None of which would have happened if the dog had been in its fenced in yard.

Before you continue to defend bad cops, you especially need to see the 24 min 18 sec video.

There are plenty of reasonable alternatives to the situation that did not involve FOUR shots to a dog lying down on the ground. Bad aim + Bad shooting + bad cops = Do not defend.

You are either a cop, or a dog hater, or both.

So, if any animal is roaming the neighborhood, regardless of it’s demeanor or behavior, it’s open season.

Fire at will in a residential neighborhood.

No judgement required. Just abject, sadistic bloodlust.

Just react like a stinkin’ neanderthal.

Got it.

You continue to make faulty assumptions. We don’t know how the dog got out. What we do know is that the police demonstrated quite clearly that they were not interested in “serving” the public.

Nearly every pet owner has to deal with escapes from time to time, it's one of the many problems pet owners have.

BUT, you would have every pet not in a fenced yard shot on sight, regardless if the dog was easily identified by neighbors, or by the required dog tags. Well, that will certainly cut down on the number of pets in the country. What parent wants to come home to crying children every time a pet gets out and is shot for it's transgression?

You surely would make one lousy pet owner, unless it was a 'police dog' you could take to work with you, and let roam at will 'cuz 'he's a cop'.

Yes, as long as our dogs never manage to get out, we won't have to worry about cops gunning them down with M-4s. It's the owner's fault - the retard who used a war weapon to kill a dog hiding in the bushes is blameless.

You ate paint chips for snacks as a child, didn't you.

Not True....There was a case recently where a dog owner had an invisible fence and the cops shot it dead. We live in a police state now and it will only get worse.

According to the reports the dog got out from a fenced yard. You have never had an animal get out of your care? Accidents never happen in your world? Wish I could live on your planet. BTW I'm a former state trooper and there are a number of cops I wouldn't let have a slingshot much less a gun. Too many Robo cops for my liking. Many act like little gods and should not be on any police force. I do not know the individuals involved but there is a mentality of shoot first that was not prevalently 25 years ago. Officers used much more common sense and were much more laid back than now. Not sure if it is just changed times but we took the job seriously and used our heads more than out weapons.

“None of which would have happened if the dog had been in its fenced in yard.”

The most polite thing I can bring myself to say to the likes of you is that you have quite a callous disregard towards life and the feelings of others. The dog was not feral, it was a pet with a family that loved it. So it got out of it’s yard, (even a dumbass knows that accidents happen and shouldn’t warrant a death sentence). The dog was not bothering anyone until officer friendly began to harrass it. If the cops couldn’t handle it themselves they should have called animal control, but then officer trigger happy wouldn’t have a chance to FINALLY kill something. It’s cops with attitudes like yours that turn former police supporters into opponents.
