I started this thread, remember? You have side tracked it over and over again. Why don't you start your own thread bashing LEOs? That was not the intent of this thread.

Not each and every individual, but the majority, (and for sake of conversation that could be 51%/49%) it is an "Us against them" mentality out their in society/on the street. and for the most part it will always be. There are a hundred reasons for that across the country and those reasons will never be totally rectified. There are many reasons why LEO, let alone anyone in any profession, even no profession is either bad, goes bad or any other negative descriptor pertaining to themselves or their job.
For the video with the two officers; Depending on their scope of authority, meaning some entities are multi-profession/multi-authority; their LEOs or Public Safety individuals. Police Powers/EMS powers, Police Powers/AC Powers and such. Don't know if that is the case here? I would think so since Officer #1 had the noose pole either with him or in his cruiser. If not having AC Powers I have no idea why he/they would take it upon themselves to take control of the dog? or even attempt to take control of the dog. If I remember correctly Officer #2 in his left hand had his Taser and no idea why it was not in his weapon hand? I believe later in the video Officer #2 does take out his duty weapon when the dog, (noosed) goes towards him or in his direction. What little info we have I have no idea the need or reason(s) for shooting this dog. With only seeing this video from the time it was shown with no audio and with no "before video" or "after video" knowledge I would be highly outraged! I can see no justification for actions that took place. BUT understand no matter how much you don't want to hear or to acknowledge it, we do not have all the information/the whole story. It would appear that both Officers are young but especially Officer #1, the shooter. no idea why the choice to shoot was initiated let alone Officer #1 doing the shooting? He did not have total control let alone to have control and shoot. Evident by first shot. At no time (in this video) did I see aggression towards anyone let alone the Officers to warrant a shooting. But it would appear in my eyes Officer #1 was talking to a Supervisor on cell phone prior to his actions being taking.
4mals2sheps,
No one is untouchable. There is always a way. First and foremost; Time, effort, money and the ability to handle any and all repercussions and backlash. And not just one person but the family and members. What some forget is that a Sheriff was elected/voted in. And he/she can be voted out. A Sheriff/Sheriffs Deputy are not the same as a Police Chief or Police Officers. Now if there are no Police or County Police than the Sheriffs' Depart is the Police. But the county residents voted him/her in. I would think you have a County Council and they might be interested. If your area is a "Good ole boy system, then you go outside that system: States Attorneys' Office and above. Can't really comment on the drunk Officer incident, appears to be handled wrong. Subject with knife on school property. Probably the only Police in that jurisdiction were the Sheriffs Department. No Deputy is going to arrest their bosses son. A more severe crime, maybe. Can't comment on the warrantless entry, there are many scenarios that Police can enter a residence without a warrant. And FYI, KNOW THE LAW! That "One foot in the doorway and one foot out" theory is a fallacy. Articulation, money, effort and an entity that is afraid of the police.
For the most part, I loved my job. My goal was to be #1 in any and all stats possible. To have the serious crimes and to make the most impact. To put up enough stats and experiences to make "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year". Just to be nominated is an honor. To win is even better. I butted heads more than once over Integrity issues, Principle issues and such. Right is right---wrong is wrong. No two ways about it.
