    Yes but nobody needs training to not murder a dog. Only punishment will work with these kinds of psychopaths. They didn’t kill the dog because they lacked training. They killed the dog because they enjoy murder.

      Mmm, assuming that not all police officers are sadistic asshats, I imagine many of them just being scared and only remember being told to shoot first, ask questions later. Training and changing the culture within police organizations will do a lot there. Also punishment

        These particular officers are the only ones who would be punished for killing the dog. Also, they weren’t under attack. They just decided they’d rather kill the dog than to not kill the dog.

        Serious question: Why would you assume that?

          For the same reason I assume not all gays are pedophiles. Only really really dumb people think like that. Know better, be better.
