Don’t cops carry mace anymore?

They now killed a “gay” man’s dog.
Since this is pet of one of the “ruling class”,
there may be some action taken.

[MplsSteve]

Given the way the Minneapolis Police react, I’m surprised that the owner wasn;t also shot because he was deemed a “threat”.

I’m a middle-aged, clean-cut law-abiding white guy and the Minneapolis Police scare me!

[Paine in the Neck]

How come when they shoot at bad guys all they can hit are bystanders but when they shoot at dogs they can make clean head shots?

The dog or his 'partner'?

The decision to shoot, or harm, an animal is not made lightly,

It is a decision not taken lightly. It is a decision not made at all. It is not a decision. It is automatic action dictated by training. See a dog. Shoot the dog.

[ChildOfThe60s]

When my daughter (a serious dog person) was with the police in a major city, she told me that she/they received absolutely no training in dealing with dogs or situations involving dogs. Most of the officers had no clue beyond drawing and shooting a dog.

Human life must come first. But indiscriminately killing domestic animals behind the shield of a uniform is very bad for a number of reasons. But the rabid law and order folks should realize that this is another slippery slope, and left unchecked becomes part of their (LE) thinking process and culture. When a dog’s life becomes that cheap, you’d better believe that carries over to humans.

Culture is determinative - and this dog owner has tattoos, a metal ring through his lower lip, and what appear to be 1/2” I.D. grommets in his ear lobes!

Add to that the well known fact the Cano Corso breed is a guard/fighting dog breed.

Yup, it may well have been a lover, not a fighter, but coming at a run, how could the cop know?

Asking a cop to master both a gun and a pepper spray device is possibly a request too much.

Can’t cause ‘brain strain, Ya knows.

[WayneS]

A clear case of homophobia...

[KeyLargo]

The breed looks like a nice dog.

However, considering that the city has been taken over by dog-hating Muslims there will be little concern over the dog being killed by the police there.

Sharia Submission: Minneapolis Mayor Proudly Wears Hijab When Meeting Somali Muslims

Janna Brock April 10, 2014

Minneapolis is a hub for Somali Muslims, so much so that they have taken to politics to "get a seat at the table." It's not too hard to get in, because the powers that be have already kowtowed to Sharia. Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges took sharia submission a step further, in donning a full hijab when meeting with Somali Muslims.

were they in business together?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

A Cane Corso is similar to a Mastiff, often with black Labrador markings. It is a muscular dog, used both for self defense and hunting. Truthfully, seeing a 120 pound dog like that running at you, and you have a gun, you might get off a shot or two if it is attacking you. If you don’t take the shots, you could be severely injured or killed.

Yes, I like dogs. And I like big dogs. But if you want to keep them alive, they must always be under control. As soon as you lose that control, for whatever reason, their lives can be forfeit.

[Gay State Conservative]

If I was a cop confronted with a dog bigger than a toy poodle coming at me with bared teeth I'd fire...unless doing so might endanger *people*.I,a cop,would rather see a dead dog than an infected dog bite on my leg,arm or anywhere else.

[dennisw]

Aside from the poor dead doggie and the owners affections for it.....

These breeds cost lots of money. Police are destroying expensive private property.

“The decision to shoot, or harm, an animal is not made lightly, but at times must be made immediately. Officers have no way of knowing the history of the animal, or what the animal may do,”

Thats in in a nutshell. When in doubt, they will kill your dog. Simple as that. They got the power.

This has GOT to stop!!!

[Wicket]

Cane coursos (sp?), like Pit Bulls, can be decent dogs in the right hands. That said, a loose 120 lb Cane courso is a rather unnerving sight and poorly trained they can be people aggressive. Hard to blame the cop for this one.
