"O'Hare was unable to elude the dog, the report states, which was "showing its teeth." He pointed his gun at it and yelled for it to get back, but the dog only hesitated momentarily before advancing again, it states. "
Cops without milk bones.

"yelled for it to get back,"
I'm not familiar with that dog command.

I think you're right. If the cop overreacts, as they tend to do, I bet the pet owner beats them in court.Nope, the other cops would execute the homeowner.
As for the main story, it shows what a worthless piece of ___ the DA is for not charging the trigger happy Irish with child endangerment and injury to a child.

O'hare center, on another case. Pussy - afraid of a house pet. I hope Hartford has to pay out a whole lot of big bucks which will go in his file
To: Altariel
The poor girl; I hope her parents will help her during her time of grief.How?
To: Altariel
It sounds like she doesn’t have parents that are around. Foster child perhaps?

It’s only a matter of time before killing dogs won’t be enough.
People who *enjoy* cruelty to animals often also prey on human victims.

Not Hartford.
The cop himself.
“You shot a law-abiding citizen’s dog; we will be sending the family one year of your salary.”
THAT would resonate quickly, and this nonsense would STOP.

That kid will not only suffer grief. She has to deal with the fear and rage of terror. She’s a crime victim. For a lot of people, watching someone murder your dog in cold blood is like witnessing a member of the family being murdered. Poor kid.
To: kanawa
Indeed.
That cop would be toast when pitted against something really dangerous.
Such as, for instance, a bear.

What an idiot.
I had two of them things when I was a kid. The scariest two things they do are make piles of do~do large enough to build a castle and slime you with their big slobby tongue and lips.

They received a tip from an informant¿¿
Since when does that justify Breaking & Entering and Trespassing without a warrant???

SBs can also bury you in a pile of sloughed dog hair.

A tip from an informant so time sensitive that they couldn’t get at warrant ..... right. Two more FEMA camp guardians candidates.

Dead dogs don’t have vet bills. This was a calculating cop, actually thinking he’d be found in the wrong and have to pay the vet bills himself.
I can’t believe the attorney for the city fought the suit or expects to win when there was no warrant. There are only a few situations when entering a property without a warrant is legal, and they all involve imminent danger or pursuit of a suspect. I don’t think following a tip about stashed weapons would qualify.
