Cops Kill Dog For Getting Off the Couch. Federal Court Says That's Cool.

So you have some dogs. They love you, you love them. They spend most of their days curled up on your couch, dreaming about when you might spend some time with them. What a life.


But if a cop, in uniform or otherwise, bangs your door down, or shows up, gun drawn, screaming "Warrant, get the fuck down!" and your dog understandably notes this fearful intrusion and dares bark, or take a stance to protect its home, the cop can kill the dog. It's just a dog. Property, right?


Let's see, who can cops kill at will, in their own homes or on the street? Dogs, black men, submissive girls, handcuffed naked guys, drunk or mentally ill women and men, children. Well that covers it. Killing without cost or repercussion. Quite the work if you can stomach it.


What the holy hell were these robed wrecks thinking? In this boneheaded, civil right-stealing decision, captioned Brown v. Battle Creek Michigan Police , the borks on the panel said the officer's "safety," not his life, his safety, was more important than the dog owner's innocent canine family members. Yes, members. Plural. Because in this dank, disturbing case, the trigger-happy jackbooted dipshits with badges killed TWO dogs. Their crime? Being dogs. AOL Article here.

The owner of the house told the police there were dogs inside. The cops saw the "beware of dogs" sign at the house. THE COPS SAW THE DOGS INSIDE BARKING AND JUMPING AROUND WHILE THEY GATHERED ON THE PORCH GETTING READY TO TEAR DOWN THE DOOR.


Even before they got to the house, these ninja-jammy clad idiots had actually been briefed about the dogs. If justice really did prevail in Michigan, then the killers would have brought meat with tranquilizers, a tranquilizer gun, animal control officers, or just waited. But nooo,


"Gotta go gets me some drugs and bad guys! Boo-Ya motherfucker!"


If they had reason to bust the door down, they had time to wait for a better moment.


Ugh.


This decision is another jagged nail in the decimated body of American civil rights. It is the epitome of anti-populace-slanted laws. With this opinion the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals continued the creeping and insidious judicial destruction of freedom from police overreach and violence toward American citizens - and their loved ones.


May the judges' dogs never meet a cowardly, stupid cop.

Brutal Bad Cops Have to Pay

I don't think I can sit idly by complaining and ranting on Twitter about bad cops savagely violating the civil and human rights of plainly innocent people. 


This constant flow of police abuse roils my gut and makes me sick with bile and pent up anger.


No more tweets. It is time for action.


These malicious abusers have to be stopped. If an un-arrested, un-tried, un-convicted citizen dies or is injured at the hands of police, then the law should PRESUME the police committed a crime, with only narrow and strictly construed defenses allowed.


Awful, vicious abusers of state power, with ex post facto planted guns and drugs, backed by false reports, protected by their willfully lying coworkers and clueless employers, who quote internal policies as if they were actually law, will have to pay and pay dearly.


Just look at this sickening body cam video of a vicious, power-mad cop brutally assaulting a guy just hanging out on his mom's porch.


After getting beat down for being black, the cop charged the victim with assaulting an officer. The assault victim was charged! He definitely got his face in the way of the cop's fist.


This is just so wrong.


The district prosecutor, Howard Neumann (Alfred E. Neumann's brother?) said a cop can do whatever he wants!? He couldn't see a crime by the cop. Are you kidding? Where can I get some of these beat, taser, and kill people and then get paid leave rules?


The full story is here, at the Washington Post.


What rulebook applies to cops? Not the one the rest of us, who are supposed to be presumed innocent, get. That is clear. And it has to change.


This finally makes me mad enough to sue someone. Hard. And repeatedly.
