        I don’t understand how you could read the article and then think your comment was relevant

          Look, LAPD officers can still be fans of the basketball teams from the city in which they live? Are we saying they cant? The Utah jazz and phoenix suns are lovely teams. Its fine if they can’t, but as far as I’m aware; they are allowed.

          And sports fans can get extremely violent after a rival team wins a game. It happens, and its a risk/cost we just accept as a society. The dog was wearing a Knicks jersey. Maybe if they didn’t want their dog shot, they shouldn’t have dressed her like that.

          So it’s possible this wasn’t police violence, but non-police violence coming from a source that happened to ALSO be police.
