Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright ... justified the shooting by saying that there was a chance the tether could have slipped off which would have resulted in Boutin being bitten.If that's the case then he should send his officers down to the Human Society, the APA, and all the animal shelters in the county, take some preemptive action, and shoot all the dogs. That will further reduce the risk of being bitten by a dog.

I wonder how many dobes I need on hand to subdue these pet murderers? I would think 3 should be able to stop one lunatic gunman.

They need to get rid of the sheriff.

“There are several get out of jail free responses by government officials.
For cops, one of them is: It was for my own safety.
Kind of like the South Park hunters and thier ‘It was coming right at me’.

The sign I have posted at my gate says; IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SIGNED, VALID WARRANT.
IF YOU ONLY THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ADDRESS.
TURN AROUND AND GET OUT NOW.
IF YOU SHOOT MY DOGS OR LIVESTOCK; I WILL SHOOT, YOU AND I SHOOT TO KILL.
Don’t care what the law says any more. I am to tired to run, to poor to go to court, and to old to take a beating so I will shoot the offender and go to prison.
Better health care than I have had in my entire life, 3 meals a day that I don’t have to prepare, and at my age probably a job in the prison library. A lot of days it just don’t sound to bad.

The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday that it would not be pursuing disciplinary action against a deputy who fatally shot a tethered dog earlier this week. But, of course. Who really thinks cops have to follow the same rules as us? They are better than us. I have actually had them tell me that.

The man rushed outside to check on his 8-year-old shepherd mix, Diamond, who had been playing out front while tethered to the porch railing. Tethering isn't a good way to get a dog to play. It usually makes them mean and territorial instead.

I think if somebody came on my property and shot my dog Id have a tought time restraining myself from shooting them, in uniform or not. That's how they felt at Ruby Ridge.
And I'd acquit you if I was on the jury.

These cops need to experience the gimp treatment from Pulp Fiction a few times and this $hit will stop.

Woodruff also pointed out the "Beware of Dog" sign attached to an oak tree on his lawn. The man states that the deputy parked his car in front of the sign and then walked right past it. Classic mistake, assuming that a cop can read.

Sheriff defends deputy who ...., killed tethered dog.
Of course he does. All animals are equal, 'cept for the pigs in control (Animal Farm).

"Hitcho shot and killed Freemansburg police Officer Robert Lasso last August when Lasso responded to a disturbance call. Investigators say Hitcho shot Lasso in the head while the officer was trying to fend off Hitchos dogs."
Lasso jumped a fence, enter the property w/o a warrent or exegent circumstances and his supervisor ordered him to taze the dogs before Hitcho fired.

"The letter carriers seem to be able to deal with dogs"
We had some newly reassigned (they bid for the route) carriers who refused to deliver the mail 'cause the dog's tether stopped a dozen yards from the box.

"Tethering isn't a good way to get a dog to play."
My dog is on a two axis, overhead tether arrangement that gives her a range that almost covers the full extent of the back yard. She's quite well adjusted, thought the squirrels tend to stay just out of range. We can easily play retrieve (a ball or any of her favorite sticks pulled from the kindling piles) when she is "on the hook".

He should be forcefully encouraged to seek other employment; i.e., fired.

My dog is on a two axis, overhead tether arrangement... Did you build it or buy it somewhere? That's not usually what is meant by tethering.

I built it from parts/assemblies/kits at the dog dept at Walmart, Ace Hardware, etc.
The four corners are attached quite high up into big trees in the "hedgerow" between the adjacent yards. There are one each pulley on the two cross yard cables that suspend a front to back cable that has a pulley running on it that holds the helically coiled drop cable. Ther's a lot of degrees of freedom so the dog is not abruptly stopped at the margins of system travel.
