They can and have come to the “wrong” house and killed occupants and been excused by their departments and by judges Some of these incidents have been so egregious that it is hard to keep from believing that the orders were to raid a house (unspecified) in X part of town and make it spectacular. They are engaging in a “show of force” to intimidate the population.
next they'll be painting kills on the side of their cop cars...
yup, i tried looking for a pic on the web but haven't found one yet
No doubt.
this only stops when the cops get named and shamed publicly
they would contend theirs lives might be endangered. thats the point.
don’t do these things and you won’t have the problem
Like those “Gun Free Zone” signs we need “Please Don’t Shoot My Dog” signs ....
I’ve been saying they’re going to tire of shooting dogs and start shooting children. Evil monsters. How their wives stay with them is mind boggling. Every cop who shoots a family pet without being able to show physical evidence, such as a bite or scratch, should be fired immediately. Probably 99% of these dogs are “charging” because they’re happy someone came to visit them and want to be petted.
They are warming up to the dangerous and vicious citizens. Dogs can’t shoot back!
Ooooorrrrr,”Shoot my dog and I shoot YOU!”
The report always concludes “… the officers were following procedures and acted in accordance with their training.” Perhaps this is correct.
That same response did not fly at the Nurnberg trials.
The “officers” give those who are good people a bad name. Anyone who accepts this behavior has the same guilt. Just like Nurnberg.
By the way, the title “officer” indicates they are acting with the full authority of the entity of which they are an “officer.” Perhaps those above them need a lesson in history, specifically how “following orders” as a defense works out in the end.
I am surprised that some Internet vigilantes don’t find pictures of such dangerous cops and post them on the Internet as “armed and dangerous”, “do not approach”, “seek shelter behind locked doors immediately”, “stand behind bullet resistant cover”, “do not give willing access to your property”.
“If you see these men in public, be advised that they might recklessly and possibly maliciously fire weapons at any time, so any person or animal in range is at risk.”
“They may forcibly enter property without permission or warrant, so be prepared to escape out any other entrance.”
“If fired on, do not stop, as they may continue to fire on you if halted, or even prone on the ground. So your only chance may be to keep running, even if wounded.”
Amen
Stupid remark...just sayin
It wouldn’t matter if the animal was a wolf that weighed 150 pounds.
These dicks were not in uniform, they sneaked on to *private property* ILLEGALLY. And their actions afterward were patently illegal.
They were the criminals, they committed trespassing and what amounts to armed B&E and assault.
The breed of the dog on the property is irrelevant and is none of your business, it was doing nothing and had no history of doing anything. These clowns would have shot any dog that was big enough to hit.
Add to that the despicable actions of the police department afterwards, confiscating the dog to cover their own butts.
Legally the Sheriff doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Lady’s actions don’t meet any of the criteria for the Dangerous Dog statute in NY State. Even if they could torture the circumstances enough to meet the criteria, there are clearly no mitigating circumstances that would allow for Lady to be killed.
I’ve been involved in a few of these cases and if you know the law you always win.
