    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.

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