Holy shit, a reasonable ruling from the 5th circuit?
Dog-murdering only has partial support amongst conservatives.
I wish I didn't read that. JFC...
Does it go into detail about the dog? I need to know so I don't read that.
Close enough, yes.
Thanks. Poor dog. Poor owner(s).
What sort of detail? It explains their neutral postures and wagging tails, but thankfully no description of their end beyond number of shots fired and the blood on the floor.
I’ve heard about a lot of these cases over the years, to the point where I thought it was routine that cops just shoot dogs in some parts of the US. How is it that this case is succeeding where others had failed?
