A police officer shot dead a beloved family dog and then called the killing 'awesome', the animal's family has claimed. Sarah Brown, from Ardmore, Oklahoma, said she is devastated after her beloved pit bull Cali was gunned down by officer Brice Woolley after it hopped over their garden fence last Wednesday. Other members of the community are now joining her as she calls for justice and demands the officer to be fired. Officers with the Ardmore Police Department said they had received several complaints about the dog acting aggressively and headed to the scene, arriving before animal control...[snip]...Brown, who did not witness the incident, added to KFOR: 'He turned back to the animal control officer and said, "Did you see the way her collar flew into the air when I blew her head off? That was awesome".' Woolley informed the animal control that he had shot the dog, adding: 'We'll just write in the report that she tried to attack you and others in the neighborhood', according to witnesses.

I am coming to despise cops with each passing day. They’re a long, far cry from “Protect and Serve.”
If I were libel for this man’s actions, that emotional reaction would make me remove him from a job that involves armed law enforcement.
Like Ruby Ridge and Waco?
Fixed it.
The cops are out of control.
They have no regard for life of any kind.
Absolutely NOT! When I grew up in the 50's, 60's and 70's, there were NEVER any incidents of police EVER shooting neighborhood dogs..........And that includes dogs that escaped their yards and even bit people..........
Maybe the dogs being shot see something in these cops not obvious to the naked, human eye.
You mean the dog didn’t like gays?
I saw video of cops with a dog wandering around calmly as you please, they subdued it then shot it. It hadn’t been aggressive at all
“...What a macho clown.”

Bingo! You have the perfect description of the “valiant” Officer Brice Woolley. What a major league pussy he is!
Somebody posted here a long time ago that he thought that some cops enjoyed the thrill of legally shooting someone. He hereby amends his statement to include “legally shooting a person or an animal.”
I don’t condone what the cop did BUT anyone who thinks that pit bulls are “family” pets have some screws loose.
Aw, c’mon now, this fine public servant just saved some granny and a couple of toddlers from getting chewed to death by the four-legged mass-murderin’ hellhound.
File animal abuse charges against the dip-s#!+ officer.
Another one sided story. Playing on the emotions of dog lovers. As a father that had to go to one of these dog owners and tell them that if their dog came at my family and nipped at my wife again while they walked in public streets pushing the stroller w/ my newborn, I would personally do exactly what was done in this story. I have little empathy with dogs (and their owners) that can’t stay in their own dang yard and threaten the public safety. Human life > dangerous dog life. Keep your dogs locked up, especially those with over 300 lbs per inch bite power.
Pit bull gets “retired” because he was out attacking the neighbors and we’re supposed to get all weepy over it? I don’t see why.
Keywords: after it hopped over their garden fence last Wednesday.
IOW’s the dog was not in it’s own yard and the “protective of it’s yard” is not a true statement.
