So the dog protected its home against intruders, and gets shot by the intruder, which is justified because the intruder gets a government check?

This could have been rectified if people werent such pansies and didnt call the cops because a dog was loose.

As for the dog charging, the second the officer was aggressive in the dog’s mind, one of the two was going to be leaving hurt or dead. But the dog had every right to be there and in its yard. As for the owner, if a cop shows up and starts demanding things of someone who hasnt broken a law, why does the owner needs to follow the cop’s instructions? Last, the cop got in the family’s face first, creating the situation.

This is upsetting and it isn’t even my dog. I can imagine how the family must feel. Dogs have been around for years and yet it is only recently the police decide to shoot them for every occasion. I blame part of it on people who call the police for every little incident INCLUDING THE FREEKIN SCHOOLS!

Couple of questions; How does the mailmen get his job done without shooting dogs and have the police never heard of ‘pepper spray’(it actually comes strong enough to repel bears)?

Because they kick cats across the room.

“...police never heard of ‘pepper spray’(it actually comes strong enough to repel bears)?”

Or better yet how is it that animal control can take care of these pets so easily without spraying bullets all over the place.

I would not convict someone defending their pets from deadly force from anyone.

This is all planned out in the State Dept document Publication 5277 “Freedom From War.”

“Dog was defending it’s home.”

I agree. Aussies are very protective of their family and property. Once the cop entered “his” property he became a threat to the child. This dog was doing his job.

The PD could have handled this ‘threat’ in so many other ways.

I believe police are being encouraged to shoot dogs as a matter of course as practice for when they are given orders to shoot citizens for political reasons. Shooting dogs likely desensitizes them somewhat to shooting anything or anyone and gets them used to "feeling threatened" and reacting appropriately. Actually it seems that a dog or a person doesn't have to make any move or any sound for an officer to "feel threatened" even now. It will reach smaller cities then smaller towns soon enough. It is coming. The big city police now are being added into the TSA and ICE Civilian Defense Force that is President's super Praetorian Guard.

Anyone, and I do mean anyone, harming one of my family dogs is a dead person walking. The only questions are when, where, and how.

I agree with Lurker (post #35). As I have noted before, the only reason I would call the cops would be to report a body (anyone who breaks into my house) on the premises, and at point I would warn them in the strongest terms to not harm my dogs. The consequences would be dire and would not include legal action.

Trigger-happy, kill-machine pigs. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to walk around, shooting the ever-living crap out of anything you want, and never, EVER have to face the music for it?

Fu_ ing a_ hole pigs. Human garbage. The coming chaos is going to have its fleeting moments of pure, unadulterated sweetness as the most vile get what they have coming in big, hurting spades.
