Right.
How in tarnation do people that spend their entire careers going door to door, yard to yard on a DAILY basis ever survive without shooting dogs? Like postal workers, UPS etc...
It’s all total BS, not to mention many of these dangerous LEO pet shootings occur in neighborhoods, full of people, kids etc...
Another way of looking at this....
If you invited me onto your property and then your dog threatens me..
Yeah. It’s game on.
Since cops routinaly shoot pets and dogs, why are not all cops required to carry mace?
BTW, mace etc will not kill some innocent neighborhood kid 5 houses away.
I look at stories like this through the eyes of what would happen to a private citizen
if they reacted in the same way the law enforcement officer did.
There are just way too many instances of shooting of dogs and citizens because
the law enforcement officer claims they “felt threatened” in some way.
That “cell phone, toy gun, wii controller, walking cane, or whatever sure looked like a gun to me”.
Bullshit.
Why do cops shoot dogs?
Because they can.
I hope this idiot cop catches a bullet in the back of his head and someone leaves him to suffer.
Good a reasonable question.
When an aggressive dog is “maced,” you only have one chance to get to safety. The dog mace is only a distraction that allow YOU a chance to retreat.
That is true. However, dogs’ genes are set to investigate possible threats, bark furiously, and try to scare off intruders. So, unless the dog is extremely well trained, don’t take the risk of losing a canine friend.
You might be a bit slow, but once again, how in tarnation do people that spend their entire careers going door to door, yard to yard on a DAILY basis ever survive without shooting dogs to death? Like postal workers, UPS etc...
Lawyer is an ex-cop.
And if dogs are so damn deadly to LEO’s, where they literally open up in neighborhoods full of people, why are not postal workers, UPS and Fed Ex types, who go into yards many times PER DAY, not given firearms?
On the San Antonio news night before last, they showed the vid of the deputy, and cohorts on camera. It seemed they were laughing about the dog being shot.
Mr. Dooley needs to move far away from Texas. He is no longer welcome in Rains County .
I understand what you’re saying. And my situation is completely different than most people though.
Cops shoot dogs. Its what they do.
They shoot them her in Meridian too. Kick them first to get them agitated then bang. See a cop hide you dog cause sometimes the just need to kill something.
I second that!
“The next time you need to euthanize your pet, just call the cops.”
It’s about time cops who do this sort of thing are “euthanized” by the dog’s owner.
“If anyone ever shoots one of my animals on MY property they better be prepared to shoot me, cuz it’s game on. “
Exactly!
“Mr. Dooley needs to move far away from Texas. He is no longer welcome in Rains County.”
The next “news” I’d like to read is the Dooley has received his just “reward” for this act of extreme cruelty.
Did things work out well for him, the owner or the dog after he got out of the car and waited for the dog to charge him?
Please explain why you think that the deputy needed to rush to the scene of a burglary that was hours old? After all the deputy arrived 2 ½ hours after the call reporting the burglary. So how many hours head start did the criminals already have?
when good citizens start shooting police for killing their dogs, this may change. When the consequences of killing a dog become more than the hazard of being bit, police may be a little bit less prone to just unload on a family pet.
