Officer charged in Commerce City dog shooting

I'm sorry, you're right, EVERYTHING in this situation is all the Cop's fault, the owner of the dog has no stake in it besides being a victim. [Bang]

Pretty much.

Good god, wtf ever happened to people taking responsibility for their own actions, you know, like leaving a dog in the custody of someone who's not responsible enough to take care of it. If you love your dog so much why wouldn't you put it with someone who'll actually take proper care of it?

All or nothing, eh? Figures. [fail]


Yes, I'm all about personal responsibility. How about exercising a little bit of it, and placing responsibility where it belongs - on the person who let the dog out. Is there previous history that shows the person who was watching the dog wasn't responsible enough? Or is this the first time they've done something like this? Unless you have factual knowledge that the owner was aware that the person who was watching the dog is irresponsible, I'd say the owner made a good effort at responsibility. Being the owner, they maintain some responsibility. However, SO DOES THE PERSON WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING THE DOG. [Bang]

Lumping 100% of the blame on the owner is the lazy way out of this situation. The world isn't black and white, slick.

This whole situation was a fail all the way around, from the animal control officer that did not/could not gain control of the animal, to trigger happy, to Commerce City trying to play CYA in the aftermath only to be outed in the video and then to try and backstroke faster than Micheal Phelps.

Fail!

I agree. I hope this officer finds himself in the "free cheese" line. With that many officers there and the animal control officer has the catch pole around the dog's neck, they should've handled that differently. Sad.

beat me to it..

The guy may have made a mistake. The video is non conclusive. Doubtful the state will get a felony conviction. They will however spend a lot money in this process.
