What you did today
As the more impartial article I linked in the other thread said All bigger and stronger breeds are more likely to be deadly in the event of an attack. Luckily great danes and saint bernards aren't seen as a cool macho status symbol so you get less idiots raising and encouraging their dogs to be aggressive

I think this is one of those nature vs nuture things. I disagree with the breed itself being the main reason why pit bull attacks are the most common and I would say it's more lack of socialization and responsible ownership but I would agree with breed being why they are most brutal. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/truth-about-pit-bulls You may not agree and I accept that let's just move on

the fact that he did so poorly in the situation with the dog does not give me much confidence in his ability to deal with those real issues and Denver is a pretty safe city

What you did today
You're going to hate me for saying this, but I really can't agree. You had an out of control dog, you have a trained police officer. I wouldn't scrap the officer's life, or their utility to the city for the sake of one damn dog. Enforcing standards of conduct is partly about having a sense of proportion. It was probably more dangerous to fire 5 shots in such close proximity to other people with little regard to surroundings The officers were also not trained to deal with dogs but that has since been partially rectified as now all officers have to undergo training I would not ask to have his life or career ruined but there wasn't even a reprimand for shooting a dog trying to flee and that's what gets me. If he panicked and shot a twice tasered and collared dog I don't have much faith in how he would acquit himself in an actual life or death situation

The dog was tasered, collared, and trying to get away when the cop shot it 5 times The argument was that he didn't need to shoot it the dog when he could have assisted the female animal control officer who was struggling to control it. The dog was moving away from the woman when he shot it the first time and continued to shoot it 4 more times. Most people weren't asking that he go to jail but it was expected that at least he would get an official reprimand and at most lose his job. No compassion because of the breed is kind of a dim view He's the full video where you can see the dog is not moving towards the animal control officer when first shot but is simply trying to flee. You can just skip to the last 15 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XMKqwQm4L9Y

I'm 3 sheets to the wind and out of all of my favorite alcohol so I'm working my way through a bottle of Southern Comfort Cherry I kinda like it with oj EDIT: it's funny, the only yjomh I'm never out of is tequila.

Ideology aside the usual argument against copy and pasting the health care system from some other country is that none of the countries have anything close to the numbers that we are dealing with. We have cities with more people than some of these countries. Personally, I would love if we could get some kind of UHC here but I don't think its ever going to happen in my life time unless the US breaks up into smaller countries- Shadowrun Returns
