Let's see halfa** pet owner fails to keep large dog on property and its the cops fault, guess if someone had run over it it would have been the drivers fault. Take a little personal responsibility pet owners.

But does a dog simply running loose deserve to be killed?

From a related article:Rosie got out of her yard last Sunday and started roaming the streets. Officers chased, tazered and tried to grab Rosie. But couldn't catch her.

Rosie made it to a neighbors yard and hid in the bushes.

When police arrive they say she showed her fangs and growled at them. That's when they shot and killed her.


So the dog somehow got loose...it happens occasionally...the dog runs away from the cops...hides in a neighbors yard, and when cornered by the cops growls and bares fangs (note--did not attack the cops...and we only have their words that the dog displayed aggression)....

Ok...I agree...the cops had to kill the dog to save it.

BTW....where was animal control, and why didn't the cops wait????

No one has made that argument. However, the cops ARE responsible for declaring “Just kill him”, and shooting a dog unnecessarily.

Bad cops need to go; they give the Good Cops a bad name, and make it harder for them to do their jobs.

Don’t defend bad cops.

There are TWO VERY SEPERATE ISSUES.

To put them together is illogical and doesn’t address either issue.

#1. Yes, owners who let dogs run loose should be held more responsible..Fine them big time.fine.

#2. Police acting brutally macho-— a dog-fighting band of brothers types in this case——and unprofessionally make me very nervous..now its “just a dog”..but we have plenty of videos with the police brutality with people.
I support the police, they have a tough job, there are many good cops. But this crap and any police brutality has made my view of them very very different.

Look, bud. Responsible pet owners do, but dogs sometimes get loose.

These cops should be fired and sued into abject poverty and homelessness for what they did. What’s truly disgusting is you “Cops-can-do-no-wrong” JBT boot lickers that always show up in these threads to justify what some imbecile with a badge has done when he screwed the poochm (pun intended).

BTW, Mr Whodat....the Aints suck. There’s only one good team in America who wears Black and Gold.
