All dogs should be eliminated.

If you watch the video with this story, you will see that is the "yard" of a single wide mobile home. The neighborhood seems to be a neighborhood of these (looks relatively new).

If you watch the one video, watch the recommended one after that on protocol for "vicious" dogs taken from state recommendations. Nothing like what was done to this poor family and their dog.

He would have had to shoot me.

...and I am not just saying that as a kneejerk reaction.

He would have had to shoot me.

No way in hell I would stand my dog up and watch someone shot it. No way.

He would have had to shoot me.

It doesn’t help that the article reads as if it were written by a fifth grader.

Fifth grader? I was thinking third, at most.

Wouldn't have happened at my house.

A very polite "may I see the warrant officer?" would most likely have defused the situation.

Now had the officer tried to enter my home.....

What kind of a wimp lets a deputy take his dog and shoot it without seeing a warrent or order from a court? What kind of wimp hides with his wife after the cop drives off?(the wimps own words, he hid). Better show me some papers or you call a supervisor.

You’re right.

The dog would have been taken into custody and quarantined. An investigation would have showed the dog to be a vicious threat. (if that was the case) Then the dog would have been destroyed humanely.

Thats due process. this doesn’t make sense. Not the officer’s actions or the owner’s actions. None of it makes sense.

To many strange things in this story:
The deputy shows up with no warrant or paper work?
The family gives the dog to the deputy?
The deputy ties the dog to a pole?
The deputy shoots the dog three times and leaves?
The family goes inside and leaves the dog tied to the pole?
The family leaves the dog where it was shot?
The dog revives, unties himself, and is running around when the family comes home?

I hope someone who knows more about this provides more details. The article posted here isn't very informative.

Let’s see......”officer entering home”

My grandmother swears that the people across the street from her are drug dealers. “But they are always quiet and never give any trouble”

Of course they are quiet! They are drug dealers. They don’t want the cops to have any reason to have to show up at their house. They are model neighbors.

Maybe the people in this story just wanted the cop to leave.........

I’’m afraid I couldn’t control myself either. Even if it cost me my life, either then or later.There has to be a line in the sand. How in the hell do these kind of people get jobs in law enforcement anyway?

Did that deputy use to work for the BATF? Sounds like how they opened their Ruby Ridge and Waco offensives!

Have you watched the video? Take a look, and you might get some idea why they stupidly cooperated with this heinous act, and then later hid.

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/8356.html

It may very well explain why this thug with a badge thought he could do such a thing with impunity, too.

So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Barbosas are not here legally.

That’s absolutely freaking brilliant. Because the people in the story are afraid of an out of control pig that just shot their dog you think that they’re drug dealers?!?

“...the deputy pulled out a rifle from his car”

Why in the world would the Deputy use a RIFLE!?

Using a high velocity, high power rifle to do this is incredibly stupid as the rounds will almost assuredly go through the animal and travel to only God knows where.

If this story is true then the Deputy needs to be fired just for endangering others by his incredible stupidity.

The video shows the post out in an open, flat area. The rifle round had no certain backstop. That was incredibly stupid and careless. Aside from the mobile homes in the area, there was a bus load of kids observing the shooting. Lots of opportunity for a round to go astray.

Sure - and then we'd be watching a video of you getting tazed...
