Someone shared in another thread that police officers in the U.S. kill something like 10,000 dogs a year. Psychopaths murder dogs. You don't become a cop unless you're a psychopath.
Never, ever let a cop into your home if you have a dog. Cops are driven by fear and sadism.
they can come back with a warrant or not at all. the police are absolutely not here to help and nothing will be made better by police involvement.
Also don't open the door for police. I've seen numerous encounters where they'll block the door and refuse to let you close it. Once you try to close it or a gentle breeze comes by an pushes the door into their foot, they'll violently throw you to the ground, taze you, and then charge you with assaulting a police officer.
Not true, I know I guy who got fired from the company I worked for a few years ago, so what did he do when he wasn't good at the job, he became a police officer.
Are you sure he wasn't a psychopath?
I'm sure, I played soccer with him and hung out with him a few times outside of work. Pretty sure I would have noticed if he was a psychopath. Believe it or not, not everybody is a psychopath, and psychology is more complex than the black and white labels people like to dole out in the comments section on the internet.
If you're not qualified to diagnose someone as a psychopath, you are equally unqualified to determine that someone is not a psychopath, especially if you've only "hung out a few times."
Not sure if that person was me, but reposting a recent comment I made to that effect anyhow. The estimate and the word "epidemic" both originate from a DOJ report of all things.

I believe the DOJ report is linked somewhere in that article, if not I'll dig it up if requested.
