RE: “Brattleboro citizens decry dog shooting,” May 9:
Police officers nowadays believe they are above the law. They believe that have superhero training and that whatever they say is what the law is.
They need to be accountable for their actions.
If they are that afraid of dogs, then they need to find another profession. They are not experts with handling dogs, so they should have called the experts in to do their job.
As soon as many people hear that a problem dog could be a pit bull, they want to kill it. It's humans who give pits a bad name.
It's the way people raise pit bulls that makes them the way they are. It's not their fault. Stop blaming the breed.
