That Saturday night interaction an officer-involved shooting that left two emotional-support dogs seriously injured has embroiled the Minneapolis Police Department in controversy.
Video of the shooting recorded by an overhead security camera has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, including by many animal lovers who are calling for the officers badge.

the few times I tried it. (Though, not guilt free.)

(3,040 posts)6. You are still making them...
Ad revenue so, I say it is a wash.

Most cops shouldn't be allowed to carry guns.
When someone chooses to carry a gun for "self defense" that's a fucking big red flag that they might not be fit to do so.

Un-fucking-believeable how cowardly cops have become.

was friendly. They were acting happy to see a person. Then the SOB shot them.
