Thugs with guns. Just another street gang but one I have to support with my tax dollars. Despicable cretins.

The poor girl; I hope her parents will help her during her time of grief.

I generally like to give the cops the benefit of doubt, but in this case, they went into a posted fenced area without a warrant. Had they gotten a warrant, and or had the owners put the dogs up, this wouldn’t have happened.

It’s only a matter of time before a pet owner, wracked with grief, caps a cop for killing his dog. Then the sparks will fly.

Had they not trespassed, this wouldn’t have happened.

This **** has been going on far too long. There are only two ways it will stop. Juries will start finding for plaintiffs, or people are going to start looking for cops when they aren’t wearing blue.

When I hear of that happening I’m going to stand up and cheer.

I’ll wager there are twenty to thirty times more dogs injured by cops than cops injured by dogs. The response by cops is way out of proportion to the threat.

On Dec. 20, 2006, according to the memorandum, O'Hare and Pia walked into the Harris' backyard at 297 Enfield St. without a warrant. How much trouble is it to obtain a search warrant?

Thugs are thugs, badges or not. They need to be put down like the thugs they are. I say shoot the guy just like he shot the dog, and use the “I don’t think he’s going to make it” line before the one into his brain.
People like this are just evil and need to be permanently removed from this earth.

I think one of the worst things that comes from this crap is that it erodes peoples trust in all cops. I wish cops themselves would internally take care of these people in their own self-interest, the way they need to be taken care of, but they don’t.

"According to the document, "O'Hare looked at K.H., then back to the dog, and shot the dog in the head.""
What a mensch.
Clearly the dog was still a serious threat.

If the cop overreacts, as they tend to do, I bet the pet owner beats them in court. Temporary insanity would be the defense, I guess, and with a good lawyer talking to a jury, the party might walk out of the court, a free man or a free woman.

Police reports use language intended to make the citizen look as bad as possible.
I remember my ticket last year for going 34 in a 30 mph zone. The ticket stated that I was “recklessly traveling at a high rate of speed.”
Cops do nothing to prevent crime, absolutely nothing. Their entire purpose is to document a crime after the fact and to collect taxes from the citizenry through speed traps and minor traffic infractions.
