I knew it! I just knew it. The 'attack' on the woman was an attack on her dog and she suffered a minor leg injury during the confrontation (no details given) which did not require hospital treatment. She phoned the police and they came out all guns blazing. Now that we have the context of the alleged 'attack' on a woman, it can be seen that the police response was unreasonable and totally disproportionate. They provoked the situation where they felt 'threatened' by the man's dogs and then they slaughtered them in front of horrified onlookers. Will they be held accountable? Like fuck. They'll probably get away with it. Remember this if you have dogs and they get into a fight with another dog. There is the potential that the police will be called and they may shoot your dogs in cold blood, right there on the street, as well as taser you for protesting.

"The charges follow a call to police just after 5pm on Sunday to reports of a woman being attacked by a dog on Commercial Road in east London.

The woman said two dogs had attacked her dog.

She also suffered a leg injury during the attack but did not require hospital treatment.

Both dogs were destroyed by police at the scene and their owner was arrested before being taken into custody and later charged."

There are still no details on the supposed 'horrific mauling' of a woman in Commercial Street nearby which sparked this incident. I find that odd, especially as papers reporting this 'mauling' of a woman also point out that nobody was taken to hospital. How do you get 'horrifically mauled' by a dog and not need hospital treatment? Point of fact, how do you endure even just a bog standard mauling and still not need hospital treatment? Something's not right.

I agree with your sentiments completely..."The killings were cold blooded and unnecessary."

Hopefully none of those brave police officers chipped their nail varnish.

SIX cops bearing down on a homeless man shouting at him and his dogs, that he is holding back. The cops there have no training on dealing with apparently homeless Englishmen and their pets!? Meanwhile, English citizens are being harassed, assaulted and subjected to the violence of unvetted, uncorralled and lawless Muslim male invaders and the cops do little to nothing to stop it.

Maybe the cops were Muslim. To them, dogs are unclean, horrible animals.

No, I think they were native English cops: to many of them, the homeless are unclean, horrible animals, and it looks like this man might have been homeless.

It was a sad mistake. They really meant to taser the dogs and shoot the owner.

They might as well have shot him by the sounds of it. I think the man may have been homeless and the dogs were his only two companions. But we really need more info on the alleged attack on a woman which took place beforehand. That will provide vital context. It doesn't seem to be available at the moment.

It’s a sad commentary. In some respects, and I never thought I might hear myself say this, I have some sympathy for “defund the police”. I always thought that would give free rein to the criminals, but maybe that’s the lesser of two evils if the police are going to be the paramilitary wing of the deep state — the Tonton Macoute.

The police, especially the Met, are out of control. As we move to an ever increasing police state, and thought crime [such as arresting protestors before they even protest], things will become more frightening/extreme. I think the government ultimately has in mind to recruit Albanians that they shipped in to create a new breed of police who hate the people of this country, and will never side with the people nor turn on the government.

Ironic. It's the police themselves who are 'dangerously out of control'.
