Officer charged in Commerce City dog shooting

[SuperiorDG]

An officer who fatally shot a dog in Commerce City will be charged with a felony, the district attorney's office has announced.

Commerce City Police Officer Robert Price was filmed last month shooting 3-year-old Chloe, a mixed breed dog.
Police asked the district attorney's office to conduct an investigation into the incident.
According to a news release from the office, investigators found evidence to charge Price with aggravated cruelty to animals.
Other parts of the case are still under investigation.
The home made video was posted on social media and quickly sparked questions and anger from animal advocates and pet lovers.
In a statement after the incident, police called the dog "vicious."
"For the safety of the community and the officers on scene, the officer fired his weapon multiple times to put down the dog and ensure the safety of everyone," police said.
An animal control officer who was also present had a catch pole noose around Chloe, but police said the dog remained agitated and uncontrolled.

Hmm. I figured there'd be charges. But I didn't expect felony charges.

Cop was just convicted in a rape case out of Denver PD. I was surprised, but if you wear a badge you have to be impeccable on duty. I still have my doubts, as she was a known prostitute and heroin addict. Too bad about the dog shooting, but if the dog somehow ripped a babys face off and it was filmed...the whole world be up in arms! They would be screaming why didn't the police do something! I am betting this whole thing is dropped.
I am also betting politics in involved in this prosecution.
