And we’re supposed to rely on these people to “protect” us?
How do we all get through each day without shooting a dog or two?
I don’t. You can count on the police to collect some evidence against the perps, if possible, draw chalk lines around the bodies, and call the ME. But don’t count on them to be able to “protect” you from anyone who wants to harm you. You have to assume that responsibility.
Dog's shooting justified, police sayA Garfield Heights patrol officer was justified in shooting and wounding a dog during a call Sunday, Chief Thomas Murphy said this morning.
The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. at a Turney Road home. The officer, whom Murphy declined to identify, was sent to the house after a complaint about a youth throwing water balloons at passing cars from a second-story porch.
The officer spotted the youth, who ran toward the back of the house. When the officer followed, a large dog on a chain lunged at him, Murphy said. The officer drew his .45-caliber Sig Sauer handgun and fired one shot. Murphy did not know where the dog was wounded, and a police report does not specify a breed.
