Why do police shoot pets like dogs when they serv warrents for small amounts of marijuana is it to scare

Question

people straight or just for effect

Answer 1

It is to increase their street cred.

Answer 2

To protect themselves.

Answer 3

I saw that news too. It is unfortunate the the police felt compelled to shoot the dogs....especially when one of them was running away. According to the news article they felt "threatened". It seems however the police increasingly feel threatened and will use that excuse to their end. Apparently the dogs were quite docile and were probably shot for barking at them. (News flash..you stupid turds...referring to the police) thats what dogs do when a stranger enters their territory.. it doesn't always mean the dog is going to stand and fight...what a bunch morons.... so to answer your question..probably shot them just for effect..or fun or both...not to scare people straight...

Answer 4

So they cant testify cuz it usually is a lot of M.J when they first get their.

Answer 5

It's a domination tactic.  Plus, these so called bad a$$es were the geeky nerds in school and now their taking out on you.

Answer 6

Police are allowed to shoot dogs and other pets if the pet is not restrained and is posing a threat. If the pet is restrained, they have no right (except in cases of rabies, etc). If you're around, they have to give you the chance to restrain the animal (if it's not already charging them).

It's harder than you think to shoot an animal, but they will if they have to. I actually seem to find it harder to fire on animals than humans in fact!

Answer 7

Not sure where YOU live, but THIRTY TWO pounds of marijuana is not a small amount. Now as far as shooting dogs, if they are threat then yes, shoot them. But in the case in MD where a black Lab is running AWAY from officers............they should be charged and dismissed for their actions...........

Answer 8

because it there job

Answer 9

police would only do it if someone was in danger. seriously if u ask this q, i think you need to think it over before you ask it ok. by the way dont belive everything you read in the paper ya sure some of thier facts are ok, but however there going to overemphize particular things to make a $ off ya. so unless u know the person or were involved or witnessed it dont believe everything you hear.

Answer 10

cause they think anyone that has a dog and does drugs the dog is mean and they say they are protecting themselves

Answer 11

My guess is it was a Pit Bull not a Pomeranian.

Answer 12

just for fun!
