DES MOINES, WA -- In November police officers tased, then shot and killed a 120-pound Newfoundland named Rosie.
The shooting sparked both a community vigil for the dog and an independent review of the officers' actions.
Although initiall reports were that the dog was acting aggressively when she escaped from her fenced yard and was spotted roaming neighborhood streets, video taken from the patrol car dash-cams may cast the shooting in a different light.
Warning: Videos contain graphic sounds and language.
The videos, released by Des Moines Police show the dog being tazed by an officer, then running away. In another video you hear an officer fire his gun, presumably hitting the dog, then another officer saying "Nice".

Assuming lousy shooting by the cop notwithstanding...
All I’m saying is at least the cop made dead sure the dog was dead.
None of which would have happened if the dog had been in its fenced in yard.
Osifer Jack Boots needed four shots with a .223 rifle to kill a don lying on the ground?
What can we determine from the above statement of the true fact of the shooting of the dog?
1. Ossifer Jack Boots can’t humanely kill an animal. Even a law enforcement person should be able to manage to shoot a non-moving dog in the brain when shooting under the conditions described in the Des Moines Police report.
2. Ossifer jack Boots should be charged with animal cruelty due to his needing four shots to kill the dog.
3. The entire killing process was a prolonged and unnecessary infliction of pain on an animal that was lying down when it was shot.
I’d like to not hear any more whines from the AR-15 bunch about the effectiveness of the .223 round, the one otherwise known as “the mouse gun round”. If it can’t kill a sleeping dog, what good will it do when used to defend against a drugged and armed attacker?
So we know you have a lot in common with they guy in Tuscon. Get help!
We have a police state now. This is just practice.
Yep...in a very cruel and inhumane fashion, the officer ensured the death of the dog.
Good on him....eh?
First and most importantly, the dog should not have been running loose. That being said...
Why tase a dog? If it’s a threat, shoot it; if it’s not, then leave the damn thing alone.
Why would you shoot an animal lying on the ground (presumably point-blank) with a RIFLE? And yet not shoot it in the head to quickly end it’s life? Why fire four times into it’s belly??
Why?
Before you continue to defend bad cops, you especially need to see the 24 min 18 sec video.
There are plenty of reasonable alternatives to the situation that did not involve FOUR shots to a dog lying down on the ground. Bad aim + Bad shooting + bad cops = Do not defend.
That picture ain’t “rosy”.
DId you bother to hear how vicous the dog sounded? 4 cops wasting their time on a vicious dog knowing that no matter what they have to do dog lovers will complain.
PS: I have two dogs. If my dog was going nuts and posing a danger to kids I would want a cop to take him out to.
You know nothing about me. Nothing at all.

S.S.S. The last S is the most important one.
You are either a cop, or a dog hater, or both.
“Law enforcement” has outlived its usefulness.
**You are either a cop, or a dog hater, or both.**
I agree.
AR-15s come in a lot more calibers then .223.
Almost word for word what I was going to write once I finished reading all the posts.
**“Law enforcement” has outlived its usefulness.**
Yes “law enforcement” is good for 2 things: infringing on our constitutional rights, and killing pets.
So, if any animal is roaming the neighborhood, regardless of it’s demeanor or behavior, it’s open season.
Fire at will in a residential neighborhood.
No judgement required. Just abject, sadistic bloodlust.
Just react like a stinkin’ neanderthal.
Got it.
You continue to make faulty assumptions. We don’t know how the dog got out. What we do know is that the police demonstrated quite clearly that they were not interested in “serving” the public.

Nearly every pet owner has to deal with escapes from time to time, it's one of the many problems pet owners have.
BUT, you would have every pet not in a fenced yard shot on sight, regardless if the dog was easily identified by neighbors, or by the required dog tags. Well, that will certainly cut down on the number of pets in the country. What parent wants to come home to crying children every time a pet gets out and is shot for it's transgression?
You surely would make one lousy pet owner, unless it was a 'police dog' you could take to work with you, and let roam at will 'cuz 'he's a cop'.
