To some extent, you hear this because Radley Balko is the major voice in America talking about SWAT raids gone wrong, and Balko is a dog-lover who is, like you, outraged by dog-shootings.
- AnthonyMouse 13y agoIt would be a lot harder for Balko to cite so many instances of it happening if there weren't so many instances of it happening.
- aetherson 13y agoTotally. I'm not arguing that it doesn't happen, and happen with considerable frequency. I'm saying that when the parent poster suggests that he sees it basically every time, that's because Balko is an incredibly dominant presence in this area of reporting, and he highlights cases that involve dogs being shot. I don't regard this as a problem, and I think that Balko is invaluable. I do wish that more reporters would take up this issue.
