Another one? Is there a special season on critters we do not know about?

"...but it's like a human being."

In the same way an ant is, or a bee, or a fly, a roach, a skunk, a squirrel. Where do they get these idiots??

Great Pyrenees

One of the finest breeds in dogdom.

I see cops are doing a lot of walking into backyards unannoucned these days.

I'll say this. I place much more value on the safety of a Houston police officer than I do on the life of a dog.

The Memphis police are well known dog killers. They were looking for a burglary susect a few years ago and they couldn't get into a backyard because of a "vicious" dog. Thinking the suspect may have been in there (with the vicious dog!) they shot it. No amount of explaining can make me understand why they didn't get the family (who was home) to put it up. The family was more thana little upset.

p.s The burglar was not in the yard with the "vicious" labrador retreiver.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING UPPITY BUD.

Yeah, what the hell was the cop doing responding to a burglary call without getting on the loudspeaker and announcing it to the whole neighborhood?

DEJA VOUS?

"Police cited them for failure to release the dog to animal control as required by law."

Real PR genuises here. It makes you wonder if they even care about the public.

Lick Lick Lick - Does the boot leather taste good?

When looking for bad guys, cops should always loudly and clearly announce where they are at all times.

The same should probably go for our military in Iraq.

You, obviously, are not a pet owner.

Not only do we shoot your dog, we rub your face in it with a citation.
Normally i'm cop-supportive, but most of these guys are taught that it's ok to shoot any animal they feel "threatens" them, regardless of the circumstances or illegality of their presence.
My fav is still the tennessee dog shooting, where a family was mistakenly (crimial negligence for anyone else) arrested, cuffed and placed on their knees with their van door left open in spite of pleas to close it. Guess what?? Their dog got out of the van wagging its tail and some jackboot shot it. We don't need to look abroad for terrorists: we have them in our own backyards.

I'm a pet owner, but I still value human life over animal life.

They're with the government, and are here to "protect" us.

Obviously, if a fat donut eating punk cop shoots your golden retriever after he trespasses into your yard, he was in fear of his life and fully justified.

No need for that. Cops showed up at my front door a few years back responding to a call by a neighbor who claimed he saw a robber jump into my backyard, and they asked permission to check the backyard. ....as they should've. I had a big (160 lb) Newfoundland back there and if they entered they backyard unannounced they very well might've been scared sh/tless and began shooting.

But they acted properly, thankfully.

Just Damn!

The dog bit the Officer K.K. Miller on his left wrist so he shot him in the leg.

Here, it appears that Officer Friendly shot the dog IN RETALIATION for being bit.

you're on a roll !
