ARLINGTON, Texas - A dog owner claims an Arlington police officer overreacted and shot his dog five times as his children watched.

Buck Yandle said two police officers and an animal control officer showed up at his home on Lake Jackson Drive last week. They were there about his dog Bucky, a basset hound and Rottweiler mix.

Neighbors said Bucky nipped a boy in the back after school. The dog never bit him, but it was enough to scare the 10-year-old.

Yandle stepped outside to meet with the officers. He said he closed the door and left his four children inside the house with Bucky. But the dog ran out because his 3-year-old son opened the door.

Bucky got agitated as police were talking to Yandle. Although he insists the dog did not lunge at or attack any of the officers, one of the officers shot and killed him.

You still don’t need to shoot it!

When those stories appear, they get our fullest sympathy.

These cops shooting these dogs are simply trigger happy and have no regard for someone elses property.

I've met some very nice rottweilers. They were big cuddly babies. While breeding has a lot to do with temperament, environment plays a very big part. The meanest dogs always seem to be the small ones. If a dog nips a person, it is usually giving a warning.

When I was growing up, people seemed more savvy about dogs. If I complained about a dog biting me, the 1st question out of an adults mouth would be, "What did you do?"

Begin bacon and bone reparations immediately to atone for your politically-incorrect sins!

Exactly.

Or if a child complained that John Doe’s dog attacked him while the child was on the Mr. Doe’s property, the first question out of Mom and Dad’s mouth would be, “What were you doing on Mr. John Doe’s property in the first place?”

Yes, it is cowardly to shoot a man's property in an attempt to intimidate him and his neighbors (and get in some target practice). I'm glad you recognize that. Which of Robert Peel's principles does shooting housedogs fall under?

You know it's getting to be an epidemic when I have to dedicate a specific graphic to something.

I said what I had to say and I meant it. You’re unworthy of any further waste of time.

You may go now.

Uh...being a dog makes strange bedfellows, I guess?

Thank you for confirming you are unable to identify a single Peelian principle underwhich “shooting housedogs” applies.

The poor man would probably have grieved to see what became of the modern police force. Perhaps he never would have argued for their establishment in the first place if he knew what they would become.

I regret your choice, but I trust you will have a pleasant Saturday anyway.

Lots of cop haters on FR,which surprised me when I first came across it.

Cops = Government
You don't want any more policing than absolutely necessary...
Except for the nanny-statists.

If the kid wasn't hurt, there was no need for manly grownups to call cops into it in the first place.
