If they are attacking people or livestock, they need to get dead pretty quickly.

We also have a pretty serious rabies problem here in the U.S.

My issue is pet dogs, taken off their leashes on the trails at French Creek. The kids and I have had everything from poodles, to pit bulls and great danes running up on us out in the woods there. I don't know if they want to bite me or sniff my crotch, but I'm not cool with any of it.
I don't want to hurt the dogs, its the asshole owners fault... but it really pisses me off.

i think you'd be perfectly justified in spraying the dog, BUT expect problems. if you don't incapacitate the dog you now have a very pissed off animal. and i'm sure there are jackasses that would sue because poor Fifi wasn't treated with the proper respect that all living creatures *blahblahblah*

That I have little issue with. It was just the idea that dogs merely running about unattended get shot that I had a problem with. I am a dog-lover but even I can see that protection of human life and well being must take precedence over that of a dog. That said, if anybody hurt my dog, I'd hunt them down and tear them limb from limb :P

There are now dog parks specifically for letting your dog off lead and to romp around with other dogs.

You brought it up, I answered your question. Did you have a point?

For some reason, I remember a small line from a book, that I think was in Serpico by Peter Maas.

One of the characters is discussing a police exam and why a particularly stupid officer didn't pass ...

Q: What is rabies and what would you do for it?

A: Rabies is Jewish Priests and I'd do pretty much anything for them because they're usually good people.

Or something like that.

Well that just SUCKS !!!!

Crap.

OK, what do we know?
Evidently the kid was actually using the computer legally but didn't have his papers in order so they were following procedure when they asked (told) him to leave.
He didn't respond quickly enough for them because he either copped an attitude, was in the middle of a download or was trying to finish a paper due in the morning....... or a combination.

If he copped an attitude, it was because he was an ass or because the campus cops are bullys....likely both.

My personal experience with "enforcement" is the more power the officer has, the less they abuse people. More professional, if you will. The State Police give, nor take, any bullshit, the locals are more prone to being pushy or bullying, and rent-a-cops are complete dicks.

The Patriot act doesn't change that, except to add more people with a little power to the mix, like airport/railroad screeners. Giving them tasers just makes their ongoing abuse more visible.

As much as the fault is with the offending individual, the example they are following comes from the top.

For what it's worth, when someone in a position of authority tells me to do something, I do it. There's always time later to sort things out.

This is a no-win situation for the cops. If they let this guy be, and he ends up raping, robbing, or hurting someone, then the cops fucked up. If they enforce the rules, and ensure that he leaves, then the cops fucked up.
