CLEVELAND— A Cleveland police officer fatally shot a dog Thursday after the animal allegedly attacked him, Fox 8 News reports.
According to Stephen Loomis, President of the Cleveland Patromen's Association, it happened just before 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of West 48th Street.
Officers responded to a residence in that area for a domestic violence incident. While searching for the suspect, two officers entered the backyard through a fence -- unaware that two dogs were on the property.
"The dogs were sleeping when [the officers] went into the yard, and [the dogs] woke up when [the officers] were several feet into yard," Loomis said.

“The question is why these cops didn’t just go to the front door and knock.”
That’s the question I have as well. Honest cops (and non-cop civilians) will go to the front door, knock, and show their warrant/state their business.

Sadly, it is becoming a real and clear pattern. Even more tragically, it is still being defended.
However, they were trespassing on the dog owner’s property as there were no exigent circumstances present when they entered.
I believe the golden lab is featured in a related story.
The “golden lab”’s name is Callaway. Not the same dog.

How can you be hating on the cops so much as to be spiteful of a happy puppy story?
I was testing your reaction since you posted two items, one after the other, of the police shooting dogs.
Your response is exactly what I expected from someone with an agenda against the police.
Do you even read the items that you post on FR?
From the article: "Officers responded to a residence in that area for a domestic violence incident. While searching for the suspect,..."
The police had a suspicion and acted on it. You might want to learn basic law 101 before making silly comments. The police are authorized to act on suspicion.
These are the last 5 threads you been posting in:

Do you know there is a far Leftist President hell bent on destroying the country?
They were looking for dogs to kill.
I have to pipe up here and say, there is no such thing as a golden lab (unless you breed a golden retriever and a labrador retriever and have a mixed breed you could call a golden lab if you wanted to, altho it would simply be a golden retriever/labrador retriever mix). I simply say this because so many people ask me if my golden retrievers are golden labs and this is an opportunity to say that no, there is no such thing. :) Labradors come in yellow and black and chocolate. Labs and goldens are entirely different breeds, and if you get one thinking you are getting the same dog with a different coat you will be disappointed. They were bred for somewhat different things and have quite different temperaments. Both breeds have their avid fans. :)
You (Ken H) may well know this, but much of the public does not, so I apologize, but I just had to say it. :) Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
Must have improved a LOT in the last 15 yrs since I was on the west side. My wife had an uncle that lived close to there.
What relevance do my posting preferences have to do with the topic at hand?
Are you so incapable of defending two cops intruding on private property that you find it necessary to attack a fellow Freeper?
They are authorized to be another citizen’s on private property in hot pursuit of a suspect. *Searching* does not de facto give them license to be on someone else’s private property.
In any case, the behavior of the dogs makes it clear that the suspect was not on the premises, in which case, the search should have been moved elsewhere.
THAT is an excellent list of philosophical points. I hadn’t seen it before. Thanks for (re)posting it.
Would someone with an agenda against the police point out their failure to violate their own profession’s principles?
Is it anti-physician to note when a doctor fails to abide by the Hippocratic oath?
You never answered my question.
Observing the actions of the police in the article, can you truthfully say that none of these nine principles were ignored or violated?
****
1) The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.
2) The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon the public approval of police actions.
3) Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observation of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.
4) The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.
5) Police seek and preserve public favor not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.
6) Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient.
7) Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
8) Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions, and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.
9) The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.

Your response is not really a good defense of the cop hating mentality is it?
It is just interesting that you post two items of police shooting a dog, one after the other.
That means you are searching “police shoot dog” so you can gin up some hate against the police on FR.
You expect you are not going to be challenged about that?
If pets are your interest, then why not post a positive story of the police saving a dog.
I could do it. Why can’t you?
The Drive-by Media Hit is typically confusing.
The whole story is presented about the dog but if you watch the video, it was the dog owner’s own relative who called for the police about a “violent domestic incident”. So the police had a duty to investigate that yard, which must have been pointed to them. Why weren’t they told about the dogs?
This is so typical of the Drive-by Media who are SUPPOSED to report the facts to us, but they very seldom do when there are hyping an agenda.
