops commit suicide when similarly they lose their impunity upon retirement to continue to beat and murder defenseless black and brown kids.

History shows that a stubborn enough insurgency can do irreparable harm to an occupier's sense of impunity before he retires the-more-you-know

In some places in the USA that have been gutted by capitalism the only careers that provide a livable wage are police, military and corrections.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

corrections? whats that, like, being a redditor?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

Working in the criminal "justice" field (prisons, bail, probation officer) etc.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

The barrier to entry is incredibly low, too. You just have to be willing to be a part of an incredibly evil system.

Believe it or not, Suffolk County (Long Island), is a hotbed of reactionary rednecks.

Often not at all unlike Alabama in some ways, though less than 50 miles from NYC.

If it were anyone else's they'd be banned from owning dogs.

K-9 units are state-sponsored animal abuse

dogs take on the personality of their owners

I feel so bad for that guy and that dog, that dude didn't deserve that and no doubt they're probably going to put that dog down.
