When you're in the dog's yard, your ass belongs to the dog.

"That's where Rosas' two dogs - Kio and Conan, both mixed breeds -"

A mix of what and what? Lousy reporting.

Too bad the dogs didn't finish him off.

Had it been my yard there might have been an "accidental" shooting of an intruder who was shooting at my dogs.

I hope the cop has to pay for the vet bills.

Roberts said the person the narcotics officers were pursuing got away during the altercation with the dogs.

Hmmm...

Somethings not adding up. Cop felt endangered by dogs and shot them to stop them. He missed one and wounded the other. Did another copper shoot them or did they figure out a way to subdue the dogs that didn't involve blasting them away? If they did, why wasn't this the first solution? All that recon and they didn't have a plan to deal with the dogs. smart.

Is it now SAP for cops to shoot the dog of every suspect they encounter?

[llevrok]

remoinds me of an old joke -

so a dog comes into a wild west cowboy bar, with a p.o'd look on his face and the bar tender asks, "What can I do for you, pal?"

"Well", says the dog, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

OK so let me get this straight here... a police officer, in the process of enforcing blatantly unconstitutional laws, felt it necessary to shoot and kill the pets of a totally innocent neighbor in order to fulfill his perceived duty?

The WoD fanatics are almost as scary as the Islamofanatics.

Because Kio is unregistered and may not have had vaccinations, Rosas could be fined, Roberts said.

Like hell! Her dogs were doing what they were supposed to be doing, guarding her property. They weren't out roaming the streets. Any fine should be on the officer who was trespassing.

First thing the ATF did at the Waco raid was shoot the dogs that were tied to the fence. Seems to be something tought at the academy.

Had an encounter with a Constable dumb as him.Wife went to bingo and I felt sleepy,so I locked my gate so no one came and bothered me.At night I put the dogs in the garage.So here I am sleeping,a knock comes on my door waking me up.Knowing I had the door and my ranch gate closed,[I live in a secluded place]I grab my magnum and look out the window to the front porch,unseen of course,adrenaline pumping,I see a hat.The whole time I have my pistol aiming at the hat.I come around to the front door,opening it with my left hand with my pistol in my right.My friends know when my gate is locked it is for a reason,so I knew it was not someone I knew.There he stands with a warrant for someone who hasn't lived here for over 6 yrs.The look on his face he knew he had screwed up.I opened the door,and in no uncertain terms said what the f___k are you doing?He did not see the pistol because I still had it behind the door.I said,can you read?He said yes.I said you didn't see all the no trespassing signs,and the beware of dogs sign?He said yes,and thats when I opened the door and brought up my pistol.I told him what made him climb my gate and trespass?His reply was,he thought the people he had the warrant for were trying to hide.I gave him a toungelashing you wouldn't believe,all the while waving the pistol.I asked him if it was worth dying for the 50 dollars he would have made serving the warrant.Then he had the nerve to try and serve it to me!I said do I look Spanish to you?He said no.I said you have 5 seconds to get off my property,and I started counting.He asked if I would open the fence to let him out.I said get out the way you came in.4 3 2 1 He was gone.I wish I had a picture of him climbing that fence on the way out!I felt bad afterwards because he has known my wife all her life,but there was still no excuse for stupidity.

I didn't mean to rant,but the house I live in used to be the home of some major dealers.Scumbags still come here looking for the people who used to live here.My wife used to hate guns,but now she has no qualms about carrying her 25 auto.These people moved out of town 6 yrs.ago.I very rarely leave here for that very reason.I wasn't scared for me,but what if it had been scumbags instead of a dumb Constable?Or if my wife was home alone?I know if she had been home alone,she would have freaked out.I live in a private secluded place,picked for that reason alone.No neighbors.I have a little shooting range behind my house.I can shoot all day,and not a person can hear it,and I live two miles from town.Only bad part is it is within walking distance from town.

;On Saturday, Hillsborough County sheriff's Deputy Jason Roberts shot and injured a pit bull

My only regret is they didn't kill the pit bull.

[Oztrich Boy]

The dogs bit Blanco several times on his elbows, arms and hips, and he was taken to Tampa General Hospital. Kio was taken to Hillsborough County's Department of Animal Control for treatment and tests.

I hope Kio recovers.

If the roles had been reversed the shooter ( read STUPID COP ) would have been up for the death penalty for shooting a "cop" (dog)...
