I actually LOL’d. Sorry about that.

[Altariel]

Will it take something like this to end the War on Dogs?

[Fiji Hill]

I hope the dog is OK.

[Salamander]

Is the dog okay?

[Altariel]

AFAIK, the dog is fine.

[Vendome]

LOL, sorry but....

[Salamander]

Good.

[Chode]

since the dog wasn't shot subsequent to the cop getting shot, i guess that's proof it wasn't dangerous in the first place...

“This is not the dog you are attempting to shoot,” said the dog, just before the shot.

WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

Perhaps a theological argument could be made that this occurrence is proof that G*d likes dogs?

Hmmn, if so, then by extension one could say that G*d doesn’t approve of poorly trained,trigger happy, and out of control LEOs.

“I’m lookin’ for the varmint that shot my paw...” said the dog that limped into the bar.

[Chickensoup]

Finally, one for the dogs!

I can’t stop giggling.

Sad situaion, I am sure.

But all the dogs are wagging.

[Paladin2]

There is nothing like the occasional object lesson.

Guns are dangerous and shouldn't be in the hands of fools.

"Several suspects from the where the warrant was being served have been taken into custody."

Dogs included?

[RedMonqey]

Only trained, licensed, professional personnel should have the right to own and carry weapons.

(snicker)

[potlatch]

accidentally shot by a fellow officer who was trying to shoot a pit bull, but missed.

-and then some of the people in the house were arrested. Wonder what the warrant was about, maybe I missed it. What a botched up deal....

[GladesGuru]

“Only trained, licensed, professional personnel should have the right to own and carry weapons.”

Sounds like a LEO in Miami who said something to that effect just before shooting himself in teh foot in front of the pooblik skrewl collective class.

He was, in comparison, a “professional LEO” in that he shot himself instead of his partner.

Give the Devil in s state issued uniform his due - he finished the classroom presentation after shooting himself in the foot.

[TigersEye]

Nothing gets in the way of shooting a dog.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Pretty fancy shooting.

DEA agent Lee Paige. Google hath many videos. *snicker*

[Hardraade]

Good dog.

Give him a bone after the traumatic experience.

[Hardraade]

How many dog-hating muslim LEOs are there in the US?

[RedMonqey]

Yeow!!!

[Slings and Arrows]

[Secret Agent Man]

Can’t actually say I’m upset about this.

[Slings and Arrows]

"Several suspects from the where the warrant was being served have been taken into custody." Dogs included?

[Paladin2]

LOL

Now THAT is funny.

[ArmyTeach]

What a sweetie!

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m just wondering how they got the cuffs on.

[fortheDeclaration]

Frankly, when I read the headline, I had hoped one cop shot the other to defend the dog!

[Utmost Certainty]

Same lol. Got excited hoping there was finally mutiny in the ranks protesting the police state’s War on Dogs.

[count-your-change]

“You hold the dog and I’ll shoot him”

[Bon mots]

[Erik Latranyi]

Will it take something like this to end the War on Dogs?

If they would just let the police officers have dog fighting, this would not happen.

They need to kill dogs one way or the other.

[BCR #226]

If it ever comes down to cops shooting my dogs, I’m replacing them with a pair of 25 foot reticulated pythons for home defense. Cops might shoot the retics but before they expire, they’ll do bad things to the cops.

So, for officer safety, leave my dogs alone unless you really want the last thing you see is the gullet of a retic up real close.

[TheOldLady]

May the good Lord forgive me, I laughed.

The comments here and after the Fox14 story are universally anti-cop.

Thanks a lot, you marxist, dumbed-down-cop, police state, leftist bastids. You’ve completed the us-vs.-them mentality that will get us all killed.

[CodeToad]

Cops: Proof that when you flunk out of janitor training there is still a job waiting.

[Altariel]

I knew it. I always new that *somehow* they kept sending me telepathic messages.

“Your bacon. Drop it on the floor. Drop it, drop it.....”

[lonevoice]

Weird story is weird.

The cop who was shot and is in critical condition (Bryant) is not the cop who was trying to shoot the dog.

The cop who was trying to shoot the dog is the one who shot Bryant.

Bryant was wearing a bullet proof vest, but he is reported to be in critical condition.

Considering that the shooter cop was aiming at the general level of a pit bull, just where on his body was Bryant struck that resulted in a critical injury in spite of his bullet proof vest?

Just idle curiousity about a weird story.

[Gargantua]

I laughed like hell, and I'm not sorry at all. My black Lab laughed with me. We were cleaning our sniper rifles and assault weapons. She and I have more guns than Napoleon, but I don't do any sport hunting.

:^)

[Kenneth J. Conner]

Stories like this should specify whether the dog and any people who may have been in the area are OK.
