Cop took just 3 seconds to shoot dog

What IS the right thing? Randomly stopping motorists to see if they have had "one too many", or they are not wearing their seat belt, or, coming, their helmet in the car?

Until the mentality of presumed guilt instead of innocence is reversed, I would have to believe that anyone wanting to enter the field of law enforcement at this time must be on a power trip of some kind.

You missed the point. The whole incident would not have happened if the cops had listened to the people they were harrassing. The cops need to be able to evaluate behavior at some level and separate ordinary citizens who are concerned about a legitimate issue the cops may be ignoring from criminals who are trying to hide something. It should have been clear to the cops from the outset that a terrible mistake had been made. I speak from personal experience on this. Some cops just don't exercise good judgement and those cops pose as much danger to us ordinary citizens as criminals do.

guys like this hot dog

weiner, wanker, parts is parts???

...Anyone with an IQ above room temperature should have figured out within 5 seconds that these were NOT bank robbers...

Gee, Bill...I sure wish I had your clairvoyance! Why think of all the Lotto winning numbers I could "figure out in 5 seconds".

Have you ever considered going to work for Miss Cleo? There is money to be made in the Fortune Telling Biz.

Just like the woman BATF officer that stomped the kitten of another family to death, smiling the whole time in ecstasy, while on another bogus police-raid of law-abiding citizens...

Woah, when did this happen? Shooting dogs is bad enough, but killing kittens?

[Dimensio]

How DARE you suggest such a disrespectful thing to an officer of the law! The law is absolute, and its enforcers can do no wrong! You are to report to a government facility for re-education immedeately. Then you'll sound like some of the other (minority) FReepers here who are defending these pigs.

Watch the video. That dog was wagging its tail!!! Dogs don't wag their tails when they are attacking anyone.

Not only that, but there was a clear bounce in its step, which any dog owner will recognize as a sign of a friendly, non-aggressive attitude.

It seems honesty and integrity have a good man in you in Georgia. I agree with you about taxpayers footing the bill. I suppose there is no one to police the police. They are above the law. When it comes to cops, suspicion and contempt is my watchword. If cops don't want to get a bad rep from the small percentage (is it small?) of bad cops, then they had better start firing and jailing bad cops. Until they do that, cops don't deserve my admiration or support and won't get it.

[exmarine]

BATF - isn't those the jackbooted thug agency that got their comeuppance at Waco when they made an illegal raid, and then participated in the murder of the children out of revenge later on? Yup. I think that's them. Heinrich Himmler and Rudyard Heidrich would be proud of this group!

[Dan Day]

Did you even look at the video, Einstein? The dog is almost in the cop's lap, when he shoots. How many situations like that have you been in?

Several hundred. Dogs like me.

I have yet to feel the need to blow one's head off.

[renosathug]

Not only that, but there was a clear bounce in its step

Well that Barney of a cop sure showed that dog that it is illegal to bounce in TN!

[AUgrad]

Perhaps you should read more before making that statement. The older officers are complaining locally about this new generation...because the new generation would rather do steroids and shoot things than to "protect and serve".

I've noticed the same thing myself.I am sometimes around LEOs in the course of my work. Most of the older cops (40+) are generally helpful and sincere. It's the young roid monsters with something to prove that are the problem.

, smiling the whole time in ecstasy, while on another bogus police-raid of law-abiding citizens...

No one know if he was smiling because they wear ski masks when they do this stuff.

Woah, when did this happen?

About 4 years ago in NC I think. Raided the house of a gun show promoter and stomped the kitten flat. No consequences (of course).

[exmarine]

Only a sociopath could sleep at night after participating in the terrorization of that family. Seeing that video enrages me, especially seeing the mug of that hillbilly police chief on TV. What's his name, Roscoe P. Coletrain? And watching those trigger-happy thugs surround that car like they were escaped convicts, circling the car like executioners! Unbelievable! No leadership whatsoever in that police department - a bunch of malicious little boys reliving their childhoods when they played cops and robbers! I can't watch that video again - it makes me too angry. My Marine Corps blood is boiling!

[spokanite]

"BTW did anyone else hear the 911 call where a lady states the car was doing 110 mph ?? And money was being thrown out of the car ??? When the man just left his wallet on top of the car. And at 110 if she saw it that fast.....the wallet would have flown off the roof well before that speed was reached...."


What this woman did could be the beginning of things to come. Tick someone off while you're driving down the road and a cell phone call to the police is made. You could be made out to be a hardened criminal by that call. Next thing you know, you're pulled over, yanked out of your car a gun point, hand cuffed and hauled off to jail. All because of a cell phone call made by someone you may have tick off.

Too far-fetched?

I'l be watching and listening!

[Nuke'm Glowing]

It's sad. I think the television show "COPS" is as much of a problem as the roid rage...

[Dick Bachert]

Sounds like you've had some really BAD experiences with LE people.

FYI, that cop mentioned in the gun control context is here in Georgia.

And I don't appreciate your calling me a liar.

[Dan Day]

until the dog attacked the human. Too bad. Bad dog!

If you can see an "attack" in the video, then you're just as clueless, reckless, and irresponsible as the so-called "police officer", and you shouldn't be in a position of authority either.

The dog VERY CLEARLY was not attacking. The officer is either a complete idiot, or dangerously trigger-happy. Either way, he has amply demonstrated his uniftness for duty. How long before he similarly grossly misreads the actions/attitude of a non-agressive *human* and shoots *them*?

He needs to be off the force immediately. And I'm likewise not at all impressed with *your* judgement.

[headsonpikes]

"...and stomped the kitten flat."

I'm sure you've got chapter and verse to justify this, too, Mr. W. Sepulchre.

Just where did I call you a liar?
