Imagine you were chilling with your siblings one morning and suddenly you have no mother nor even dog.

    I do not fucking get this. They're pets. They're not fucking dangerous. Nowhere else in the world murders this many pet dogs. I literally never hear about unarmed British police having any problems with dogs, ever.

    It's absolutely ridiculous.

      Dogs are extremely good at understanding people's vibes, which makes them the natural enemy of the cops

        Yeah, honestly the dog is a hero here. It knew what was up and was doing what it could to protect it's owner from a murderer.

      Cops are trained to think that the world is out to get them. Every dog is, in their mind, potentially a trained killer animal with super rabies. So you get this.

      It's high time that citizens, in kind, begin to PARODY SATIRE REDACTED MINECRAFT

        No dogs have killed cops, but thousands of dogs have been killed by cops. For some reason they are allowed to act with lethal force over a fictitious threat to their lives. For some reason that doesn't go both ways though, you know, how cops kill thousands of unarmed people and it's frowned upon to shoot them when you're feeling threatened.

        I think anyone who shoots a cop deserves a pension and 2 weeks of paid leave.

      It charged at him pretty quick if you watch the video, but how many mailmen or meter readers have the same happen on a daily basis without shooting the dog (or in this case, everyone except the dog)? Pepper spray would be more than adequate if anything. Cops don't care about "protecting and serving" anyone except themselves.

        I don't give a fuck if a dog charges at them. It's still just a dog. Deal with getting injured (if it actually injures you) and prosecute the owner for not controlling their animal. I think it's very rare that pets actually attack though, they usually just charge then bark and jump a lot.

            Sure but I'm a lot more scared of an Alsation to be honest and they're a whole lot more common here. Staffies and pits seem to be popular with bad dog owners so they get in trouble a lot.. Bulldogs seem to kill a lot more than anything else here in the UK though. It's still like 1 to 3 fatalities a year though which is quite low and looking through the list many of them are owners getting killed by their own dog.

          I agree, I'm not gonna give anyone shit for spraying a dog either. I wouldn't necessarily give someone shit for being intimidated by a charging dog, and if an average citizen shoots it then I might let it slide. Cops need to be held to a higher standard, especially if they're gonna jerk off about their "bravery" and "service" all the time. Either one needs to be held liable for hitting (and fucking killing) a person, cops get a double (triple?) penalty vs. the civilian.

        They don't need guns to deal with yappy little fucking dogs, they dont need pepper spray to deal with yappy little fucking dogs. They need to stop being goddamn cowardly pieces of shit and kill themselves immediately to save us the time

        I have known quite a few lovely soft pitties. I'm fairly convinced that the breed is fine if the owners are good. With that said, a lot of owners aren't good or are unprepared for the care the difficult breeds need.

            I'll admit I was afraid of them just based on their reputation, until I met one. My aunt got one and I was pretty nervous around her at first, but she is the absolute sweetest most affectionate dog I've ever met and I love her.

            The breed attracts chuds, but because of the fact that like 90% of dogs in shelters around here are pits or pit mixes, it also attracts people who want a rescue dog and are willing to get a less 'desirable' breed.

              At the end of the day, they're still terriers. Meaning, they're absolute cuddly wuddly widdle sweethearts who just want to be loved and play fetch but not drop the fucking ball, right up until they suddenly decide to try to rip your face off because of resource guarding behavior that was never trained out of them. Except a Pit or a Staffordshire can actually do it, unlike a Yorkie, Scottie, Westie, or Jack Russel, etc.

              It's sad, because most of them are genuinely sweet dogs, but you can not fuck around with their training. (Edit: As in, not anymore than you could with a larger and still energetic breed like a Rottweiler or German Shepherd. Meanwhile, wolfhounds and mastiffs are basically couch potatoes. Go figure.)

              And then there's my local shelter, which I am pretty sure is adopting out rescued feral American dingo (AKA Carolina dog) puppies and claiming they're lab mixes...

        I owned a pitbull he was so sweet and cute raised from a pup...until he mauled my yorkie :( I had to clean his gore while my dad disposed of the body. We had to rush because if my stepmom saw she would be devastated. We didn’t euthanize him because we knew he was a good dog.

        He then attacked my poodle cockerspaniel mix and broke his leg so much we had to put him down. we put him down after that Even the cute sweet ones raised in a good home can be violent

        oh and then I got a second pit bull and he bit my nephew in the face making him have stitches, the child was very gently petting him and even seeing if he was ok while petting him.

          I don't believe you comrade. Pits aren't more aggressive than other breeds, that is fiction, there is literal research on it. I've owned many dogs while growing up and, if socialized with other dogs, have never seen problems except from territory disputes with unknown dogs which can be resolved by being mindful and not having your dog around a strange dog unsupervised.

            Think what you think about the truth of it, Ive given pits PLENTY of chances. He had been living with my yorkie and cocker spaniel his whole life. He was raised with tons of little dogs his whole life and we have all our dogs neutered. based in my life experience they can just snap somethimes. 3 different occasions and two different dogs is too much for me.

        Late comment, but I have fostered a pit-bull and a lab/pitty mix and they were both regal animals and the sweetest nannies you could have asked for. Absolutely wonderful animals.

    Somehow mail carriers constantly deal with dogs without killing them. My dog has actually been in my mail man's truck and is still alive. Could we just replace police with expanded post office staffing?

    Its so funny (read: extremely fucked) that cops are such dumbass cowards that whenever they get scared they have to spray their entire area. Thinking of a cop getting spooked in a haunted house and just lighting it up like the terminator
