Another one of too many instances where the jackboot kills an innocent animal. It’s about time to start evening the score. I’m sick of this LEO attitude that “we can do whatever we want”.

You’re right about the BT’s. They don’t tend to be territorial like other breeds. They’ll generally welcome you. If you were to actually attack their owner, you’d want to watch out, but short of that, they pretty much just want to be your buddy.

Apparently it’s from “Shooter”, a movie released in 2007.

Shoot a cop for shooting a dog? Thats crazy, and you know it. No animal, however beloved, is worth a human life under any circumstances.

I accept the invitation. ;)

Seriously though, if the dog was attacking him, then he had to gun it down. Officers fulfilling their duties may on occasion need to approach a private property, and if attacked by a resident critter, what can he do?

I( believe the currecnt "ooficers" are being taught in training and by their buddies to NEVER BACK DOWN,NEVER RETREAT.There are plenty of situations that could be solved without violence but the cop too often arrives and immediately TAKES CHARGE without regard to what is going on.

It is all about egos and control ,and people feeling all puffed up with their authority.

You would think the Soviet police state would be an object lesson in how not to run a nation but too many socialists are determined to impose their control regardless.

Wasn’t the cop chasing a teenager with a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest?

I mentioned this story to a friend of mine and he didn’t have a problem with the cop shooting the dog. He said the cops life is worth more than the dogs (as if the dog would kill the cop). When I told him the dog was only doing his job in his own yard, he didn’t care. Some people can justify anything.

I can tell you this... if a cop was shooting my dogs in their kennel because the cop was chasing a bad guy, I’m not going to wait for anybody to identify themselves, for that could get me killed as well.

The police are out of control and wrong about this.

What flavor boot-polish do you prefer—brown or black?

No, he did not “have” to gun it down. He had several options:

1) Leave the premises and return when the dog’s owner was home, since his claimed objective was to talk to the dog’s owner.

2) Return to his car and call animal control for assistance.

3) Return on the date when he and the owner had previously agreed that they would meet, which would have been today.

Police used to get their job done WITHOUT needlessly shooting dogs. Since they have demonstrated that they are capable of doing so, it is the job of the conservative to hold them to that standard.

Cops in general have greatly earned the disdain and disgust most of the public feel towards most of them.

Protect and serve my ass. More like buLly, badger, and blame.
