Here's a simple formulation for you: police officers who kill dogs with little or no provocation are no different than the Waffen SS officer candidates at Bad Toelz in Germany who strangled their own dogs on command as part of their graduation requirements.
JD at Disloyal Opposition chronicles what is beginning to appear as a nationwide police war on dogs:
In Park Forest, Illinois, police investigating a burglary entered the yard of the Walker family with a police dog in tow. Princess, the Walker's German shepherd-pit bull mix, apparently smelled the police canine on the other side of the door and scratched to be let out.

One of the officers promptly shot the dog with his service revolver.
