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.

The Koreans would. But shopkeepers are not resisting the flash mobs and those are happening here now.

No, it's Medieval.

Now, what we've been allowed to read?

What is that? Do you imagine the internet is a "conspiracy"? Hmm! I went digging for more information and there it was. The guy was violent; he was a nut case; just a matter of time, and all because somebody decided he ought to be out there walking around in public and allowed to violate EVERYONE ELSE'S property rights@

A cop (or anyone else) has every right to defend himself against a possible dog attack.

Not if you work for the Census. It's odd that the number of 2010 Decennial Census workers attacked by dogs was miniscule, despite having to visit every residence in the country (some more than once!).

Of course, Census workers don't get to gleefully spray lead around at people's dogs (and Tase the owners) if somebody RESISTS!!!

Maybe in the 2020 Census, and they'll be taught in the training sessions to say "we were just doing our jobs"...

"Northhampton County DA John Morganelli just said he is personally prosecuting this guy and he is going for the Death Penalty."

Translation: They're going to blow as many taxpayer dollars as they need to show the other peasants who's BOSS.

It was interesting looking at the pictures from the various local news websites. It was Law Encroachment Senior Skip Day fer sure! Of course, all the Law Encroachment vehicles & ossifers were there on their own dime, I'm sure...

BTW: "The Morning Call of Allentown reports that Lasso was the son of borough Councilman Donald Lasso, a longtime member of the fire department and its former chief."

The FR Law & Order types forget that our Elite Norman Masters and their Kettenhunde ignore the laws, because Laws Are For The Little People.

Anybody foaming for "full enforcement of the Law" apparently wasn't here, or apparently wasn't paying attention when Billy Clinton flipped off a federal judge to her face, and got away with it...

I could bring up Eliot Spitzer or Charlie Rangel or Timmmmmmy Geithner, but you get my drift.

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.

LOL! Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a cop-hater, too...:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest to do his job, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Another thing, the plane that hit the Pentagon actually flew South around the Beltway and turned left DIRECTLY OVER MY HOME.

The passengers on that flight were still operating under the old "interfere with a hijacking and be charged with a Federal felony" rules. God rest FReeper Barbara Olson's soul that she didn't get to get a piece of them like they did over Pennsylvania.

You could let terrorists onto planes with guns, they'd STILL get the crap kicked out of them, or have to kill everyone on board in the process.

The TSA is a bad joke.

Dogs are livestock ~ nothing more.

Well, except for police dogs. They're just as Kettenhund as the human Kettenhunde.

” on a thread about the MURDER of a cop doing his job, is beyond the pale.”

You are quite a lowlife POS. Their is nothing to laugh at on this thread.

This started as a thread about the murder of a cop, yet instead of seeing this as a tragedy and a loss of a good man, you and other arrogant ass-wipes immediately side with his killer, celebrate the officers death and try to justify his killing.

You can take your peabrain comments and shove them.

You can thank God Almighty that you are not laughing at this garbage to me in person....you can have no concept for how serious I am.

May Officer Robert Lasso RIP.

The local Police State escalated the situation, and one of the Holy Trinity of the Left got killed. Law Encroachment Senior Skip Day ensues. Local persecutor promises taxpayer money bonfire. Local media slimes accused.

Am I missing anything?

Hell, we don't even know if the local Stasi was responding to a complaint involving Hitcho.

The articles are very artfully worded when it comes to the salient points, and leave out a lot of information.

Police dogs continue to be edible ~ but maybe not by their worshippers. Anubis would be so proud of his followers.

The other issue is the planes landing in the suburbs.

Wonder if the Blue Gang worships The Dog-Headed One?

Dozens of police cars responded to the 400 block of New Street, where shocked neighbors watched the police activity from the sidewalks.

When all is said and done, this little exercise in shock & awe for the Saxon peasant dogs is going to cost the taxpayers MILLIONS.

Authorities provided few other details about the shooting or the disturbance that led up to it. Teper said witnesses from the neighborhood are still being questioned and search warrants are being sought.

“We’re in the early stages of this investigation,” Teper said. “We will be working around the clock on this investigation.”

What is there to investigate, other than how much of that SWEET OVERTIME they can peel off while they're browbeating the peasants?

He said Lasso’s wife, Jennifer, teaches in the Bethlehem Area School District...

The Holy Trinity is represented in spades, with a politician thrown in for good measure. He was a policeman, she's a teacher, his father was a fire chief & and now borough Councilman. There was a time when a government job was one step above welfare. Not no more....

One last note: I'm beginning to wonder how he was going to deal with the TWO dogs that were "attacking" him and his chief? Did he have one of those "double Tasers", or a doublebeeber that can take out multiple assailants? What's up with that?

The reason a police dog is attacking in almost every instance is because it is doing it’s job at the orders of his handler and is in the performance of it’s trained duties.

The Nazis had trained dogs to eat Jews This was mostly done by the following members of the Gestapo: Heine, Mueller, Blum, Camp Commandant Willhaus, and others whose names escape me.

People would be beaten till they nearly died, then dogs would then be set on them to tear them to pieces.

good post...I tire of being called a cophater around here, when in reality, the bulk of the problem lies in the legislation, and enforcement of Rights degrading *law* that has no foundation in the the 'rule of law'...

im a black and white kinda guy...all these 'grey areas' of citizen vs po-po are 'self defense' zones...

Every time I see one of your posts, it's crazier than the last one.

If you’d tune in on a regular basis you’d see a continuum.
