Texas police officer cleared of shooting, killing dog

An officer for the Cleburne Police Department shown on video shooting and killing a dog in August was justified in taking that action, an independent investigator hired by the department found.

Officer Kevin Dupre was placed on paid administrative leave after video of the Aug. 10 shooting surfaced in October, according to NBC 5. City officials brought in Alan Patton, a retired police sergeant who did not serve in Cleburne, to conduct an independent investigation.

Anti-Freeze hotdogs would have solved your problem without having to move.

The Pitbull’s time has come and gone, regrettably.

Have had several beautiful loyal Pits, each of which eventually had aggression issues toward other dogs.

Daughter has one that grew up with an older Chihuahua, playing, loving, and one day killed the Chihuahua.

Back when, Pits that put a tooth on any person was put down to get that gene shunted.

Back in the 80’s the “thug” culture took a liking to Pits and inbred them big time to be aggressive to people. Now, there is no way to know beforehand what that sweet Pit might do.

I hate when LEO shoots a family dog on their own property, but running loose Pits are totally different.

This cop did right. Whoever owned the dog did wrong and is 100% responsible for anything it does and anything that happens to it.

Always at first glance these stories naturally show a family dog getting shot on purpose....bad cops killing pets. But as it was explained to me a barking dog causing a distraction COULD be dangerous in some circumstances. I cant imagine cops actually enjoying shooting a pet.

You Pit Nutters sound EXACTLY like the apologist for all the two legged thugs. “He wuz a gentle giant!” “He wuz a good boy and wuz just getting his life together and fixin to get his GED from obedience school!” “He was unarmed!” “The cop didn’t have to kill him, he coulda just shot his teeth out of his mouth!”

BTW, did any of you Pit Nutters see the interview with the thug owner of the dogs of peace and tolerance?

Have you stopped posting that Pitt Bull owners should be shot?

I thought it was obvious that that was hyperbole. If they let them run loose and attack or harass people, they should be arrested, but not shot.

I suggest you find alternative methods for communicating your thoughts.
