Sounds like the cop should be sent to the shooting range.;-)
Shoot the dog; hang the owner. Or vice versa.
Paging Barney Fife.
I smell a face-palm picture in this threads future.
Freudian slip.
It's not clear if the officer will be placed on paid administrative leave during this investigation.
Uhhh, I need to shoot your dog sir, could you hold him still for me?
Saw a Tampa article today, a 18 year old being chased by a police dog stopped and nearly killed the K-9 with just his hands. Is being charged with assault of a law enforcement officer. Funny, dogs can be shot if they're civilians with doubtful repercussions to the shaved apes.
It seems to me that often when police encounter a potentially dangerous dog, the police are in a situation where they need to advance into the dog’s territory, and are met head on by the dog.
I think that a device, about the size of a D cell flashlight, might be invented, that would contain an “instant muzzle”. A tough bag of material would be ejected from the device, and surround the dog’s head, then “constrict to fit”, to close their jaws, but still allow them to breathe.
This would be especially useful in confronting a large group of dogs, instead of having to kill each one.
Ok, the cops go onto someone’s property and shoot the dog when it charges them. Did they call ahead and tell the owner they were coming? or did they just decide they should shoot the dog. I hate leos that think they are God and can do whatever they want to the American public. This a**hat cop should be dismissed and his superiors also.
if the dog is coming AT you... i'd wait till he was a little closer than 50' away
