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.
I can explain the hiring practices of NYS, if you are interested.
I was describing the hiring from some articles we had about changes in police hiring and retention over at LP. They covered the whole country, not one locale or state.
In my opinion, the biggest flaw in hiring (that I'm familiar with) is picking candidates based on highest civil service test scores and not common sense. Some of the worst officers I've ever trained were college grads.

My guess is that NYS actually has fewer problems this way than some of the deep South states.
