I’ve not ever seen a vicious Pug, but I’ll take the officer’s word on it. Tragic situation.
Plugged Pug Ping.
Why did I click on this thread!?!?!?!
Nailing a dog perhaps does not involve the paperwork as from shooting a person, but gives them a rush for shooting something, and is therefore a safe outlet?
Gee, another brave police officer doing his duty. As someone that had the privilege to serve in the capacity as a police officer (for 28 years), I never shot a dog. As a matter of fact, I only fired my weapon once … and missed.
The only thing that surprises me about this story is that it didn’t happen in Florida.
Some cops just want to shoot something!
Clicked on the story and there is a picture of the dog. Very sad, but I don’t think it is a Pug, might be a mix, but it has a snout.
It really seems lately to be some badge of honor for cops when they kill family dogs. I bet they’re yucking it up bigtime behind the scenes about this. Disgraceful.
Do they get merit badges for shooting family pets now?
My precious young Boxer is asleep on the futon behind me as he does every night.
The J B goons may as well put me down too if it happen at my house.
It is easy to sit back and throw shame at the officer’s but I myself have been in low light situation where I have had a dog run at me and if I had a gun I would have done the same thing. Bottom line, keep your dog on a leash. Also, says the folks have a pit bull, which the officers said charged them but of course the owners say the pit bull was in the house (of course it was).
Thought this might rate a “I’m going to kick your ass and get away with it” graphic. Or perhaps some Freeper could come up with an “I’m here to shoot your dog” version.
Welcome to the Law Enforcement Hush Puppy Hall of Fame!!
With bonus points for killing a dog under 20 pounds!!
Frank, weighing no more than 20 pounds, ran along the side of the house toward the police cars and was shot once in the eye and once in the jaw by an unidentified police officer from the 101 precinct.
~~~
Did the cop wet his panties when a 20lb. dawg “attacked” him?!
What A Man!!!...
I can certainly see an officer shooting a Pitt Bull that is running towards him...I would shoot it too. Or perhaps a chow, german shepherd, dobie, rottweiler..etc
But a Pug!?
Something is wrong here :-(
I keep tilting my head as I read this story.
"Cop's Two Shots Kill Small Dog" is not a story.
"Small Dog Shoots Cop Twice", now THAT would be a story.
Utterly and absolutely bush league. The officers were clearly mediocre policemen and even more mediocre human beings.
