Someone shared in another thread that police officers in the U.S. kill something like 10,000 dogs a year. Psychopaths murder dogs. You don't become a cop unless you're a psychopath.

These people did nothing wrong and were accosted by armed thugs in their own home. The dog did nothing wrong and was murdered. The taxpayers did nothing wrong and will pay out tons of money to these people. The police, who did everything wrong, will face no repercussions for their actions because qualified immunity dictates that they didn't necessarily know that holding innocent people at gunpoint violates their rights.

Fun fact about this blatantly criminal police department, they currently have an officer on trial for murder because he shot a suspect 7 times while that suspect was HANDCUFFED AND IN THE FUCKING POLICE CAR

This incident happened four years ago, and taxpayers who did nothing wrong have already settled with the victim's family for millions. The judge presiding over the case has openly accused the prosecution of sandbagging the case for four years and rejected a plea deal the prosecution offered the officer because the victim's family protested that it was too lenient. This man shot and killed a cooperative, restrained suspect and the prosecution is doing everything they can to let him off the hook, down to and including just not having a trial because they think he'll be convicted. This is what we mean when we say ACAB, that the police engage in blatant, open criminality up to and including murder and then an entire system does everything it can to avoid holding them responsible. Same story with Jackie Johnson, the DA who initially failed to charge the men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery. She's been charged with misconduct as well, but it's been years and she's not even been arraigned. She violated the law and her oath of office in order to cover up a lynching because one of the murderers is an ex-cop and friend of hers, and she's being protected from the consequences of enabling a lynch mob by a system that knows that the cops are there to use violence to protect aristocrats from the underclass. Same with Freddie Gray. The neighboring police department in Baltimore arrested him for having a knife even though that isn't illegal, loaded him into a van, then the official story is "no one knows what happened and no one did anything wrong but he died of a broken neck".

The police are a street gang. They get to use violence any time they want to without responsibility, and in exchange for that they allow the wealthy to occasionally funnel that violence toward inconvenient people. There is no law, only favor and violence.

Pretty fucked up, but not surprising... Why do settlements come from uninvolved taxpayers, rather than the police "union"!?

HEY ANY OF YOU MAGA SHITHEADS WANNA TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU'RE AGAINST GOVERNMENT TYRANNY? YOU GONNA "BACK THE FUCKING BLUE" AGAIN, YOU BUNCH OF PUSSIES?

“ The county offered to compensate Umana for her veterinary bills if she agreed to refrain from publicly speaking about the shooting, but she rejected the offer, according to her lawsuit.”

Sickening

Ah yes paid vacation for fucking with civilians and shooting their dog

ACAB

I'll be honest, if a policemen did that to a pet of mine, their aim better be good enough to one tap me, otherwise they're dead.

What's up with US police and dogs, what's the beef? I used to work briefly on emergency services and dogs, no matter how demonic, were just pushed aside if they decided to come have a sniff. Which rarely happened in the first place.

ACAB.
