What proof do we have for the shooting being justified? Was the “vicious dog” found to have been wearing a maga collar?
Aggressive pitbulls that are allowed to threaten the public should be shot, along with their irresponsible owners.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
FBI vs. loose Pit Bull. Hard call. But leaning pro FBI on this one.
Would have thought there would have been some professional courtesy between groups that are known to harbor out of control violent memebers, though.
Cuz I can, is gonna need to move and get a new place.
Hell, they had no qualms about shooting Mrs. Weaver, the murderous Waco incident,Lavoy Finnecum, and God knows how many other innocents so why would they care about a doggie?
Silly question.
The proof is that she's an FBI Agent, and can shoot whoever, whatever, and whenever she feels like it.
You may have just qualified for a free trip to a re-education facility, comrade.
“...so why would they care about a doggie?”
As soon as I read that it was a pit bull, case closed.
Justified shooting.
Good point. I forgot they are above the law and thereby unaccountable to America’s concerns.
Not guilty.
“Put simply, violence is never the answer,” said Jacqueline Maguire, who is Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division. “Violating the FACE Act by committing a physical assault is a serious crime for which the FBI will work to hold offenders accountable.”

I’m guessing that SAIC Maguire has a DOUBLE STANDARD when it comes to use of violence. “LETHAL FORCE IS OK FOR ME BUT A GENTLE PUSH OF A BULLY IS NOT OK FOR THEE.”
Even on the dance floor.
There is video. According to the source, who was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing probe, the video shows Maguire sitting on a bench with her small dog in her lap as a woman walking two other dogs passed by. One of the dogs — Mia — suddenly dragged her owner toward Maguire, snatched the small dog off the agent’s lap, and began aggressively shaking it, the source said.
Maguire threw herself into the fight and tried to separate the animals, eventually drawing her weapon and placing it directly against the pit bull’s hindquarters before firing, the source said.
I have a retired friend who does lots of walking and has had a couple of encounters with aggressive dogs. He now cares a "dog sedative" that dispenses sedatives at 9mm a dose that he says he'll apply until sedation is complete.
Never knew they had something like that available, mailman and delivery folks could use a device like that.
If that is accurate, that would be a totally justified shooting. If a pitbull attacked my Black Lab, I’d damn well roll straight into that fight and if necessary, would put a round through the pit bull’s skull with my concealed carry.
A female cop actually hit a dog with her service firearm, wow, unlucky dog.
