A sheriff's deputy shot a bull terrier puppy to death when the dog rushed out of a front door and barked during a probation search on Thursday in Boulder Creek, authorities said.
About 11:30 a.m. in the 200 block of Anchor Court, two deputies knocked on the door of 48-year-old Lonni Locatelli, who was on probation for a meth-related conviction, said Sgt. Dan Campos. Loud knocking alerted Locatelli's two dogs, a 12-pound, 5-month-old female bull terrier named Sheeba and a 2-year-old pit bull mix, Locatelli said.
The dogs barked. Locatelli was in the shower, and he heard the knocking and barking and answered the door.
As he opened the door, the dogs ran to a waist-high retaining wall above the walkway, Locatelli said. One of the deputies reached for his pepper spray and fired it at Sheeba, said Sgt. Dan Campos.
The deputy then pulled out a gun and shot the dog once, Campos said. The deputy prepared to shoot the other dog, but his partner told him to stop, Locatelli said.
"She was just barking, she never hurt anybody," Locatelli said. "I couldn't even believe it."

We have 4 dogs and they are all very dear to us. I have [security dog] signs outside to ward off burglars. The signs are a bald faced lie! I worry if we had any kind of emergency that would bring the police.
The only danger a stranger would be in is if they had a sandwich in their pocket. Of course they might get licked to death.
Where’s Al Noren now??
Or Walt Symons and Ray Belgard.
LOL!!
great post..
dogs are still THE best warning device for intruders...Unless the burgler is a Meth Head, most criminals don’t want to take a chance with the dog.
“He quoted the constitution to us. We felt threatened.”
Theuy wouldn’t know what you were saying if you quoted the constitution. They’ve never read it. I can just about guarantee that.
dogs are still THE best warning device for intruders...
In light of the outbreak of trigger happy caniphobic LEOs, perhaps the old G³ might prevail: Gravel, Geese and Gunnery
most criminals don’t want to take a chance with the dog.
I have long observed that LEOs don't compete with criminals, they complement criminal gangs by harassing citizen, shaking down the public through victimless "code enforcement", and in this case, disarming potential vics to help create a safer work environment for the crims.
Working in concert, it makes for a more holistic approach to pillaging and terrorizing the public.
Psychological Testing...such as the MMPI test...reveals that criminals and police have the same pattern.
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I just may give it another go : )
May God bless.

They would if you prefaced your statement with any variation of “The ‘X’ amendment of the Constitution says....”
Good question. Last of the “peace officers”.
>>> How much longer before reports of conservative patriots being shot by police are as common as reports of dogs being shot by police?
“She had a concealed carry permit. We felt threatened.”
“He quoted the constitution to us. We felt threatened.”

Funny you should mention it.
From a 14 April thread, an article about a certain FL sheriff threatening to shoot citizens who carry openly & lawfully, provided legislators make it so:

and posted on 23 March, nighttime “dynamic entry” of a family-occupied residence by SORT team justified by LEOs’ assumptions about the mother & father having concealed carry permits:

Unfortunately there is a hateful clique of JBT-worshippers here at FR who will post that these imbeciles with badges had every right to do what they did.
People that are that afraid of dogs and gutless should find another line of work.
Any lousy cop that harms my dog will rue the day he was born.
One of the JBT-boot-lickers decides to put his mindless two-cents in, I see.
A 12 pound, 5 month old puppy of any sort behind a wall would threaten no one but a person suffering from cynophobia.
I submit that a cynophobic person has no business being an LEO.
Like I posted earlier.
If they’re afraid of dogs, they should try another line of work.
Preferably one that has them saying “Welcome to Wal-Mart”, or “Do you want fries with that?”
That’s all these morons are qualified for.
Good luck. It’s easy to remember — just say: image source equals quote, source code, end quote and then enclose all with “carrots” < >
You’ll get the hang of it in no time, and then you’ll be having fun.
Lowering the bar on the value of life, means lowering bar on the value of YOUR Life, Think about it.
Wait until they start ‘Feeling Threatened’ by 2-legged members of the public and get trigger happy.
no dogs, guns or drums for negroes. that’s the way it
was once upon a time.
True...never understood that perspective...What is JBT?
I am text challenged.
JBT = Jack-Booted Thug
