How am I supposed to ping you if you keep beating me to the punch?

Sorry for the extraneous ping.

My default support for cops is OVER.

I'm with you.

Let me start by stating that in my business I worked with many police and sheriff’s departments in two states.

Before leaving the USSA, I saw a distinct pattern of cops
morphing from “good old boys/girls”, to jack booted thugs.

This episode is quite similar to the thug cop that blew away the poor deaf man.

And how is a chained dog a danger to a person standing 30 feet away? Particularly an armed person?

We’re not talking about a dog in midair, jaws about to close on the throat of an officer. We’re talking about a dog that had no ability to retreat or avoid the officer, and an officer that had the ability to avoid and ignore the dog.

What can you really say about this, neighbors yard, chained, 5 shots and in front of the owner. This is just plain wrong, but in a world where humans butcher each other for much less cause, it is not surprising. I don’t care what the officer’s reasoning was it shouldn’t of happened.

I’m with ya. Be hard not to do something if they came in MY YARD and shot my dog. No, I wouldn’t, but only out of extreme self control.

So a dog runs and jumps on you and attacks you while you are picnicking outdoors. You pick up a steak knife and stab it to death. Then you find out it was a police Dog.

Murder one.

How is that for hypocritical.

If they can kill yours then you should be able kill theirs when you feel threatened.

Time all cities have independent citizen review boards to judge these out of control gestapo types. It is a foregone conclusion that the pigs have each other’s backs, regardless of how egregious the offense. We see this every day. I’m with the poster earlier. I don’t (and haven’t in years) felt the cop was always in the right. My family had a donut shop in the 60’s/70’s. This “cop attitude” is nothing new. We got to know a lot of very arrogant bullies. One wanted some kid to run so he could shoot him! This was in Amarillo in the mid 60’s.

At the very minimum, this police officer should lose her job. I'd hope the owner files a civil suit.

If the story turns out to be true in that the dog was chained and 30 feet away, then this woman does not have the judgment to be a police officer. If true I'd hate to see what this woman might do in another situation which requires good judgment.

BTW, I do question the accuracy of anyone who would chain a dog. To me this is animal cruelty in the great majority of situations. I'll wait for the investigation and the facts to pass judgment.

“They just followed their own internal policies and procedures.”

I have my internal policies on those who would harm my family, too.

You know, what happens eventually in a really “bad neighborhood” is that the residents shoot first at the police because they figure that they themselves are dead already.

Agreed. Chaining is cruel and many states have laws against endless chaining of a dog. They are social animals. Having said that, a chained dog is no threat to anyone. The dog was not loose. These stories are beginning to sound as if any dog on the premises is in danger (inside or outside the house) if the cops come calling. Needs to stop and citizens need to demand a better protocol.

And on other days, they just shoot dogs.

Bravo. That adrenaline rush is just too much for them at times apparently and dogs come in handy for releasing some machismo.

If this doesn’t get under control, I think a lot of people are going to start following the “G. Gordon Liddy” protocol.

I plead ignorance. What is the “G. GordonLiddy” protocol?
