Don’t police dogs have a rank? I seem to remember that makes it “harming a police officer” or “killing a police officer” when a civilian fights back against the K9. If a cop kills another cop, he just gets fired and strolls down to the next precinct to his next cop job?
- Pretty much.
- Wait till you hear what they do to people that report on their corrupt/abusive fellow cops...

- That's what happens when they kill anyone else. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just fired? I was under the impression that canine officers were considered officers and killing them was considered a crime.
- FTA:
  "The district attorney's office will determine if prosecution is warranted."
  
  I bet infinity billion dollars that I know which way they'll go on this.
  
  Give it 5 months and he will be rehired 3 counties over.

They just can’t stop killing dogs

So there is a way that cops face consequences. Maybe if people wear dog suits, we'd do OK
- They treat dogs as target practice. I don't think that'll get the desired result. You have to become a cop and then put on the dog suit.
  
  So many hoops to jump through!
- Bad idea with ICE Barbie around

Wasn't even an asshole dog, it was a bloodhound which is about as innocent as you get!

I feel like I've definitely read stories about some one hitting a police dog and being charged as if they hit an officer....kinda shocked this just gets a firing. I
