I remember winning a bet from another poster who said I never called a cop out on this forum. I always backed the cop. He challenged me to produce an example of this. Loser had to stay off Getbig for a month. I produced about 10 instances in less than 10 minutes searching and posted them... my point is, I call a duck a duck. If a cop screws up or is a criminal I have no problem saying so. Where you may get the impression I don't is, often times some (not saying you ;-) ) will jump to a conclusion about an incident and determine the cop screwed up. I may disagree because I may have experience with that similar situation and realize there are other things at play you may not be aware of. The shooting of the pit bull video is a great and recent example.
If you are talking about Cleburne police officer Kevin Dupre gunning down a pit bull named Maximus, this was more than justified, as the dog had already menaced the community and was on the loose and there were children playing nearby. The one time a cop actually does the right thing, you think it is wrong. You are one sick twisted bastard and I hope you genuinely aren't a police officer, you pose a greater danger to your community than any criminal does.
Unlike most mentally ill patients with a screwdriver, pitbulls pose a very real threat to innocent people in the community. You care more about a dangerous breed of dog being shot than you do humans, a breed of dog that maims and mauls innocent people (mainly children) everyday and kills someone every two weeks yet every time a human being is shot you justify it. What a sick twisted psyche you have, where you care more about a breed of dog that shouldn't even be allowed in our communities than you do the citizenry of that community. This example just goes to show you don't actually have any idea how to assess a genuine dangerous situation from a non dangerous situation, the mentally ill man with the screwdriver, while from appearances seems dangerous is only a moderate risk, two loose pitbulls who have already menaced and acted threateningly towards children and are loose, while it seems innocent enough, pose a very real and high danger. In terms of danger, things aren't always what they appear. I have faced mentally ill people with real weapons and had to de-esculate the situation and I have also faced two friendly pitbulls, guess which situation led to serious injury and extreme violence?
