I guess that if dogs are going around serving warrants, and taking away the work of the Troopers, then they deserve to be shot. Good jobs are hard to find. Dogs should stick to their own business of guarding their masters, not serving warrants.

There is no compensation or “apology” that could ever make up for the illegal intrusion of property and killing one of my best friends in the world.

While I have the utmost respect for LEO, there are a few too many trigger happy cops out there. THANK GOD my municipality’s LEO are **cool**.

Rumor has it in PA that if you can’t get on with a municipality, you try to be a county cop. If that doesn’t work, you try being a State Trooper. Based on what I know about Troopers assigned to “state” enforcement of things, intelligence isn’t #1 on the criteria.

In fact, “my best friend” has more intelligence than what I’ve experienced.

While you’re at it, you might was well design one for the LEO that decided to shoot up the neighbors yard and kill the family dog. “I was really stupid” would probably suffice.

Me too. My blood boils every time I read a story about animals doing their job, people making mistakes, and animals losing their lives.

“It’s a brave new world out there Jethro.”

And you’re falling prey to it. Your bureaucratic masters want you to just sit down and shut up, and just move and speak when they tell you to. You seem ready for Hillaryland.

“We don’t got nothing,” Dill said.


You have bad grammar.

Let the dog’s owner shoot and kill the trooper. Then we’ll call it even.

Just to emphasize the family-pet side of this story:

You think your cops are your friends.

WRONG.

Any cop messes with my dogs, dies. I fully expect I’ll die too. But that’s the deal.

Boy, the paramilitary police forces just can’t seem to shoot enough dogs, can they?

I don't know about other states, but here in Florida. the FHP (Florida Highway patrol) seems to attract nothing but rednecks who seem to be poorly trained and very arrogant.

I don't say that lightly....I passed "Police Standards" years ago, and they seem to ignore its precautions.

The job attracts a LOT of control freaks and they are constantly degrading an honorable profession in the eyes of the public and are making the truly dedicated law enforcement officers (and there are still many..against all odds) look bad.

Way to go, cowboy cops.

Dream on! The thought of getting Hillary and Shaky Jake Reno back in power seems to be bringing out the bloodlust among the worst of the needledick jackboots, drooling for the chance to recreate the fires of Waco in every city on the map.

The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.

“This kind of crap is happening FAR, FAR too often these days.”

I bet they were in full combat gear wearing masks and ninja clothing. They were all testosteroned up and all for someone wanted on a minor charge.

Now what if it had been the homeowner who surprised them and not the dog? The small-ville ninja’s would still probably say the owner bit them.. or maybe throw down a “throw down” gun.

LEO’s need to stop dressing up as combat troops unless they want to go to Iraq. This is another case of them getting all into their role as troops and forgetting (ignoring) who they serve and are accountable to.

I have a dog too, but I know the difference between a dog and a human.

I hope they get a very large settlement and the motherf-ing a-hole who shot the dog gets fired.
