Why? I liked your avatar and I wanted to use it, also I'm not "Hijacking" this thread I'm just giving my opinion which is something I thought ATS was for.

It may sound like I'm trying to be a jackass but I'm not, I'm just saying I sick of seeing commercials from celebrities who talk about abused animals and how we should adopt them but at the same time there are a ton of a abused, homeless and sick children just in America alone but you never here those celebrities say to volunteer at a homeless shelter or wherever else people need help.

Which has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Seriously, read back what you posted and try and tell me you were not out of line

Neither speak of the abused, sick and tired children in any other country for that matter. Neither speak of the ills of the world unless it is in a forum which their voice will be heard. Here you try to squelch another's voice and call your own more important.

A true contradiction indeed. Hypocritical at it's very core.

But it's necessary for me to prove my point.

Why the desperate need for attention....troll

No, I'm not trying to "squelch" he voice, I'm just pointing out the inconsistency when it comes to things like this.

Your's or mine? I've been very consistent, and have not redacted any claims or evidence on the grounds that it was wholly false. You have no evidence, only off-topic claims.

Yes, go ahead and call me a troll because I don't think dogs are the greatest things ever. Yeah, sure, they have a sense of innocence around them, since they don't speak, don't judge, and are pretty simple in their emotions but they aren't that important.

Police officers get injured from dogs very often. They shoot the dogs so they do not get attacked when answering a call. They won't scour around and shoot a dog in a kennel or dog run, only ones that are an active threat to their person, aka a current danger. I am not talking about a bit of barking either, police officers are trained in understanding dog attack behaviors and will only shoot those they feel will attack them. To prevent putting a police officer in that position place the dog in a laundry room, in a kennel, or in a separately gated area like a dog run or side yard. This way the officers won't have to worry about being bitten, You're just trying to make something out of nothing.

But that's not what you said...you said...

That doesn't sound like trolling to you?

reply to post by whaaa


No, that's not trolling. It's called making a statement.

To put power of that largely opinionated discernment of intent into a police officers hands is surely not preferrable? To be guilty before a crime is committed, and sentenced to death, with the officer being judge, jury, and executioner is not palatable to the American psyche. Dog or not, this is not justice.

reply to post by sbctinfantry


Maybe not justice but it's sometimes completely necessary and understandable. It might seem unnecessary to you, but cops have to do something that is popularly known as "reacting". There's a lot of guys who're cops who just aren't tough enough to be cops. They're the guys who're constantly afraid, call for backup when it isn't necessary, and draw their gun way too quick. But my point is this is just a dog and it isn't that important.

So by you logic if the tables were turned then it would be good to get rid of a few disgusting child creatures

Wow, that is pretty messed up. I hope that cop gets his nuts chewed off by a chiwawa, that would be some poetic justice there. What a jerk.

Argh, must be doublepost monday

I'd say that's pure racism. Pitbulls are not aggressive dogs unless you abuse them to hell. They're great with kids and families. Of course all breeds of dogs have bad apples and even sometimes perfectly nice dogs go haywire and attack someone. Pitbulls are no exception one way or another.

The sweetest four-legged companion I have ever known was Precious, an American Bulldog. I watched a squad leader of mine put down another four-legged companion, a Black Laborador Retriever because it put gashes in his son's face.

You can't judge a book by it's cover.

I thought I'd ask my dog's opinion on this.

He said that he is glad he's never seen a cop around here. He wants to know if they are anything like UPS men. He also said he is very glad that UPS men don't have guns.

Okay, Rockdisjoint. You are making this thread way off topic. Get outta here, and if you want to argue that point, make a new thread.

Esteemed, OP, you did a really good job of handling that guy.
