[Kita began running toward them and the officers felt forced to protect themselves.]
It's lucky these wimps didn't find the thief they were investigating. They would have crapped in their britches.

Shoot cops that shoot dogs.

However, the Boise Police Department disagrees. In a statement issued Sunday evening by the department Deputy Chief Pete Ritter had this to say. "Officers never want to harm an animal. The dog came upon the officers quickly and they felt it was about to bite them. This is a very dog friendly community. Many officers have dogs. We work with dogs. Dogs running loose are a safety risk, for people and for the dogs. This was a very unfortunate situation for everyone involved."
In other words, this is the way it is. If the peasants don't like it, too bad. hell with them. What can they do about it?

Someone isn’t telling the truth. If the officer did indeed shoot the dog in the back of the head, he probably wasn’t about to get bitten.

It might have jumped up on them and licked them.

However, as two Boise patrol officers were investigating
a theft that was reported in the area of Woodlawn and 28th
Sunday afternoon they felt threatened by Kita.
they were out for target practice (apparently)...

>>well as long as he went home safe
I hope his kids didn’t startle him when he got home. Those high-strung cops seem to shoot anything that moves these days (for officer safety, of course).

Maybe cops should be better trained to think a bit more first.

Don’t forget the kid the other day in California and the former Marine in Arizona, I believe it was. The old man in Texas. The difference is these were human lives that were taken.

These cops are going to run up on somebody one day that is not so understanding about killing their dog.

Cops should have to eat their kills.
And their own testicles....

I say jack-booted thugs. I noticed it over ten years ago, before I left the USSA.
Even in small bedroom communities and towns, thugs were being hired to be cops. I think they are watching too many movies that now show most cops with big guns and dressed in riot gear.

Right. That’s why they shoot anything that moves. Kids, elderly, baby deer in a backyard, squirrel in a retail store, whatever they can get away with. The problem is these thugs get away with it. Filth. Flame on bootlickers.

This country needs smarter, less peckerheaded cops.

When I was a child I was taught to trust a policeman. Now I tell my son to stay away from the police. That's just sad that we have become this.

They need more lawsuits or video evidence or something, I’m not holding out for clever. Hopefully this family will be outraged enough to act on it.

“US cops sometimes rob people on the street.”
I hate that sort of thing. It is devastating to a civil society.
Small consolation, but it is declining as more people wear recording devices.
One of the most important decisions of the Courts will be to confirm that it is a first amendment right to record police in the performance of their public duties.

" Bruneio, the Freemansburg chief, said Lasso was trying to fend off the two snarling dogs, kicking at them while holding a Taser straight in the air in his left hand.
"Shoot 'em," Bruneio yelled before a shot rang out and Lasso fell to the ground."
