8 shots for a pug?!
A swift boot could have handled it.
I generally support the police on anything, but I know Dogs and this was a friggin Pug. Cmon, let the little turd chew on your Pants and have Grandma get him.
Just another isolated incident...
The cops sure seem to be after Grannies. Read a story on FR today where they tazed an 86 year old granny. Must have been tea partiers. And the pug too.
The granny said she doesn’t want any apology, she wants them all fired and hire somebody that knows what they’re doing.
Go grannie. Drugs or no drugs, when the cops go into a bathroom where they know a little dog is and shoot it eight times when granny warns them and begs them- I’m on grannies side.
Another needle-d***, trigger-happy oinker “saves the day”!!!!
Wow, if I hadn’t read the article, I’d have sworn that an LEO in Florida had done the shooting. This type of thing is more than just a little bit up their alley.
A pug? A pug?
Just wait, someone will be here shortly justifying this.
Something is mentally wrong with a man who would shoot a 13 year old smash faced pug. Keeping the officer on the force is a disaster waiting to happen.
If nothing else this moron should be laughed off of the team he was on. More likely than not, he’ll get a minor reprimand.
Personally, I wouldn’t want this guy within 10 miles of me while he has a loaded weapon and is conducting any type of “operation”.
There’s not a lot of exposure to the various dog breeds, apart from pit bulls, in the ‘hood. I’m sorry to say it but that’s the truth.
It’s OK guys the shooting was justified. They found drug paraphenalia. We are now closer to winning the war on civil liberties! Um, I mean drugs......
The worst part is right in the headline. I could understand shooting the dog during, or even before raiding the wrong house. Afterwards they should be more interested in fixing the doors they kicked in. Cops 1, Innocent Pet Owner 0.
They shot and killed a PUG?!
A 13 year old PUG?!
They shot it EIGHT times?!
Abso-freakin-lutely NO excuse for that. None. Strong arm tactics like that, and boneheaded things like RAIDING THE WRONG HOUSE are what justifiably cause people to have real trust issues with “law enforcement.”
Hey, you wanna search my house? Knock on my door, in broad daylight, with a couple of uniforms and and if necessary a detective or two. FIRST THING, present me with the WARRANT. I’ll shut up my little dogs — who wouldn’t harm you ANYWAY. I’ll call my lawyer, and you can search my house. That’s Constitutional.
YOu bust down my door in the dead of night with weapons screaming and wake me from a sound sleep, ALL I know is some fools with guns are invading my home. And I start shooting the invaders — because THAT is what they INVITE by their tactics. Home invasions by criminals happen too often nowadays. When you can’t tell the difference between cops and criminals tactics — where does that leave the citizen at 3am as his door is kicked down by armed men in the dark shooting his dog...?
first, shoot the dog...Oh no! Not again!
Prince Valiant at your service!
In the LEO’s operations manual the first thing to do when invading the wrong house is to shoot the family dog ....
