Six-year-old girl watches in horror as police 'shoot dead her dog Apollo in her front yard
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | July 28, 2014 | Lydia Warren

A six-year-old girl watched in horror as police gunned down her one-year-old dog as it stood in their front yard, her family has said.

The girl's mother, Nicole Echlin, said their shepherd-mix Apollo, whom they have had since he was a puppy, got out of their yard in Hometown near Chicago, Illinois on Friday afternoon.

After they chased him around the neighborhood, he returned to the yard and was standing on the lawn when police arrived and pulled out their guns, Echlin told the Chicago Tribune.

'He started showing his teeth - that's when the officer shot him,' Echlin, 27, said. 'I didn't know that was going to happen.'

You and I must be the only two people on earth who have Google.

[or at least, who use it]

May we all see either the dog’s pedigree or DNA results that you apparently possess?

Stay inside your house, you will be safer there, better yet, hide under your bed.

Once you actually live life, you will feel sad because the little girl who saw her dog shot, will probably see her uncle shot and brother killed.

According to city-data.com, Hometown had zero murders between 2000 and 2012. It is 1.5 miles from Oaklawn, a town of 57,000 with just 6 murders during the same period. It is a very low crime area, and her home and yard look well kept.

So tell us why you would make such a statement.

SO yes, it was just a dog, but there’s so much more to come to little girls who live like that.

You are thoroughly contemptible the way you fling insinuations at that family.

Fired!

That's excellent news.

Police departments should try to screen out sadists during the hiring process.

I try not to use Google. Startpage is much friendlier.

You sound like you have had a rough time, and need help AND prayers. I feel sorry for you, and I will pray for you.

you have a knack of being judgmental. And you sound so angry.

I don’t know what NLP means or android.

I’m 53 and have lived a hard life. When you move out of your parent’s basement and experience real life. unplugged life where people you love get shot, die of caner or screw you over. Where you try to better your life and all you get is laughed at. etal.

You’ll be less quick to call people androids and tell them to go get screwed.

Once you actually live life, you will feel sad because the little girl who saw her dog shot, will probably see her uncle shot and brother killed.

SO yes, it was just a dog, but there’s so much more to come to little girls who live like that. And it’s sad. Dogs aren’t people.

If what you call living life means getting to the point where you shrug off the trauma of a six year old girl who watched her dog be shot to death by a cop for doing nothing, then I'll pass. Not to mention your incredibly insulting and bizarre pronouncements on her uncle and brother, your maudlin fantasies and your adolescent emotional accusations.

I sound angry? Well let me just rush to give you emotional justifications and explanations and completely struggle to explain myself... LOL, not.

Nah, I don't sound angry - you do. Read your own posts, look at the bitterness and manipulation in it, your justification of your own heartlessness, your spinning of FUD. Not to mention your cruelty towards the little girl.

Or your need to infantile me. Mommy Dearest is obviously your leverage technique. To bad for you I'm not a child, or some confused teenager who doesn't recognize... what... he's looking at. LOL

Stay away from little girls. After all, who knows what horror you'll want to show them for their own good. Especially at the hand of rotten men, right? Criminal uncles and brothers, for example, who deserve to be shot down like that dog? Yeah, you're real hard to understand...

Get help.

Thank you, Sir!

I wish I could drop painlessly, but my old pal Arthur Itis makes kneeling
impossible. I suppose I could just fall and hope I don’t break my arm...

Nice pictures of Eaker’s pit bulls, huh.

That’s Peanut, a cat, PomPom, a bear, Kitty, a puffin, a poodle,
Troublmeaker, Pit Stop, some actor, Mojo, and a pig.

Pit bulls, all!

That part of her statement MAY be true.
I hope it is NOT.

The rest of her statement is patently absurd.
