If there is one law enforcement trend that I absolutely cannot stand or abide it is the killing of family pets by law enforcement officers.
Generally speaking these incidents are completely uncalled for and in most cases the animal represents no real harm to police officers. I understand that there are rare occurences when a dog might viciously attack an officer and true self defense may come into play, but I’m tired of hearing about animals that were killed because they “appear aggressive” or “barked aggressively”.
In this case, a family dog was nearly shot by a Riverside County, CA deputy who was serving court papers because the dog “came at him aggressively”. However, as he was drawing his gun to kill the animal, on private property, the deputy shot himself in the leg (it should be noted that the dog still did not harm the deputy even after he was immobilized).
The deputy is now being treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
Animal control determined neither the dog nor its owner did anything wrong and will take no action against either.

JBT ping?
I hope he blew his own nuts off.
This has to be the first legitimate police shooting in California in the past three years.
Well played, sir!
Now that right there is FUNNY!!
Bad as it sounds I agree with that....
How did an elephant get in his pajamas???
As a news paper boy many years ago we had pepper spray
to deal with dogs.........
LMAO!
The dog was behind a chainlink fence.
The dog was behind a fence protecting the family children. The officer was outside the fence. The officer wanted to serve an eviction notice. So he planned to shoot the dog in full view of the kids.
Nothing else matters.
Yeah, right.
The videos says he entered the fence, but who knows.
In any case pepper spray or taser would have been more appropriate.
By being seductive.
Too bad he couldn’t have aimed higher where his supposed manhood is.
Favorite post in the comments section;
“Self-defense against his leg? “It was coming right at me!”
Elsewhere someone remarked that he must have felt that he was in such dire peril that he felt that suicide was his only recourse.
