Wow. That's effed up. They even shot his dog? That cop must have been waiting in line for a PS3 too and didn't get one.

The police apparently shot the guy for no apparent reason and this is not acceptable at all.

I just see this as another example of police brutality.

=> the guy who committed the crime is innocent until proven guilty, but not the cops. It seems it's okay to have that mindset, as long as the person being criticised is part of the establishment? (I exaggerate, but responses like that had me staring at my screen in wonder)
Hm.
Of course, comments on both articles seem to often be to that effect, too, (though that's unrelated to my post, I made it before I read the article comments) especially those on the first one:
Regarding article comments - I read a few pages, it amused me in a cynical way that people couldn't fathom the slightest reason a dog might get shot. Nevermind dogs are sometimes even
kept solely so they'll defend a premise. But no, the poor, poor dog, what could it possibly have done wrong? And instead, the evil, evil policemen, there is obviously no reason this could have been an unfortunate accident.
