Some idiot shows up at my house “by mistake” and shoots my dog . . .
Don’t these cops have pepper spray?
I have used it before and it is unbelievably effective. I would guess even more effective than shooting them in the short time.
I wonder what would happen - as a private citizen knowing you’ve done nothign wrong - and someone shows up and starts breaking your door down shouting “police” - and you are yourself and defend yourself on hat you think are actual criminals saying “police” just to get in...like a fake raid...but the home owner not believing it’s the REAL POLICE - start firing and shooting actual officers...what would happen???
understand - I’m prior law enforcement - and this very incident is something we went over in training and out in the field - NOT to get the wrong house!
Justice would permit the owner to shoot, but not kill, the officer. Just one shot, though.
Is it me, or is the “cops kill dog” story becoming a daily occurence?
and yet another doughnut muncher earns their dog shooter merit badge...

Cops screw up. Cops lie about it, and cops love to shoot dogs. The best thing to do is take away their guns.
Well, the good news is that no Nazis died in this botched attempt at keeping the population under control. And, they don’t care about what happens next time because they are being protected by local government, the courts, the unions, the prosecutors, and their fellow law enforcement officers.
What happens when good people go bad.
Happens way to often to be considered accidental, nowadays.
Just my personal opinion and observation.
I don't have any factual, government provided statistics to back that up. Just a pervasive “intuition” that something is horribly wrong.
I wonder if this is how the people in Russia, China and Germany felt,several decades ago.
If only these dog owners could sue the pants off the city every time this happened, maybe this carp would stop.

Holly Hill Police shoot dog while serving warrant to wrong house
HOLLY HILL, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -
A dog owner is demanding a Holly Hill police officer's badge, after that officer shot his dog while serving a warrant to the wrong house.
"She was shot in the face and the neck and her side right here," Richard Stotler told FOX 35.
Lady was shot late Friday night in the backyard of Stotler's home. According to a statement by Holly Hill Police, officers came to the Elsie Avenue house to serve a woman with a warrant for prostitution charges.
The problem is; the woman doesn't live there anymore. Stotler moved in after her, and said he has no idea who the woman is.
He added when he told police, they didn't listen; going through the gate around the back of the house, where they found Lady and Stotler's other dog.
Police said Lady was "aggressively lunging" at the officer when he opened fire, something Stotler finds hard to believe.
"She's a big baby," he said, "She's a big teddy bear, she sleeps with me every night, she's just a big baby, everybody loves her."
Lady is on three different pain medications, with part of a bullet still lodged in her ear canal, and other wounds Stotler isn't sure will heal.
"She's just traumatized. She won't even come outside at night anymore at all." He told Fox 35, when the police realized their mistake, they offered to foot the vet bill. He wants the officer fired.
"This is something that should have been avoided. It should have never happened."
Holly Hill Police said they are still investigating what happened, and haven't released the officer's name or whether he will face any disciplinary action. Stotler has contacted various animal rights groups about the shooting.
He also started a Facebook page called Justice for Lady. Supporters are planning a protest at city hall on New Year's Day calling for action.
Wow, so the shooter remains anonymous. They get to hide behind the badge. Just show up start shooting and get away with it ?
