Officer charged in Commerce City dog shooting

[wctriumph]

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.

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.
