( Weimaraner dog shot dead in owners back yard by police who were searching for missing three-year-old boy ) A family pet dog was shot dead in his owners back yard by a policeman searching for a missing three-year-old boy. Sean Kendall, 27, met with Salt Lake City police officials this week to discuss the fatal shooting of his two-year-old Weimaraner, Geist. Police were searching for a three-year-old boy named Kelby who had been reported missing - he was eventually found asleep in his own basement.
Police said the officer who was searching in Kendall's yard felt the dog was aggressive and going to attack him, and that's why he shot the animal.
Now Kendal is calling for the officer to be fired from the force, saying he is 'extremely frustrated and upset' at the apparent reluctance of the police to take action against the officer who shot his dog. 'The only thing that I would be satisfied with is having this officer terminated,' said Kendall, reported The Salt Lake Tribune. 'I feel that his judgment was completely inappropriate.'

I spent years reading Water Meters. I never got out of the truck with out a pocket full of Dog Treats. Had a bag in the truck as backups. Never got bit or chased. Show no fear, offer the treat and you’re in, read meter, pass out another treat and move on.
98% of cops ARE STUPID THESE DAYS! AND CHICKEN
$HIT$!!!
And yes it is time to start taking and eye for an eye. Maybe even double up to get caught up number wise.

Ping and Ping for Your graphic please.
Fire the trigger happy thug.
This cop should be terminated and arrested for excessive force and infliction of trauma upon the dog owner's and his family.
If I was the parent I would have searched my own basement before calling the cops. That’s still no excuse for the cops killing someone else’s dog.
Those dogs have a lot of nerve providing security without joining a union.
When I was growing up, we had a good watchdog who would bark up a storm if a stranger whom she didn’t recognize approached the house and no doubt would have attacked him had he entered the yard. So she would have fit the cop’s description as “aggressive.” However, in those days, cops didn’t barge into people’s back yards as they do today.
You probably have no problem that cannot be made worse by calling the police.
Anybody who knows dos knows you don’t go into a strange dog’s yard without the owner’s permission and being introduced to the dog. After all, law abiding people keep dogs for warning and protection because of dogs’ basic territorial nature. Cops also just don’t have any legal right to barge into peoples’ yards, especially when they could ask permission and get it.
... and every dog will have his day...
Huh...I thought that LEOs were taught at the academy that their badge gives them the right to go anywhere they want to for any reason...They sure act that way...
The parakeets had it coming...They were taunting the officers with:
BRAACK, LEO want a donut?
Thank You Sir
RIP Critters, You will someday be Avenged.
On the 4,143 gunfire, how many were “Friendly fire” (which isn’t) ?
Anybody hurts My Girls...
Carrying Mail for 24 years, I’ve been bitten more times than I care to count, and have built up immunities to dog venom. Every dog paid a price, and I’ve killed a red chow attached to my calf...I don’t tolerate an ill behaved animal. Customer said they was gonna “sue yo cracka ass”, and I let them know that my counter suit would give me a rental home, and they would be homeless.
That said, dogs are smart. They instinctively know that animals on two feet can kick their ass, thus, they bow-up. 99.9 percent start raising hell when you approach, and quit after you leave their territory. They’ve done their job, and “chased” you away.
Ma, you’re 100% spot on...”show no fear”, and I would add, show that you are dominate...the aggressor. The Post Office says “ don’t make eye contact, and back away slowly.”, and I say BS...bow-up and make the dog back down, BUT DON’T FRIGGIN SHOOT ‘EM!
Cops are wimps. Weimaraners are as gentle as, and a little dumber than Labradors.
