Distressing Video Shows Missouri Cop Gun Down Lost 13-Pound Deaf and Blind Dog: ‘What Am I Supposed to Do?’
New York Post ^ | May 24, 2024 | Katherine Donlevy

A Missouri police officer gunned down a beloved deaf and blind dog Sunday, first claiming he was putting it out of its misery before backtracking and saying the 13-pound pup made him fear for his life.

The disturbing killing was captured in the cop’s bodycam footage — and happened just three minutes after the officer arrived to find the escaped dog exploring a neighbor’s yard.

“If you watch the video, the dog is very playful and happy and kind of turned his head when he noticed somebody’s there, looking for somebody to touch him as he’s always done,” grieving owner Nicolas Hunter told The Post Friday night.

I was referring to, if the officer had taken the dog to the humane center as a job well done. Not shooting the dog.

You’ve proven yourself to not be so bright.

“There’s another thread on this article and the number of posters who supported the cop are disgusting.”

We have a lot of fascists and gestapo lovers here.

How was he supposed to know the dog was deaf and blind?

I think I’m clear, if you take the whole comment into consideration.

I was saying that, if the owner had chipped his pet which he might have and the officer had taken the dog to the humane centre where the owner would have been quickly located, it would have been a job well done.

I am certain I was pretty clear on that.

= = =

After the dog was shot, did the officer have it checked for a chip?

like he thinks the victim’s being deaf was a reason to kill him?

Obviously it’s too late at that point.
I don’t understand cops shooting obviously harmless dogs.

It would have taken 15 minutes of his time, with congrats from the community, if he had just taken it to the local humane centre.

My city police force is very good, I’m finding. We had a homeless guy bring in a dog, a pittie. She was very friendly and well-mannered. One of the offiers took it home to care for it until the owner was able to be located.

Then only justice possible here is "an eye for an eye".

So, the officer's pit bull should be killed?

No surprise here, considering he called me at home two Sundays ago threatening to press charges against me for throwing trash in a local dumpster. When I informed him it was my law office trash and I have been in that location for over eight years now, the conversation ended quickly. He’s always in our neighborhood pulling people over for doing two over, etc. My guess is he won’t be bothering us much longer.

He has no soul.

Hell is waiting for him.

Nothing would miss him if he was gone.

Heartbreaking. Unconscionable. I honestly hope Jamal burns in hell. The only one who would kill this wee dog is one of them.

Officer Myron Woodson working in the town of Sturgeon, Missouri.

He should be fired and sued. He should never be allowed to possess a firearm again.

It figures that a Ukraine cultist would support this subhuman excuse for a “cop”.

A little 13 pound, blind and deaf dog, made the big bad cop fear for his life ???
WTF??
I agree with you 💯%. This low life cop would never feel safe again, if he did this to my deaf dog.
