How do spent bullets wind up sitting on a porch?
>>They were at fault for leaving him (a 5 pound dog) on the front porch?<<
He was left in the backyard. Look here...
“The Bullocks were shocked to learn that Jack had gotten out of the backyard”
As a small dog owner, I will tell you that small dogs are in danger from many things. A five pound dog left in a backyard can slip under fences, be taken out by a larger dog that hops the fence or even wildlife. We were alerted by the breeder to NEVER leave a dog this small unattended. Many a small breed owner has found their pup maimed or murdered after leaving them out unattended.
I agree that the cop was totally wrong, but the owners should have kept the pup in the house.
The police and government are also constantly pushing more weak justifications for intruding and invading your home or property;a dog on his front porch would normally defend his home.These officers are so used to a cowed populace that they react poorly to anyone standing firm.
Sue the hell out of the cowardly officer and toss him out of the force.
You'd come to regret that. One night, on your way home from work, a cop would pull you over and direct you to proceed to a nearby darkened parking lot. Two more cop cruisers would then pull in around your car, blocking you in, and screening you from both the view of passing traffic and of any nearby survellance cameras. They would then teach you what happens to loudmouths who don't know when to shut up.
But don't take my word for it. Talk to an attorney. He or she will tell you what a mistake it is to cross the Blue Gang.
Next the PD will send them a bill for the ammo they expended
Three Bullets- they needed to make sure that vicious 5 pounder was down for good
If this moron is afraid of a 5lb dog, what the hell would he do with a real armed criminal? Call in the national guard?!
A few years back a new local cop maced my Jack Russell. The police chief made him come back and apologize to both of us.
Chis might be mean little bastids but good lord, a simple pair of thick work gloves is enough to control even the meanest...they simply don’t have a lot of strength and can be manhandled as needed for safety.
These officers are rank cowards!
I like that. That is the only function these authoritarian meatheads serves in our society anymore. Anything beyond that and they're completely out of their depth.
Poor little kid... what a horrible story. Cops suck.
Probably meant shells, or the bullets just went thru and lodged in something.
An awfully cute little pup.
Municipalities are sued, and lose all the time. That is why they have to purchase liability insurance.
There were two cops in on this and neither had the brains nor the ethics to see how wrong this was. They were ‘following procedures’. This is chilling.
Yep, since this is a community police officer(s) ===the community will be heard from on this, I’m sure. I know if I lived there, I’d be at the front desk pounding my fist on the counter asking what the heck is going on!
