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....

“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.

Nothing gets in the way of shooting a dog.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Pretty fancy shooting.

Good dog.

Give him a bone after the traumatic experience.

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

[RedMonqey]

Yeow!!!

[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?

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.

“You hold the dog and I’ll shoot him”

[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.

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.
