That video suggests to me that the shooting could have been justified.It doesn’t prove it because you can’t be sure what happened off camera.That stuff about the signs is BS,assuming that the cops had legitimate business at that home...which sounds as if was the case (missing person).If I was on a jury and that video was shown I would conclude that it was at least as likely as not that the shooting was legit,therefore...”not guilty”...”not responsible”.
” it was at least as likely as not that the shooting was legit, therefore...”not guilty”...”not responsible”.
Did they have a warrant? Were they not trespassing? Should they be allowed to open the front door and walk in the house and shoot their pet dog? Why not? The door to their property was the front gate, in the fence. They can’t just walk in without permission. It’s the same as their front door.
What if an unarmed teenager rushed the cop? Should they just shoot the teenager? The teenager might bite them.
These are “trigger happy” cops who have been trained to see ANY threat, as life threatening allowing lethal force to be used. This is nonsense. They won’t die from a dog bite IF and I say IF the dog was going to bite them.
I know from 35 years of going to peoples homes every day as a stranger and my uniformed wife for 30 years going to hundreds of locations (homes) a day, that we are very much alive and well. We never had to shoot a dog, well, we never would have shot any dog if we were armed. You see we were not cowards. We were not afraid of dogs. We knew they were 99% bark. You could tell the ones that might cause you harm, so you would be cautious and take precautions to protect yourself. Also I can tell you the breed has nothing to do with it.
In my opinion, it is NEVER, I say NEVER, necessary for a cop to shoot a dog.
We have 4 German Shepherds.At least 2 will make it to a shooter and rip his(or her)head off.
And Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve just heard from the LEO can do no wrong side.
What??????? The cops were responding to a call by the homeowner, not a crime scene.
Let me put it into perspective for you. Somebody vandalized your garage, you call the cops who come to your house to take the report. Cops come into your fenced in yard which is "signed" and subsequently shoot your dog which is barking wildly because of the strangers.
YOU'RE OK WITH THAT????????
How about waiting outside the fence until the homeowner can come outside and call in the dogs????
You've got about as much intelligence as the dumbass cop that shot the homeowners dog.......

Bull sh*t...The gate was clearly marked with dog warning signs.. Not one but *two* signs.
The cops completely ignored the warning sign and not only opened and walked right though the gate, but left the gate open.
No one in their f'n right mind would walk through a gate with multiple signs warning of dogs.
The cops could have easily contacted the homeowners so they could have secured their dogs first.
Once again, agents of the government are completely in the wrong and completely out of control.
After watching the clip I read your post and thought that you must be a jack-boot licker or just sarcastic. Then I read your tagline and I knew at that point you were being sarcastic so I went back and read it again.
It was at that point I fell out of my chair! CIVIL?!? really?
