Many of you know that I work for the NYPD, and I'm a very pro-cop. But looking at this video makes me angry and sad. From the looks of it there was zero reason to pull that 12-pound trigger. That dog posed no threat whatsoever. We see dogs as "property" but they aren't property to their owners.

Think the news is that an NYPD cop actually shot on target,

grrrrr....

The only way to fix these problems is to start holding Police Officers accountable under the law, exactly the same way an average citizen would be.

Destroying Private Property
Reckless Endangerment involving a firearm
Reckless discharge of a Firearm
Discharging a firearm within the city limits
reckless endangerment involving a firearm

ALL FELONIES

The Average Citizen would be CHARGED WITH ALL OF THESE!

not sure if I am missing something here.
Police knock on door\ring door bell.
Door opens and a dog comes out, a pit bull ?

at that point, what is proper police procedure ?

[I want the USA back]

Civil suit. Compensatory and punitive damages.

From the camera it doesn’t look like the dog posed a threat, but the cop had a different view. People’s dogs aren’t nearly as cute to others as their owner’s seem to think they are.

It is clear that cops are TRAINED TO SHOOT BARKING DOGS!
