The police don't care very much when they killed Mary Brown's innocent dog. Explain how Mary Brown's dog symbolizes the child the police accidently murder, or possibly all of the citizens of 145th Street.

Mary Brown's dog symbolizes the child in a way the police can get away with the killing even if the child or citizens are innocent.

The police showing no remorse about killing an innocent life of the dog/child demonstrates the corruption of the environment there.
