The officer, Jamie Chester, was responding to a call at a home in Erie. He reportedly felt threatened by the Germen shepherd. The dog’s owner and a neighbor witnessed the shooting. They say the dog didn’t do anything wrong.
“I keep reliving the sound that she made when he shot her and then Ivy, our golden retriever, went and was trying to help her up,” Ava’s owner Brittany Moore said.
“I remember that her tail was wagging as she walked towards the officer,” neighbor Andy feero said.
2 minutes ago I posted in support of cops.
Based on all the info in the source, these cops should be ashamed and, as a pet owner and lover, I would want their heads on a pike.
Cops need to be accountable when they freak out (see the recent cop who threatened the life of a legal CCW holder).
Why couldn’t this bastard in a uniform be fired?
The headline kinda sucks. It says
The Owner reacts to finding the Officer was justified.
I see no justification here except a District Attorney working for the State who is protecting the State and the police from an expensive trial and later suit.
The District attorney certainly had a predjudiced reason for finding the officer justified.
I dont know the facts but in some places there are civilian boards who get a chance to se these justifications, and there are good reasons for having them.
You can’t win against the police on this no matter what they do.
Wait a golldarned minute. So you have a police officer reponding to a call AT THE DOG OWNER’S RESIDENCE AND THE OWNER DOES NOT SECURE HER ANIMAL.
Excuse me I am in the middle of training my kids that when they get pulled over by a police officer that they should immediately drop from sight in the vehicle and start rummaging around their glove compartment.
I don't care why he shot this person's dog, these same law enforcement officers have charged American citizens with murder for shooting and killing a police dog!
It is high time Americans take a zero tolerance against being shit on by law enforcement whenever they think it is convenient for them to do so!
Stand up to this nonsense!
Thankfully the police shooting dogs is a rare occurrence and we’ll probably never hear about it happening again.
Cop shots the dog. shoot the cop. That’ll stop it.
Oh, so in other words, he may or may not have had a warrant, the warrant may or may not have been issued for the correct person at the correct address. There may or may not have been a crime of the most minor infraction to no actual infraction at all.
I’m curious, do police departments offer any training on how to recognize when dogs are aggressive or when the are friendly? It seems that I keep seeing these stories and am curious if there has been any attempt to change the trend...
