There have been too many incidents. We no longer look at a police presence as a safe one. As soon as they arrive things get shot.
You just know that in this case there will be no consequences for the officers involved.
I know what you mean. We have the same problem here. Some of the police are sensitive to animals, though, and help them. I have seen that too.
It is not consistent. Sometimes the police help and sometimes they do things like run over a dog. It must depend on which officers are involved and not on their police training. I would prefer to see police training improved so we could count on the police to do the right thing each time.
I question whether it is safe to let these guys have guns. (They make way too many mistakes) Now I wonder if they are safe behind the wheel of a car. They used a car to kill once. What is to stop them from seeing a car as another weapon.
