They did it again, I have great respect for the boys in blue but I'm losing it.  The police shoot way TOO many innocent people and way way TOO many pups.  They speak of how many police die annually,  do they ever talk of how many mistakes result in the death of citizens??????  Ok 2012 here are the numbers 585 people killed by the police non military in the US,  127 police killed in the line of duty,  here is an article from the examiner:

There has never been a documented case of a dog killing a police officer. The same can’t be said for police killing dogs.

Every year, hundreds -- if not thousands -- of animals, mostly canines, are killed by police or animal-control officers. According to the National Canine Research Council, up to half of the intentional shootings by police involve dogs.

Sometimes, the animals have been injured and need to be put out of their misery. Sometimes, they are vicious and killed for reasons of public or officer safety.

But mostly, they die tragically and needlessly, victims of misunderstanding, prejudice or simple convenience, according to animal-rights and behavior experts.

here is the link the killing of a grandad.
