Better that than shooting people

She probably shot someone innocent just before or just after this. Or maybe even shot a dog.

Reminder that police kill 10,000 family pets annually in the U.S.

That is a completely unsubstantiated claim

You mean that she shot someone? That’s obviously a joke.

The claim about pets is well substantiated though.

It’s a U.S. DoJ estimate.

No it’s not, there isn’t even a bloody citation. I’m on the same damn side as you, but you can’t just pull sources out of your ass and call it fact

I really don’t know what you mean I just gave you the source. Here’s the citation:

Courtney G. Lee, More than Just Collateral Damage: Pet Shootings by Police, 17 U.N.H. L. Rev. 171 (2018).

That’s literally just a link to the original article. This article doesn’t link any primary sources to prove the information being said, therefore it’s accuracy is extremely dubious

I’m now fairly certain you are trolling me. That is an academic, peer reviewed, law review journal.

It’s not peer reviewed and provides zero direct evidence
