Brickbat: Come and Knock on Our Door

When the Lemay family's teenage daughters arrived home one Saturday, one of them had trouble with the security system's keypad and accidentally triggered the alarm. She called the security company and had the alarmed turned off in just a few minutes. But about 20 minutes after that, two Minneapolis police officers showed up. Neither came to the door, but one went around back, climbed the seven-foot fence around the home's backyard, shot the family's two dogs, then climbed back over the fence.

A Brickbat of an article posted the previous day?
Oliver doesn't even have the common decency to link to Ciaramella's post on it!
I may be wrong, but it seems the worst cops are in Leftist cities: Minneapolis, LA, NY, Austin, Chicago.
Of course they are. Leftists worship violence. Everything is political, as in decided with government violence. So of course they are going to have the worst cops. They are going to have the worst laws, and the least amount of tolerance. So the worst of the worst will gravitate towards enforcement.
the worst cops are in cities...FIFY

Most cops are in cities.

Reminds me of the one who came to a kids birthday party a few months ago, got barked at by a dog, returned to his care and retrieved his AR and returned to kill the dog. From what I have read and seen [video] of this, that police officer has no business being in law enforcement. I'm from a cop family and I tend to have a fair amount of sympathy re what cops have to do every day, the persons with whom they must interact, and the risks they take. But I think some of them are looking for an opportunity to use their weapon, and if a dog shows up, it gets it. Ditto questionable humans.
I'm absolutely shocked that a police officer was able to climb a seven-foot fence.
dude i was all pissed about this yesterday. ketchup.
Why would anyone choose to have kids^H^H^H^Hdogs in a police state?
They're bullet magnets, keeping me safe.
Go fund me my ass. Sue the pigs.
It is a crime to shoot dogs where I live. Why are the police above the law. I consequencely have 5 strays that I had to get fixed and feed. What if I heard shooting in my back yard and a went outside with a gun and the cop point his gun at me and I killed him. I will tell you. Even though he is breaking the law and I am acting in self defense I would be extremely lucky to make it to jail and if and that is a big if I made it to coury I would probably spend my life in prison. Applied immunity should done away with and police should held accountable for their crimes. And all of these badge bunnies should start realizing not all police officers are good guys and the ones covering or ignoring their crimes are just as bad.
