“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.

    Mmm, assuming that not all police officers are sadistic asshats

    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.

          That has shit to do with either math or reality. If you’re ubhad a job where you were the breadwinner for your family you might understand that things aren’t always that easy.

              “If you ever had”… mobile phone sometimes messes up writing.

              And it’s not because you disagree with me, it’s because you’re saying dumb stuff. Generalizations like that are always wrong and yes I see the irony in that statement.

              There are more than rnot police officers that see the problems and have little options to do something about it as real life kinda saddles you up with things like responsibilities for wife and kids… Life is not black and white and it’s very easy for you to make these bold claims while not knowing the real reasons for so many police officers not to speak up.

                I know “the real reasons for so many police officers not to speak up.” Do you?

                  Oohh, you have access to magical knowledge, you were able to peer in each and all of their heads!

                  This is a highly complicated subject with probably hundreds of factors influencing decisions of individual officers and large groups, and solving it requires no doubtedly a lot of work, time, money, structural reorganisations, cultural changes, training…

                  But I’m sure you know better because you know that there is a single reason for all of it! You know that it is something along the lines of “ACAB”, amirite?

                  Complicated problems do not have simple solutions. I know that “defund the police” is a popular slogan, it’s als dumb. You NEED police. You just are stuck with very shitty police, but defunding it, or just saying acab is not going to solve anything
