I'm sick and tired of "having the cops back" on these stories. It's gotten well beyond the point of giving the cops the benefit of the doubt.
This one makes me cry. A tail wagging labrador service dog, really??? I wrote my first nastygram on a dog shooting to the police chief at Filer. Told him he owes the family a big apology and a service dog and I hope he’ll do the right thing.
I watched the video.
It pains me to see a dog shot like this but,
I’m going to have to side with the cop on this one.
Could he have handled differently? Probably.
If he had dog biscuits with him
and tried to calm the dogs rather than kicking at them,
perhaps this would have ended differently.
BUT, the owner appears to be habitually irresponsible.
He does not control his dogs.
I would never let my dogs run loose
because there is the possibility that something like this could happen.
If you care about your dog, contain it.
This owner is ultimately responsible for what happened.
He should not have had a dog.
He was unworthy of it and the dog paid the price.
What the hell.
Hasanni = Pakistan
Tarek Hassani.. People with names like that are well known to detest and fear dogs. If one was such a “fearful of dogs” person, one might shoot a big muscly looking dog like a Black Lab, with very little, if any, provocation.Here's the dash cam video.
Dog was barking at him. He tried to kick the dog, as officer proceeded to the house, he shot the dog. Doesn't look to me like the dog was trying to bite him as he alleges. The other dog was actually in a more "dangerous" position, but it didn't try to bite him either.
This guy should be sued, along with his department. A jury sees that video, and they'll be out a bunch of money.
You never hear stories about letter carriers killing dogs.
It’s only cops.
This is more evidence of what I’ve thought all along. Dogs are the best judges of human character. Sorry this one paid for it with his life.
Muslim cop. Don’t believe a word. He probably kicked the dog because he felt it was “unclean” and when it came back at him, he shot it.
Pig. No Muslim should be in this country, let alone in a police uniform,
Muslims in IDAHO?
Another Muslim acting out his Islamic background - remember that MadMo hated dogs, as do all thieves.
That service dog was kicked within two seconds of the door sound on the audio track from the dash cam.
Mr. Muslim lied about the dog attacking and attacking a second time. The sound track makes that clear and unambiguous.
The Police Chief should be fired and both the Chief and Mr. Muslim sued.
A local jury probably would not like either the Chief’s “Boyz-N-Blue are always tru” attempt, not the Muslim’s shooting of a service animal.
It never fails. He would have said the same thing if it had been the 9 year old boy instead of the dog.
Well I just sent a rather rude email to the Chief.
That dog did not try to bite him, and the fat POS ‘officer’ KICKED the dog!
The dog was on his own property, as well.
Tarek Hassani - the name of the killer, sounds muslim, aye? Maybe he’s just a big, fat pussy.
I sure hope the neighbor bitch is proud of herself.

And no, I do not let my dogs run free, maybe the owner should have kept his dog Hooch inside, but this was over the top, and a lovely dog is dead.
Shame on the wimp.
having watched the entire dash-cam ....and being a total dog lover and dog owner ; this cop was justified in shooting the dog . The dogs were aggressive , and repeatedly challenged the officer . He had no backup and fearing immediate attack , he defended himself . What else could he do ? Cower in the vehicle ? Maybe try and call the house and owner and advise of situation ? Hard hard call . Once he had shot the dog he did a good job of trying to explain to the dog owner what happened , kept control of the situation , calmed the owner and repeatedly apologized for shooting the dog . Very sad . But he was justified , not a thug and not an error . The owner knew the leash law and admitted that he’d violated it . So sad . If anything , the dog owner was to blame .
Sure, why not give a member of a homicidal/suicidal death cult a badge and a gun. What could go wrong?
The cop is a dumbass and should be punished. However, if you don’t want this kind of stuff to happen to your dog/kids/whatever, don’t let them outside unsupervised. Take some responsibility for your property.
I think that every one of these reports where a cop kills a dog the police chief invariably defends the cop with a statement to the effect that the officer was doing his job.
Dogs sense Evil.
