Vilified...
Fuck You...
That's what I want to say to everyone...
Fuck. You.
I am absolutely furious of the comments swirling about after the last incident experienced by the police department my husband works for. I'm so mad, I can't sleep at night, my hands and my entire body will visibly shake I am so angry - and I just can't seem to get past it.
About two weeks ago, officers responded to a report of an aggressive "pit-bull" in the neighborhood. This is a bone of contention for a lot of people because they insist the dog was not vicious OR aggressive because the caller interviewed on television insists he never said that.
No one apparently listened to the 911 tapes aired after his interview. The called/respondent said "aggressive". Twice. He called the police. Twice. BOTH TIMES, he described the dog as "aggressive"
Unfortunately, VERY unfortunately, officers had to put the dog down. My God, you would think he stole some kid's candy and then shot him in the head. The outcry is beyond anything I can imagine.
Yes. They shot a dog. I am not supporting WHAT the officer did - hear me out here - the District Attorney is in charge of investigating the case. I am simply supporting THE OFFICER. He responded to a call. He made a split second decision. Now the public, quite literally, wants him killed for it.
No one deserves to be treated the way he has. And my husband, being in the position he's in, has received his share of hate email over the last two weeks.
I cannot believe how people are reacting. They want this officer fired, shot, strung up, you name it. Did you know cops are essentially the devil incarnate on earth? Holy Shit! And I married one too! Oh NO!
It amazes me - how if you frame something in just the right way - everybody jumps on board. The man who called the police filmed the incident and sent it to the news media. It's not clear footage. It was filmed on a camera phone. Across the street. From a bedroom window. You can see the dog, however you can't tell if it's barking, growling, snarling or baring it's teeth. There's no sound on the video, so you can't hear it either. What makes you so sure the dog wasn't doing those things? Were you there? It shows the dog backing into the garage - but you can't tell what sort of behavior she's exhibiting there because she's out of view. They eventually put a catch pole around her neck, and she becomes - what experts describe as "scared". I see an animal, scared? or backing away? Animal control experts say she's scared, but if you were in that situation, is she? She may be backing away, but she's a big dog, and she is literally dragging that animal control agent around on that catch pole. BUT People only see a scared dog, they don't see it any other way. Therefore the officer is a trigger happy piece of shit monster. She may lose control of the dog. So the officer shoots her. Five times. I understand the outcry over that. Five times is too much. But, were you in his shoes at the time? Do you know what fear is? Do you know what adrenaline does to you? DO NOT judge someone based on their actions only; he was acting in the interests of public safety. It is so easy for these people to play Monday Morning Quarterback and absolutely positively KNOW they would NEVER have done that or know EXACTLY the correct action to take in this situation. Please...
They have the luxury of a hindsight view. That officer didn't have that. He had a millisecond to make a choice. Officers CAN NOT "wait and see". From his view, the animal control agent was fighting to keep that dog contained, there was a chance she could lose her grip on the pole, there were kids nearby. If that dog got away from her, in the fearful state it was in, how many by-standers would she have attacked? We don't know what could have happened - and neither did the officer at the time. He did what he thought was best - he made a judgement call - that's what they do. Believe it or not, they cannot predict the future, or know exactly what is going to come next. You cannot fault him for doing that. If you do, then you step in his shoes for a day, and tell me how perfectly you would do his job. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
There is no other possible consideration in their minds it could have happened any other way. The poor dog was scared, and the cop is just ______ They don't WANT to hear it, and if you try, they retort with every expletive and dirty foul mouthed disparaging thing they can say about you.
Unfortunately I've read the comments what people are saying and the things they say I wouldn't utter to my worst enemy. - why do people have such a powerful urge to hate cops? I will concede, there are bad cops out there - but the good ones far outweigh the bad ones...I am floored by the things said to my husband - close to a thousand emails of PURE hatred. Several people have called my husband a piece of shit and told him to go fuck himself. Yet another one made threats against a city employee, and then said, if they tried to come and arrest her she would shoot them...One even threatened my husband they would come to our house, tie up our kids and shoot them while we watch. What on earth makes you think that's ok to say to someone? And they're complaining about the COP'S behavior...?? Really??? So much for the human race I see...
In 2011 174 officers died in the line of duty, of that 67 was from gunfire - they were shot to death. How come no one expresses any outrage over that? These are men and women fighting to keep the streets safe. Fighting for you. They willingly take this risk EVERY day as a service to their community. It saddens me to the point of despair - that no one cares about that.
But God forbid you shoot a dog.
You don't know my husband, you don't know this officer. You don't know what cops go through when they have to discharge their weapon. The few officers I've known who have had to resort to this, my husband included- it is absolutely devastating to them. Believe it or not, they are human, they have the capacity to feel and have feelings, they're not monsters devoid of any sort of humanity. How dare you treat them as such? What on earth gives you the right?
It bothers me. A lot. Because the man I love is a cop. I know what he's been through. I know what this job has done to him. It has taken years off his life, it's taken a toll on his physical and mental health. He has saved people by putting himself in harms way, he has seen babies beaten black and blue by the people who are supposed to love them, he has seen people with their heads blown off, he's been beaten up, had his finger bit almost completely off (that was done by a man by the way NOT a dog), been pissed on, bled on, shot at, given his shoulder for people to cry on, and he still loves his job. Why can't people see what I see?
I just want to scream sometimes....
"These are good people, for the love of God, don't you get it?? They do not deserve your hate!"
I want so bad to publish this - and I can't...for fear of more hatred directed at my husband.
SO Fuck off people - I am so done with you ingrates...
That's what I want to say to everyone...
