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.

To be fair, the literal same is true of cops killing people. Not a stat legally required to be recorded in many states. Which is fucking insane.

Edit: posted below, only California and Texas have to report fatal use of force.

In my country, police have to account for every round fired if they deploy their weapons.

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.
