The most dangerous interactions that we ordinary citizens or our dogs have are those with law enforcement. Incident after similar incident is met here with the 'one bad cop' excuse or the even more crass 'you citizens have to pay us more if you want better cops' extortion.

Nonsense these incidents are too frequent, too similar, and too scattered. The cops perpetrating them range from rookies to decorated veterans, and they come from departments that pay frugally to those in CA that pay very solidly into six figures.
