An Australian motovlogger shoots dogs - with a DriftHD 1080P camera. His other armament? Treats.
This postal worker comes across friendly dogs, but also plenty of vicious dogs who will bite him if they get a chance. And sometimes, those dogs get loose. He nonchalantly points to a dog who bit him in the past. He wants people to know that "posties" love dogs. What would he think of our American police state that trains officers to shoot any kind of breed? Without prompting.
But police officers always voice the fear of getting bit. This fear is upheld in the highest honor to them. "They were not bit because of their quick action. Basically, that was the end of the story." They shoot dogs before there would even be a remote possibility. It's the end of every senselessly bloody story where the owner is left to clean the mess; left with the bill and a ticket. "All I have to say is that I feel they're a threat."
Unfortunately, witnesses often report the dog's friendly demeanor, but officers will falsify reports or say "there was a look in his eye." They offer absurd, irrational responses. They intrude on someone's property and then claim the dog was "aggressing" them, when it barks or approaches. They cry "Pitbull!" when it's not, nor is that a cause for execution. Let's not forget that killing animals for no cause is a hallmark of psychopaths.
But regular, rational people cannot fathom this, so they might go along with blaming the owners. They might claim there is a lack of proper training, that officers should be encouraged to use non-lethal methods. They already can but they don't. "If they hesitate it could be their own lives," people have said. To date, no officers have been killed by dogs. But one recently coaxed a friendly dog over to him in order to kill it. People need to know that none of these things account for police killing tiny breeds, chained or tied dogs, cats, kittens, squirrels, baby deer, docile cows, or a parakeet - and of course, innocent people. Nor does it account for using live, injured animals for target practice.
Mind acrobatics must be performed to justify the widespread killing of domestic companions when you consider that there has not been a movement on the part of postal workers and all forms of delivery people to be allowed to shoot animals that they come into personal contact with on a daily basis. Nor would society be too keen on arming them for indiscriminate blasting or cutting - not even for fear's sake.
One guy wants to show you how to get the job done. Please also see The Free Thought Project's report on the topic, where I saw this video first.

Not just psychopaths. I've read before that dogs are shot at much higher rates by physically inadequate male cops and female cops in general. And that the media does everything it can to keep this fact from the public. Being a cop is a job for a large physically capable man of even emotional disposition. No matter what the feminists and queer studies academics say.
And those are the people at the very bottom of the PC Hiring List.
Actually, we do know what police forces do favor in hiring now. Combat vets. They exclude people with IQs over 100. Also anyone with much education. They exclude people with a strong personal moral code like Christianity that might override commands given by superiors, as in being ordered to beat an irascible old guy in a wheelchair in Texas (an actual case a fine Christian officer was dismissed over). So those will be your core force. Toss in a bunch of affirmative action hires including gays and women who rarely top the physical fitness and aptitude lists. And you have a modern militarized police force that tasers old people and shoots dogs. A lot of it comes from these private police training groups. They have spread a lot of poisonous ideas and attitudes to police across the country.
Excuse me? I really don't think you intended to imply that combat vets are stupid or have low IQ's,but you need to clarify that statement.
No, I'm not kidding. They indicated that many PDs rejected anyone with an IQ as high as 110. Average intelligence or lower only. And no one with a strongly formed moral character that might lead them to act independently. Meaning pretty much devout Christians of any flavor.
No, I'm not kidding. They indicated that many PDs rejected anyone with an IQ as high as 110. Average intelligence or lower only. Let's clarify,ok? You are still making the claim that combat veterans have below normal IQ's?
You have trouble grasping this apparently. No. I never said that at all. I'm saying that many PDs have switched to a policy by which they prefer to hire vets but they do not hire any with an IQ above 100 as a matter of policy. If you're a dumb vet (like a 90 IQ), you're in. If you're an average vet (100 IQ), you're in. If you're a smart vet (IQ 110+), hit the road 'cause they don't want you. Also, serious Christians need not apply. I'm rather surprised you never read those threads over at LP. We had a number of them talking about this policy change and that it was happening all around the country. I'm pretty sure these pieces were written at the end of the Bush years, before Obama came to power. For that matter, they were written before LP started having so many anti-cop articles posted every day.
I did read several of them,but I never once read one where someone stated that combat vets have low IQ's,which is exactly what you wrote. I didn't think you meant to express it that way and stated as much,so I asked you twice what your intent was. And got attitude in return.
Because I did not say that at all. Read it again and show me where I said that.
You still can't see how that reads?
You seem determined to read it in a way that is derogatory. First and foremost they want vets. Period, full stop. But not if they are above average IQ. Or highly educated. Especially not if they are committed serious Christians. I don't know how many times or how many ways I can say it.
If you repeat that lie ten times do you get a prize?
If the prize is no more of your queefing, sign me up.
Does that mean you didn't just pull that lie out of your posterior? Okay, what's the cite?
You are quite a helpless little thing, aren't you? Desperate to get a man to do anything for you, it seems. BTW, this was just the first search result I submitted so it didn't take any real talent to find this. You could have done it yourself in seconds if you weren't fixated on me like some crazy beyotch. DDG: police hiring discriminating against Christians and high IQ applicants Since you probably can't click a link unsupervised: Or are the courts saying that all vets are retarded, which is what I'm being accused of saying when all I did was report a ~5yo story accurately. Not that I am trolling for any apologies and don't want any. Also, for G.I., it seems someone is testing (or obtaining) IQ assessments on applicants. For vets, this might come from service records if the .gov is paying job training expenses and sharing info with the hiring PD.
1999.....16 years ago when the 48 year old with a literature degree wasn't given an interview? You were critical of my post because it was from 2004. Hypocritical of you, wouldn't you say? Is name calling part of your game?
LOLAYDA.
That's yes in libertarianism, no doubt.

Ethel was a bit of a demon in her scooter and loved to charge around the nursing home, taking corners on one wheel and getting up to maximum speed on the long corridors Because the poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic the other residents tolerated her and some of them actually joined in.. One day Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened and Kooky Clarence stepped out with his arm outstretched. 'STOP!,' he shouted in a firm voice. 'Have you got a license for that thing?' Ethel fished around in her handbag and pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper and held it up to him. 'OK' he said and away Ethel sped down the hall. As she took the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, weird Harold popped out in front of her and shouted 'STOP! Have you proof of insurance?' Ethel dug into her handbag, pulled out a drink coaster and held it up to him. Harold nodded and said ' On your way, Ma'am. ' As Ethel neared the final corridor, Creepy Fred stepped out in front of her, Butt-Naked, and holding his 'You-Know-What' in his hand. 'Oh, good grief,' yelled Ethel, 'Not that Damn Breathalyzer Test again.!!!'
I have read other versions of this joke but your "Creepy Fred" version is the funniest.
