I don't know anything about this. Why were they trying to capture the dog?
I didn't see any babies in that video just a dog being shot for no particular reason, you should be outraged but based on your assessment of someone who was raped being insignificant because they are a prostitute I can't say I'm surprised.Originally Posted by BushMasterBoy
not sure what the circumstances were but the dog was in its garage during the whole video until they pulled it out and the officer shot it. sorry but you can't do that. If it were my dog I'd want charges pressed as well.
I would venture to guess this will probably ruin his law enforcement career if he is convicted.
Convicted fellows can't be in possession of firearms after all.
But let's not forget, he is innocent of all charges at this point. He is only charged with the crime. The prosecutor will have to prove his guilt in a court of law.
That's what it looked like to me too, but I don't know the facts. From the video it looked to me like the dog never left the garage and was simply barking at people coming at him. Darn near every other dog would do the same thing.
So I guess it comes down to why they were trying to get him. Did he bite a neighborhood kid? Did they need to enter the garage to search it? Or was he simply off leash and someone called the dog catcher?
A neighbor called animal control because of a barking dog. The police and animal control arrived and did nothing for nearly 30 minutes, the dog just sat in the garage and then the officers made the decision to do what you see on the video.
The dog was in the garage and one officer hit twice with a tazer which is when it retreats back into the garage. Then it just wants to get away from the persons that just shot it with the tazer, the animal control officer gets the catch pole on it as it tries to run by and the one officer opens fire on a captured dog and kills it. At least one round completely missed and hit the animal control officer's truck and fragments of another round were found across the street in a neighbors driveway.
I am pro LE all the way but these guys were wrong, lied on their reports and the city administration lied about it until the video came out and they had to back track and actually start a "real" investigation. I hope that the charges stand and the officers, that violated their public trust, are prosecuted the same way you or I would be if we had pulled the trigger on a animal and then lied about it.

911 call as the dog was in front of the caller's house going apeshit.
This cop is an idiot for discharging his sidearm so recklessly, however I have ZERO sympathy for the dog owner. She left her dog with a friend and that friend didn't keep the dog restrained. The dog was on SOMEONE ELSE's property, and needed to be removed.
On boy... Here we go... Someone pass the pop corn.
Just saying, read the article and listen to the tape of the 911 calls, that's all. People are acting like this dog was on the owner's property and it wasn't. COMPLETELY changes the dynamic of the situation. Cop was a dumbass no doubt, but the whole thing could have been avoided if the owner and the person she left the dog with would have been responsible in the first place.
