A Michigan couple is furious after police shot and killed their 10-month-old lab-pit bull puppy in their own backyard.
Bianca Alakson and Ryan Showalter said their dog, Rock, was in their backyard Sunday morning when police began chasing a suspect through their Redford Township neighborhood, WDIV-TV reported.
Police said they saw their suspect in the couple's home. When officers went through the gate into the backyard to find the suspect, Rock charged, one officer said.
The officer fired one round, but when that didn't stop the dog, he fired a second, fatal shot.

Well, we have one now.
And for extra good measure - the homeowner was arrested too.
Rock charged?...case closed. Bury the dog.
So, just for grins, what would have happened to the cop if it was discovered that the dog he pumped two (probably hollow point) bullets into turned out to be an active duty police dog.
It's like medieval England...
That's to keep him from causing any trouble and make sure he understands that he will pay for any lack of respect.
Yet another reason to keep my back yard gates locked.
We live out in the woods at the end of our dirt road, and so have very few dog barking incidents.
When we do, though, and I’m called to go out and find out what’s up, I depart with the AR loaded, with 29 backups, and the Aimpoint on.
Our local cops are unlikely to shoot at anything in our patch, and I hope that holds, because I suspect I’d fire back.
In case you missed it...
ROCK WAS IN HIS OWN FENCED BACK YARD.
That doesn’t matter to the bootlickers.
“That doesn’t matter to the bootlickers.”
Sieg Heil!
“CopSuckers Uber Alles!” - the battle cry of our Ubermenschen Armed & Dangerous.
What a night-stick sucker you are!
We’re supposed to just roll over and take it. All this $h!t is just training us to be good little sheep.
Baaaaafreakingbaaaaa!
And that report comes from whom? The police officer. The cops have never, never been known to lie in order to justify their actions have they? A firearm is appropriate only when there has been an actual attack with physical contact and those are extremely rare. A repellent spray ought to be the first choice. Unless, of course, you want the public to know that the Nazis are in charge and they better watch out.
Cop comes barreling through my fenced-in backyard without a warrant, he’s going to have to worry about more than a puppy.
See dog; shoot dog. IQ isn’t required for this cop game.
Did the cops go home safe and sound that evening?
The story doesn’t say, a bunch of time was spent handwringing nonsense about some worthless dogs and stupid civilians. They should have skipped all that.
Did the Cops get home safely?
Nothing else matters.
NOTHING.
Sounds like he was arrested for merely being upset that they killed his dog.
Puppycide ping.
I guess knocking on the front door because the cop “suspects” something is too much? The cop has learned well from DC, there are no rights. Guilty until proven you’ve committed some kind of crime. We will kill you, your pets, your family members, and we do it with the full faith and backing of the government.
