Yea it’s pretty sad. Also ironic how k9 cops “form a bond” but a family pet (practically a family member) is considered property. I’m not sure but I think it’s “assaulting an officer” if it’s a cop dog or horse; not saying harming either of those are ok- just pointing out the double standard. To quote The Dude- “fucking cops man.”
US police and military are the absolute fucking pits and you never know how an interaction will go. Maybe great dudes who will slap you on the back. Maybe they'll kill you and then the government will kill people who question that.
It is not a few bad apples. The police and military are fundamentally bad as set up in most places and the US especially. There are awful people who are celebrated war heroes and highly decorated who've followed US law and military regulations their entire career but are still war criminals by the standards of international law. There are countless vice and drug squad police and agents who've never committed a corrupt act by the standards of their agency and yet they have been nothing but a disaster for the communities they operate in. ACAB. Military too.
