Cop kills dog while at wrong address

[Rreemo]

An old one but another that reveals the "story" vs. reality (on someone's property to ask for directions in this case) claimed he was attacked until she came out with her security cam footage, then they tried to pay her off to not show it....I think in the end they paid her something like $25K for the dog's life.

$25,000 ain't shit... As soon as I saw him pause I was thinking why the hell doesn't he just get back in his car......

I think what the owner said was pretty spot on. It makes sense......

Man that is such such such such bullshit. God damn that pisses me off.

officer probably would have ended up shooting me too

x2...

My two dogs are my children. Shoot my dog while it's protecting me and my property, and the streets will run red with your blood..

For the life of me I still don't understand WHY we take officers at their word. Every day, more and more we're seeing stories of cops lying, misrepresenting the truth, or just not telling the whole story.

I think it's high time we stop accepting officers word and make them prove what they say, just like every other joe without a piece of $5 tin on their chest.

Its a shame the only recourse the home owner has is to sue the department.

Guns and dogs don't kill people, cops kill dogs and people...

I dont see the connection

I thought I linked to it but didn't. Yesterday, the driver of that pedicab posted on the Justice for Cisco page about it but looks like they deleted it since then. Guess they don't want it getting out that the guy criticizing the police for making a poor decision is a hypocrite.

Then it's ironic, not karmic.

I would be irate, the dog was just doing his job.

This was my exact frame of mind when I "trespassed" for a living.

I'm not about to hurt someone's dog when he was doing what he's supposed to. I had daily encounters with pissed off dogs, and they were even worse if the owner was present. I learned to always have something between you and the animal. Anything, a boot, my device I carried that looked like a big calculator, even my hat. Sometimes I would have to "feed" it to them, that is let them bite it while I stood my ground, and eventually they would get the message that I was the boss and I wasn't going anywhere. I never had to strike or even touch the dog to get compliance. I also never turned my back or took my attention away until I was out of their territory, and I was never bitten.

Many occupations have bite prevention training. To think a cop is not trained in this is and is told to do whatever is necessary, including discharging their firearm, to protect themselves while on someone's property is beyond absurd.

This cop should at the very least lose his job.

It was a freaking cattle dog, not a blood-crazed pit.

Jeebus.

[unkoricky]

Can someone teach me how to put my hands up and grab my dog at the same time while having a gun pointed at us?

LOL. A dog is a dog according to Dfwmustangs.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I see we do have the usual cop excuses though. Now I'd like to open the floor to wild emotional outbursts about how being a cop is so tough and they "get bit all the time by dogs!". Please proceed.

Would you like to see the 2 scars on my right arm and 4 scars on the back of my left leg?

What can we say. Dogs know an asshole when they see one. Maybe you should try to be less of an asshole.
