I'll just say this. If you name your pet after liquor, I'm automatically assuming you're trashy. Police were there to investigate a dog biting incident, and I somehow doubt these 4 are faultless.
based entirely on that trashy ass pet name.
Did they name their dog after liquor?
Maybe they adopted the dog with that name.
Maybe it’s named after W. Louis Hennessy, an American jurist who serves as judge in the District Court for Charles County, Maryland.
Maybe it’s named after the NY Jets long snapper.
Maybe your preconceptions and biases speak more about you than the people in the story.
Be better.
maybe you're an idiot, I'd encourage you to be much better
You made up fiction to justify your own bootlicking tendencies, and they called you out on it. No one here thinks the person you're responding to is an idiot.
We are convinced you're a fucking moron though.
lmao bootlicker? holy shit your legitimately mentally unwell reading into so much. go touch some grass
You made stuff up to justify police illegally detaining people and killing a dog; and I'm mentally unwell lmao. Bootlicker projection at its finest
I see you've never lived near trashy people before. People with pittbull mixes love to tout that it's the owner that makes them violent, and they're not inherently dangerous.
oddly enough, that's the exact same line of thinking people advocating against gun control use. "It's not the gun it's the person wielding it."
Well a yorkshire terrier left off the leash isn't going to do much, but a pitt mix? there's a reason pittbulls and pitt mixes are responsible for 65% of dog attack deaths.
So when I hear about a dog bite attack, that had been traced back to a pitt mix named after a godamn liquor (nobody names their dog after a bridge, people who lapped that comment up are morons), excuse me if I presume that these trashy ass people are terrible dog owners, let their dog bite someone, and now they're trying to play it off like they're just innocent babes lost in the wood... nah. I don't buy it. I for one, doubt these four are faultless in all this.
which is exactly what I said in the beginning.
Man you're completely fucked in the head. Enjoy being a bootlicking dipshit I guess.
oh wow, can't form a logical retort, better get out the ol' ad hominem! what a spectacular failure of a person you are. I pity your family
You're praising someone's dog getting killed illegally lol. I'd pity your family, but I'm sure they already distanced themselves from the disappointment that is you. Try not to lick any more boots today dipshit lmao
holy shit you're stupid. show me where I praise the situation numbnuts. I know you're reading comprehension skills are woefully underdeveloped, but at least try to sound out all the big 2 syllable words with a teacher before replying, k?
Lol great comeback
You're right, we should strip away the rights of anyone with a dog name you don't like. That feels like a normal and sane thing to do.
Deciding they deserve what they got because you think they're trashy is what makes a person trashy, not naming a pet after booze. JFC what an unhinged take.
You should feel bad for having this perspective. Reflect on that and try to be better in the future!
Yeah if you can just take your opinion and shove it up your arse. That'd be great.
I realize I'm inviting down votes as well, but, ignoring the dog's name, did he actually bite someone? If so, I can understand why the police were there and that is different from officers randomly barging into an apartment and shooting whatever dog happens to be around (which is a great story to stir people up and get clicks). Though it is still odd how it was handled, I would expect an animal control officer to be first to make contact with the dog's owners. Not to go straight to shooting the dog?
The dog was inside the apartment which they illegally entered. They should never have come into contact with the dog at all.
If the dog had actually bitten someone there are proper procedures to deal with that situation. Cops aren't a murder squad who get to apply justice on the fly.
Agreed.
So you didn't read the article, then.
No I can't seem to get it to open, which is a problem on my end.
Are the police the correct organization to handle a potential dog bite?
At least where I live, animal control falls under the police department. Could be different elsewhere.
Do you want to pay more money to make another organization who can or even more money to fire, reorganize, and train an entire county first response system?
Can I have both?
Yes, alas, nobody ever wants to pay for it lol.
And also a thing that happens all the time.
