Im going to wait to see if the police apologists come to defend this one since the cops were black and the homeowner was white.
Im also going to wait to see if they blame the victim on this one, and want to know if the victim has a criminal history, but dont wonder if the cops have complaints and a history of violence.
These cops seem to shoot the second they see or hear a dog, without even waiting to see what kind it is or if it's a threat. I will never understand why they don't just taze or pepper spray them.
Also, if the house really was being burgled, wouldn't the dog either already be dead or otherwise taken care of by the robbers still in the home? It let the robbers in but the cops feel it's an attack dog?
That's true. They are supposed to be professional. Think professional, act professional. I just don't know, sure people make mistakes but we hold police to a higher standard. There are so many stories in the news now of police corruption,misdeeds, mistakes etc, it's really sad.
What is sad is that they are a reflection of society. Strange how those scouring news feeds for any story about the police can't bring thenselves to post stories about the greater threat from the vast criminal element of society. They want everyone to believe that somehow the police do not represent society when that is exactly the case.

We shouldn't be hiring 'average' for police.
There is zero excuse for the cops in this story. The fact that they shot each other in addition to the homeowner reflects many things that are wrong. Not to mention that they went and frankly, illegally entered a domicile.
A cop shoots someone who makes a quick move.. You know, in cases I can defend that. A cop who raids the wrong house? There's no excuse for that whatsoever. And then shooting the lawful occupant of that house along with another cop? That person shouldn't have been on the force to start with.

Where are all these "above average" people going to come from? Have the quality of those making decisions on the direction of society been above average? This entire nonsense about holding one aspect of society to higher standards when the standards of society as a whole are declining is a bit of wishful dreaming isn't it?

Well.. Since average is at 50%.. That leaves 49% that are above average and 49% that are below average.
So, we can see where everyone falls.. Where's the other percent? 49+49+1=99
If you can't answer where that 1% is.. You're below average.
I do tend to expect that cops not shoot each other. You know.. at least 1 level above tard. We don't particularly hire people who can't read to be nuclear engineers.. So, why should we hire people who can't read addresses to be cops?
This is all horsepucky. The crying and whining about the quality of poloce disregards a few things. First is the constant blame placed on all police for the acrions of the few who do not follow the law. Do we say all people of a certain ethnic group make all guilty? There are more rioters of certain ethnic groups than there are police not following the laws. Second, where is all the concern about why the "above average" people not flooding police academies to sign up? You think this is all some miracle wand waving solution? Society is degrading and you expect the police to somehow be immune? Time to wake up and smell the coffee.

And how often does that happen or didn't they cover that in your analysis of the statistics?
