The officer released the K-9 in pursuit...

The dog was relatively new to the force.

Nevermind.....

Trigger group, barrel, bolt, firing pin. I suppose.

It means, "This reporter would love to say that the firearm involved was an AR-15, but sadly it wasn't."

I know without a doubt that if the police had found the gun who shot the dog he would be dead
and I would nominate them for medals

Too bad that dog was not wearing a bullet proof vest, I hope someone in Portland donates enough for the rest of the dogs
Class C felony? It was murder

No. someone just shot a dog.

Now, in hippy treehugger circles a dog is a canary is a monkey is a boy, all are equivalent. Kumbaya.

But in sane circles humans are different and special. Created in the image of God.

You can't advocate for any of that murder crap without the animals are equal to humans crap from which it comes.

The officer wounded is sad.

The dog is of no more import than a police cruiser hitting a tree.

Earlier, officers were investigating a burglary at a uniform supply store that sold police equipment, where a vehicle was located with three suspects inside. Reese said officers saw three people coming from a uniform shop.

Must have been shopping for no-knock raid outfits. Almost as if thugs these days gotta dress like cops in order to instill fear, panic, and a sense of abject helplessness into their victims. :-\

I take one of those in the upper-right, just in case I find some potential avalanches to shoot down.

Never mind the loss of a life, the dog may well have “cost” more than a police car in training, and so on.

There are two basic kinds of people in this world; those who respect life, and those who do not.

“The dog’s name won’t be released until the officer’s family has been notified. “

Huh?

Maybe it is one of those new Pumpers, made in the AR-15 style.

I hate to have to break some news to you that goes against every value that hippies hold dear but: It is not reality that one must value a dogs life the same as a human or one does not respect life at all.

According to the hippified Antiyuppie, ranchers and farmers must be awful people because they kill animals, and hunters must be the scum of all scum. That thinking is foolishness.

It is not a cause for celebration that some police mutt was shot, but it is not anywhere near “Murder” as another hippy poster pontificated. Dogs are not of the same value as humans

If departments put in even minimal effort into training their mutts to reduce the strength of their bite on a non resisting subject their might conceivably be more sympathy when departments lose a mere animal. But law enforcement doesn't put that training in, and too often the critters zero in on an innocent party.

So in a way you are right. I shouldn't have compared the loss of the mutt to the loss of a police cruiser. I should have compared the loss of the dog to the loss of an unreliable rebuilt police cruiser.
