a Redford Township police officer is being accused of killing a 10-month-old lab/pit bull mix. The officer was chasing a suspect through a backyard when the officer claims the young puppy charged at him. He claimed he fired two shots because he feared for his life. When the dog's owner came out to demand answers police arrested him and charged with interfering with a police investigation.

No wonder that citizens are losing respect for the law... this does not surprise me in the least.

If they don’t get a grip on themselves, those window stickers with the blue line on the black background will become targets. People are getting fed up.

I have always had a respect for the police. That respect has been fading fast.

Chasing a suspect and he feared for his life from a DOG!!!!!!!!!!!
The a$$hole was running after the suspect and all he had to do was avoid the dog.
Maybe we should support “rights for animals” so the cops who do this can be sent to jail.

Another sissy cop.
But what would happen to me if I jumped into someone’s backyard uninvited and then shot their dog?
We all know what would happen to me. That same exact cop would cuff me, and arrest me. Then a DA would charge me with a felony.

I never hear tales of letter carriers shooting dogs.
Letter carriers usually keep a few milkbones in the bag to handle dogs.

Or dog spray, same as cyclists carry. Or a water pistol filled with ammonia, one shot in the snout will take the fight right out of ‘em.

It seems like an either/or situation has arisen. Either our nation is hiring cops who are so jittery and scared of their own shadows that they open fire on anything that moves fast or our nation is hiring some very bloodthirsty maniacs who yearn for the chance to kill something and get away with it.
I expect in another generation's time the "cop shoots and kills dog because it came running up with tail wagging" stories will be replaced with "cop shoots and kills homeowner because she answered the door with a frown" stories.

That respect has been fading fast.Fading, you say? I lost respect for them years ago. To me, they are nothing but a bunch of blue-shirted thugs with a disdain for the peons they supposedly "serve."

Sounds like animal cruelty and abuse topped off with harassment of a private citizen. Some folks consider their pets part of the family. You shoot a member of the family, you get shot right back. As the respect for the police continues to be marred by events like this, it's not a matter of "if" but "when".
