A Georgia police officer shot and killed a tiny Jack Russell Terrier that he claims threatened him during a routine probationary checkup on Monday.
The officer, Antoine Jones, is over six feet tall and weighs nearly 300 pounds. Patches, the dog he killed, weighs just 12 pounds, according to a local news channel.
Jones visited the Albany residence of Cherrie Shelton earlier this week to check on her son, who is serving probation. Upon Joness arrival, two-year-old Patches approached the officer and began barking. Shelton claims she told Jones that Patches was no threat, but the officer drew his weapon and shot the dog anyway.
After being shot, Patches fled and hid, eventually succumbing to her wounds.
According to Joness statement, Patches advanced toward him in a threatening manner even after receiving multiple verbal commands to get back.
But Shelton said this was not Joness first visit to the home, and the officer should have known that Patches was harmless.
Shelton buried Patches, and has plans to buy a cross to mark her grave. The dog is missed, she said.

You accuse me, but can’t remember the vulgar names from yesterday? You’d best do some introspection.
To: Alaska Wolf
Trying to get threads pulled, as you seem to be doing, is bad form and bad forum behavior.

I think the best way of dealing with this would be to publicly embarrass the man, by taking up a collection to get him psychiatric treatment for his severe, crippling fear of dogs.I like your approach, unfortunately sham has been outlawed for decades now ;(

I was watching an episode of cops yesterday when the officer claimed he was borderline ADHD and needed to stay busy. It caught me by surprise that he would admit something like that on camera. I doubt he told the department about it while he was going through the hiring process.

The ROE for cops are significantly less stringent than for our troops in a war zone.
Everything else is pretty much the same, well except for the pay of course, and the lower amount of danger for the cops, and newer equipment for the cops, and the fact they get to go home every night.
Heck if the cops shoot someone they get a lawyer paid for and time off with pay. Our troops don’t get that.

Since when have accuracy and facts become disruption and flame bait?
To: Alaska Wolf
Accuracy died with the dog.

Yes. You got the thread pulled by starting a flame war. Don't feed the trolls.

Intimating that a cop shot a dog because of skin color is not accuracy or fact, it is disruption and flamebait.

"Guns dont kill people. People in uniforms usually do." Not to get too much off topic, but that's what I find the most dishonest about the statistics put out by the VPC and the Brady Bunch. They always lump police shootings in with all the gun violence stats to pad the numbers and make it look like we have more of a problem with firearm related deaths than we actually do.

Normally I don’t but this one needs a FReeper spanking.

Apparently this Jack Russell was some kind of ninja dog, capable of taking down everyone.
The world has been saved.

Virtually any dog can appear to be threatening.
Even the most violent and savage attack by a twelve-pound Jack Russell can be resolved by kicking across the room.
Escalating it to gunfire is unnecessary.
