Doggie lives matter.
Was the owner with the dog, or did the owner let this blind and deaf dog wander?
In reading the article, the dog had no collar and behaved strange, because it was both blind and deaf. The neighbor who found it called the police to take care of it.
I say this is a sad, but justifiable dog death.
The owner was an idiot and fully responsible for this situation.
I read the article.
1) Blind and deaf dog wandered out of its owner’s property into a neighbor’s property.
2) Neighbor found the dog, played with it peacefully for a while, then
3) Neighbor called the cops for help finding the dog’s owner.
4) Cop showed up and shot the dog several times, killing it.
5) Police investigation revealed that the cop did everything perfectly. Because of course it did.
6) But the cops are now all going to be sent to animal control school. Because their claim in (5) above is BS
How about putting myron the moron down? Seems he deserves it for just being plain stupid. With any luck at all this will ruin his life. I hope it does.
Another new low for jack-booted cop thuggery.
Really small town if the cop is wearing jeans and a shirt.
Reminds me of the small town cop in Kemp, TC who gunned-down a pot-belly pig in a backyard. He thought it was a wild hog. (He was a city boy). He was fired.
Nobody looks good in this case, including the owner.
His dogs were not properly secured. One of his 2 dogs dug a hole near the fence. That little blind dog escaped through that openi. Conclusion: the owner did not have his dogs properly fenced and adequately secured. So very likely, his blustery lawsuit vs the police is going nowhere.
I wish there’s be this much outrage when babies are killed…
It was coming right for him.
So the cop made a mistake about an anima. Can’t we cut him some slack with our outrage?
Since when to cops shoot strays?
I’ve heard too many stories of them not gunning down a pit bull that was seen actively attacking another animal or person.
And yet this loser does a small dog like that?
That said, the owner was negligent to let a dog that incapacitated roam at all. Be responsible and keep it under your eye and control.

Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!
Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?
Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.
He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.
Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…
Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.
Eric Olsen: Sure.
Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?
Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.
Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.
Eric Olsen: What?
Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.
Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?
Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways
Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?
Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.
And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…
Eric Olsen: What would cause one…
Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not
Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.
Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.
Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?
Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.
Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.
Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.
Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...
Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

There was a time when killing small animals and pets was regarded as warning signs of severe psychological issues.
I could hardly read this story last night.
The cop thought the dog was a stray. What gives him the right to shoot strays on sight?
Hope he pays for this terrible injustice to that poor animal.
First I heard of it was on YouTube, “The Civil Rights Lawyer”
https://youtube.com/watch?v=OrHL2URBXWk&si=iPP2VUEFE2Fz1DNg
The story is making it’s rounds, as it should!
“Mistakes” by people with a gun are inexcusable. When you pull the trigger you are responsible for the effects of the bullet. I was taught that by a cop in pistol safety class.
Excuses are not acceptable.
If he would shoot a small dog with no threat, what would this idiot do to a person he “perceived” as dangerous? He is lacking any judgment and obviously any intelligence. He is the dangerous one.
