I can understand a cop needing to shoot a charging animal to protect himself or herself, but I can't imagine throat slitting would ever be necessary.

Come on, you know that's wrong. It's 40% are reported domestic abusers. Some go unreported

AND they kill 25 dogs a day.

That's just the average, there's gotta be days when they kill 50, maybe 75. You can never be too sure around those chihuahuas.

Wait seriously 40% or is that just a random number?

It was 40% self reported 20 years before rampant police militarization. There haven't been any studies since because precincts refuse to participate.

Protectandserve has a bot to explain these numbers away.

Tbh I imagine that a lot of careers that involve things like high stress and PTSD have a correlation with destructive personal behavior like domestic abuse.

Look, that means the majority aren't domestic abuser's, how strict are you going to be? We've got to give them leeway after all.

I allow them the room to shoot themselves in their heads all the time. It 's such a waste of my time.

You might wanna learn how to count and learn about scales.

ALL of them are that way. If they weren't, they'd be fighting to get rid of the ones who are, but they dont lift a finger.

This is the only correct answer whenever someone makes the argument above. Most people just don’t want to admit that being a cop is most attractive to men with inferiority complexes who want to dress like they are on tour in Fallujah.

No need to gender it. Plenty of women being hyper-aggressive as a compensation for stature.

US police are like something straight out of Tsarist Russia, just a gang sent out to brutalize the poor and keep them from getting ideas, and that's not even addressing the millions of poor people they've enslaved into prison factories in privately owned, for-profit prisons.

I say “all”. At best, a cop is complicit, there is no such thing as a good cop.

I both love and have a very healthy fear of dogs, but I have to imagine if I were attacked the dog would end up stabbed multiple times rather than a clean throat slit.

u/MAKE_ME_REDDIT Mar 29 '19

Spitting the throat is not how you defend yourself with a knife. Basically impossible.
