    i don’t know the context of this post but i find the headline to be insulting and the comparison within unacceptable.

    dogs are loyal and innocent creatures. they are famously the species with which ours has bonded closest. why denigrate them woth parallels to pigs such as police officers?

      Pigs are also a bad comparison. The only acceptable comparison is Bulls. Stupid, Impulsive and irrationally angry

        Chimps might be close. Violent, impulsive, monsters prone to rape and ruining the lives of those they hate while being fiercely loyal to their tribe. Unfortunately it has a negative racial connotation and they’re a bit too smart to be compared with cops.

        You’d be impulsive and irrationally angry too if someone kept poking you with swords, and taunting you by waving a cape at you.

            I’d probably be (rightfully) fired or in jail if people needed to poke me with FOIA requests and were taunting me for the way I did my job.

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Let’s be real. They’re humans. No non-human animal is this disgusting. It’s a speciesist distraction from the real evil.
