  • I’ve seen more praise for Chaplin for actually making fun of Hitler publicly where Hollywood still had business interests in Germany and wouldn’t really speak out. IIRC he got a lot of shit for it even though he showed the dramatic mannerisms and stupid ideology in full view.

  • 2022 was the voter-led abortion amendment. I think you’re right though, Whitmer is a standard liberal in a similar vein as Joe Biden. She’s a very much a politician benefitting greatly from the Michigan GOPs absolute chaos. I’d honestly love for her to be the conservative candidate vs. an actual progressive change.

  • it draws a clear conclusion

    The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear.

    ????????

    This is speculation because it’s reporting on the possible reasons for this estimated amount of pets killed by police. The title says 10,000 are killed a year but talks about estimates. The title is misrepresented.

    Agree on the animal control part but most municipalities skimp or forego animal control.

  • Criminal and civil action comes in very few cases. I’m willing to bet very few people are shooting dogs for fun where the absolute majority is in defense of self or property.

    Anecdotally the only civil action I’ve heard of is the Nashville case this past year of the guy shooting an off leash German Shepard

  • Videos are anecdotes not data, which this article is reporting on.

    Here is a video of dogs mauling a man and cops shooting them to stop it. There’s a lot of videos of this nature, just as I’m sure there are videos of cops overusing force as you claim but do not provide evidence for. My inquiry is about this article drawing the 10,000 dogs a year conclusion without parsing the reasons behind it, which it seems it does not.

    Human lives are always above a non-sapient animals because otherwise you are some degree of a misanthropist. Misanthropy breeds contempt and contempt breeds hate.

    The phrase “not provided any evidence” is applicable to your entire post as well.

  • I’ve seen videos of dogs mauling other dogs, children, grown men. Anecdotal videos are not data. Again, we both agree cops overuse force because there’s no consequences for them, but the question is does this article lump legitimate use of force on a dangerous animal with the overuse of force?

    Edit: I did read the article and all it says is that we need to actually start recording data about this. I have great issue with the title of the article and the varied estimates it’s reporting on.

  • I could only read the first three paragraphs because of non-membership.

    Edit: bad first paragraph on my part. The title comes from the 25-30 dogs a day estimate, but this also an estimate so the title should say it’s an estimate.

    I also cannot read how they addressed use of police force on calls of dangerous animals. Dogs do kill people, especially children, and the use of police force is often necessary. Again, someone with the article please tell me how they address that, because the title seems to lump those in with actual cases of police abuse, which is bad propaganda.

    There are better ways of reporting on the absolute police problem than this.

    Disclosure: I have bias stemming from experienced attacks on myself and my dog from other dogs.
