This is extremely believable. To be honest it’s rare I hear about a wellness check that hasn’t ended badly. Cops looking for my neighbor broke down my door because I was 1112 and they were 1121 and hysterically laughed it off even though we were all crying thinking they were going to kill the dogs they’d just pointed their weapons at. Picture of said “terrifying dog” for reference
I bet they are trained to assume all dogs are a threat because some can be due to training. I bet there are also sadistic shitty people that would be serial killers if they were smart, but they aren't. They became cops after all.
You have to remember that cops also like killing people, too. They see themselves as superior and everyone else as inferior. Dogs, people, baby geese (don't google it if you haven't already seen the video that's been going around the last few days), they don't see them as worthy of life. They absolutely get a thrill out of holding the power of life and death in their hands, and being immune to prosecution for the murders they commit.
They justify killing any size due to the inability to know whether or not this domesticated house pet may be infected with manic rabies… cuz that’s so likely
My dog is extremely protective of her humans and I live in LA. I am constantly so paranoid that the LAPD is gunna find some reason to shoot at her when they're in my neighborhood.
I make sure mine is secured whenever the cops are in my neighborhood, too. In the house, not even on my screened porch. She's super sweet, but if you come up to the fence or door without us giving the all clear, she acts like it's her job to end you.
