Twice in recent days, police officers have gunned down family pets in incidents where the animals posed little or no clear threat to humans.That's something we've talked about many times here. My guess is, the type of "Only One" who would do this is pretty confident the system will back him up and the dog's owner won't respond in kind.
J.D. Tuccille tells me the use of the term "service revolver" is "actually from a quote from the local police chief. Maybe his department is where everybody else's gear goes to die. :)"
