I believe the full report uses the language "epidemic" of dog shootings by police, and highlights that it's hard to estimate accurately because many departments don't consider it something they even need to report.
That's how little of a shit they give about shooting your dog.
How are cops like chocolate?
They'll kill your dog.

The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year. It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings. The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures.
Yeah the cops came to our house one time for something some kid did it wasn't even related to us. My dog comes out and the cop says, if you don't take control of your dog I'm going to shoot him. That was a mellowest dog I ever had, if you said boo it would hide under the bed. What a dick head.
There was a great video from a lawyer (can't remember it was from a few years ago) that showed how to open the door for a police officer.
You step outside, close the door, and converse with them on your porch.
Its fucking stupid we have to do these little ass rules to avoid getting murdered on our own property. But apparently it's "threatening behavior" to remind police officers that the castle doctrine applies to them as well.
Nothing applies to cops. They seem to be able to do whatever they want.
Cops don't need to execute people's pets. They have bullet proof vests with steel chest plates, riot shield and metal clubs, tazers that pump 10,000 volts into 'suspects'. The list goes on and on. But people need to train their fucking dogs. Half of them might as well work for the police.
Are we going to mention they chose the username diarrhoea?
And those are just the ones that get reported...
