The owner of two dogs has been cited after the pets caused a ruckus near a Canadian County school last week.

According to the El Reno Tribune, Canadian County Deputy Storm Barrett jumped into action when he saw a man running and screaming while being chased by two pit bulls.

The Tribune’s Ray Dyer says the man was running backwards and was trying to keep the dogs away with a jacket.

At that point, Barrett parked his patrol car and Barrett and the man jumped on the hood of the cruiser to avoid the dogs.

Barrett says when the dogs tried to wander, he would bang his baton on the car to keep them there until animal control arrived.

Fortunately, the dogs did not bite anyone and their owner was eventually cited for allowing them to run at large.

Okay...normally these dudes go around shooting dogs for no reason.

The one time it’s justified they don’t???

I mean I love dogs but I would have shot the little turds.

White Cop protecting a Black man ? This can not be !

[Darnright]

That male needs neutering. That kind of dog is supposedly not human aggressive. He needs to be removed from the breeding population.

The owner is very lucky the policeman didn’t shoot and kill the dogs. I would have supported that choice. If you allow your aggressive dogs to wander the streets and menace people, don’t complain when someone uses deadly force against them.

You don’t see that everyday

[bgill]

What moron flaps their jacket at dogs? That only excites them even more.

Was the guy trying to break into their house? What caused them to go after him?

[nickcarraway]

The car is protecting the black man.

".normally these dudes go around shooting dogs for no reason"

There are around 800,000 uniformed police officers in the USA. I will wager that the proportion of them that has ever shot a dog is less than 0.1%... certainly less than 1%... guessing. So it's not "these dudes" ...... that's like the BLM types who blame all LEOs for bad actions of a very few. Although I would also agree that there are more "bad shoots" of dogs than there should be.

Duh ...

[Verginius Rufus]

Was the guy trying to break into their house?

Impossible. Don't you watch TV commercials? Burglars are always white males.

[MNDude]

I would have taken them on.

[Reno89519]

Just shoot the dogs and be done with it.

[USNBandit]

Dogs are olfactory centric. OC spray usually does the trick.

[ozzymandus]

Were the dogs wagging their tails?

[Revel]

The dogs were not even charged with attacking a police officer.

#5 What the civilian and officer on the car? : )
The dogs would do so but cannot take a bite out of em....... : )

[ClearBlueSky]

Awwww, don’t they look like perfectly lovely little puppy dogs? They just wanted to PLAY! That’s the ticket- the cop and the man were sissys. /sarc
