I guess this is not as bad as killing a man during a doghunt.

STILL....

“I’m just thinking we should arm UPS & FedEx drivers... it’s amazing any of those guys make it home every day!”

The drivers in my old hood were armed....with assault dog biscuits. They fired them off at random dogs sitting in yards. And you know what? They didn’t seem to have any problems when they delivered packages.

Funny. Maybe there’s a lesson there for police.

If you go to the comment by the 'Leutnant' of the West Virginia Stasi, at 1:29 of the video, he states, "The Trooper who fired the shots, its my understanding, waited until the very last second to fire that shot in hopes that that animal would retreat."

The owner states that the dog ran for the back of the house after the first shot! Where I come from, running away from something is retreating. Trooper 'Barney's 'hopes' ("...that that animal would retreat.") were met after this first shot, yet he continued to unload his gun into the dog! What part of that do you not understand?

I thank God that the cops in Calgary generally seem to 'have a clue', though the same cannot be said of the Toronto Police Service! Last year, they killed an obviously disturbed teenager armed with a knife , on a streetcar in downtown Toronto. They were 15 feet from the door of the streetcar, pointing their weapons at the kid, who was 10 feet inside the streetcar, calling the cop an "f---ing p---y" and apparently making lewd gestures with his private parts. I guess 'roid rage occurred in Const. James Forcillo and he shot the kid three times, waited five seconds (perhaps the kid was still moving, writhing in pain on the floor of the streetcar) and then fired six more shots. Then, after another 40 seconds, they Tasered him! One must admit though, the TPS is THOROUGH! Forcillo was charged with murder. The bad news is, it was likely a case of manslaughter, so he'll likely get off scot free!

Are there good cops? Yes, I think so, but so many that I've met are young 'roid fueled Rambo types who think that whatever they say MUST be ABSOLUTELY adhered to, OR ELSE; whether legal or not! (Incidently, Forcillo was part owner of a gym; SO connect the dots, folks!)

I think that one reason that the Calgary cops are generally not gun crazy is that the CPS has been recruiting police from the UK. 'Beat' cops over there, have to use their brains and brawn to arrest criminals, rather than just shoot or Taser them. They use their brains to talk a criminal into surrendering, or physically bringing them down, instead of just shooting them. I think it leads to better policing and few if any innocent canine deaths in Calgary.

“So long as the “fear” excuse is tossed about, the problem continues.”

Oh, but it’s worse than that. At a certain point, revulsion at police shootings will result In a higher self defense standard being applied. Although in practice, it will only apply to non police.

“It’s counterproductive and it’s only serving to fan the tension,” Baylous said. “We have had several people responding to us in a very irrational way and we feel that it’s counterproductive to comment further.”

Interesting comment by the police. I guess those pat excuses of “feared for their lives” just aren’t cutting it anymore, eh?

These were state troopers, right?

The physical requirements needed to be accepted in to the State Police probably result in the typical recruit being 6’ to 6'2” with a weight of probably 175 to 225 pounds.

From the picture of the dog, I have to believe that it could not have been more than 40 pounds, max.

There are some dogs that can strike terror in the hearts of men; Dobermans, rottweilers, pit bulls, german shepards. Even if this dog launched itself into a full fledged assault on these troopers, they should have been able to subdue the dog without sustaining life threatening injuries. This story just highlights how the job of law officer has been transformed in such a short time.

these are the cops i will not miss when the shtf and they’re on their own.

I would imagine to some people who have been adversely affected by these thugs, "on their own" would be something they would desire, instead of what potentially could happen to them.

Great post. This has also been a great thread for flushing out some really drooling bootlickers.

“I would have killed every cop involved or died trying.”

Sounds like you would be put down.

The Spitz breeds are innocent.

They’ve told me so.

However, West Virginia State Police Lieutenant Michael Baylous said the dog was a threat, and troopers did what they are trained to do.

Finally, an admission of what we all knew to be true...

I’d send more money too, but we need several thousand to participate at the lesser price. The cop could be taken to small claims court and even if they won, it would hassle the police to think again about shooting just for the hell of it.

Maybe and maybe not. I’d take my chances with a jury. One thing is for sure. There would be a few cops who wouldn’t be around to draw their pensions.

Now that I see a full photo, yes, the original photo looked more like a pit bull.

If my child was lost, would I want the cops to look everywhere they could think to look? Yes.

"If my child was lost, would I want the cops to look everywhere they could think to look? Yes.'

Just hope the police don't, "feel threatened," when they find your child, or things could take a really bad turn.

Frankly, if my child was lost, I would much rather my dog look everywhere he could think to look.
