FREEMANSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Authorities say a police officer slain while responding to a domestic disturbance in a small eastern Pennsylvania borough had pointed a stun gun at two dogs before being shot.

The Morning Call of Allentown reports Freemansburg police Officer Robert Lasso had pointed at the attacking dogs when the homeowner pulled out a shotgun and fired the fatal blast Thursday evening.

"Robert, he was so good," said his mother, Elsie Stem.

He just had this little bitty thing for shooting peoples' dogs.

A police officer comes on a man's property without a warrant and go to shoot his dogs. If he had no wararnt then he was engaging in arbitrary destruction of private property and was not doing so in the performance of any "duty." That is destroying a man's property without doing the paperwork first. That makes it arbitrary and obnoxious. I suppose the killing of the King's Agent deserves the death penalty under any circumstances, though.

Stun guns that police use now look and apparently feel like standard lead producing pistols reference the officer in California who murdered the bum at the train station and used as his excuse that he thought he was drawing his taser.

Don’t worry about jury duty, you’re too stupid to be selected.

You nose pickers make me sick.

“Can Article 4 be ignored in the case of domestic violence?”

For it to be ignored, a search pursuant to a domestic violence case would have to be unreasonable.

why the riots in Britain won’t be coming here.

We already have them here but American thugs have an American style. We call them Flash Mobs and there is no resistance to them. No looters have been shot by gun-possessing Americans. They form, do their destruction and looting and leave before police respond and store owners do not resist them nor do any armed bystanders. The Sikhs and Hindus in Britain and the Koreans in LA show up the Armed Americans pretty handily.

A search without a warrant in NO case should be valid. Period.

Such a request would be welcomed by these low life half wit keyboard commando’s.

Such foolishness.... if they actually acted like they post, they would already be in prison or dead. Punk boy big mouths that probably can’t even tie their own shoes.

I am quite sick of this “kill the cop” crap. I could go to any jail dayroom and listen to the same perverted talk and warped thought process.

Most of these morons shouldn’t even be allowed on a real conservative forum such as FR. Punks, they are nothing but loud mouth punks.

So do you ALWAYS just jump in and start calling folks names, just because they’ve had an opinion you don’t like? In a FREE society you have to hear a lot of stuff you don’t like. Deal with it like a man. Suck it up and shrug it off... or point out just where and WHY you disagree with the other person. That’s the GROWN-UP way to do it. Put your big girl panties on and stop acting like a three year old.

You bet by golly, back in the good old days. Yep, back in the days when real men were men and beat the living shit out of their women.

Yes indeed, it’s a shame that more little kids can’t witness their mom on the floor bleeding, screaming and begging for mercy. Of course all that scary noise quiets down after she’s dead.

I don’t don’t have anything more to say to you, because your post is just too stupid and you don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

Good God but you are stupid! Totally captured by the feminist propaganda about how it was in the “bad old days” before we had the friendly police coming in to kill our dogs and haul us off to jail. Oh well, I’ll leave you to stew in you own foul fantasy world, no sense casting pearls before swine.

Generally no.

Usually I only pick on obvious trolls.

I generally leave even the cop haters alone, because I consider them too stupid to bother with, but for this conversation to have deteriorated so damn low, on a thread about the MURDER of a cop doing his job, is beyond the pale.

You are invited to take your tripe and shove it.

Oh, I am a grown-up and all to intimately familiar with this entire subject.

“.... because your post is just too stupid and you don’t have a clue what you are talking about.”

Thank you for again proving my point.

You and I have made a serious mistake, we’ve started to feed the Trolls. The guy is probably some 14 year old in his mothers basement right now laughing at how he’s getting a rise out of us. Oh well, moving on ...
