City pays family 20k for cop killing dog

[Forever_frost]

We aren't talking about me. We're talking about the "average" officer. I have used my ASP baton on one pit bull, and never have I shot at a dog.

And of all of the CPI dog shootings I have worked, not one round has caused collateral damage.

Then why comment? I wasn't aiming at you, I was responding to you calling me a ninja for expecting an officer who has had training dealing with taking down people and using those neat toys to actually use the neat toys in a non lethal manner.

Ya, good luck hitting a dog with a baton. I'll set you up with my pit and a baton and we'll see who wins. My dog and a friends once got into a fight(their dog started it). I started kicking the crap out of both dogs full force with steel toe boots to stop the fight, and they didn't even notice, no joke. Plus I got bit in the melee and let me tell you, dog bites are no joke. That shit hurts bad.

So in summary, if a dog was determined and got a hold if you, I guarantee you know matter how hard you hit it wouldn't matter. Of course this applies to certain breeds, miniature dachsunds and such don't apply.

Tase the dog.

I've never been bit. I am not scared of dogs and they know it. If you can't handle a dog without using a pistol, you probably should pick a different job.

Hit by three bullets, Baxter died three weeks later

Tough dog

Completely different scenarios.

A. Officers came onto property dog lives at and defends to the very end, he does what he is supposed to and is shot

B. Dog trespasses onto strangers property and aggressively pursues them.

Thought that was the case, but a little lazy to look. Yeah, completely different.

Ya know what, you're being about as stupid about it as what I hate seeing from the po-po. There are going to be plenty of times that there are justified shootings of dogs. I've not seen any recently posted and I side with all the haters of the shootings so far. However, I can quickly think of 4-5 scenarios that would easily justify shooting a dog.

I would never negotiation with a dog in a variety of situations that the police maybe in. That's "a dog" much-less multiples.

Hmm.. So far this has been a blowout FTP. I'm not sure where I stand.

If a strange dog charges me and looks like it wants to do some business, and I'm not armed, then I'm going to try to kick the thing so hard that it drops right on the spot. I'm talking about a wind-up, drop kick to the teeth with intent to split its face in half because I'm not looking to get bitten.

If the officer had killed the dog with his hands after an attack was initiated by the dog, maybe had a few bites, your talking whole new story.

Here's 20K for being an irresponsible dog owner. Congrats on getting him killed, don't spend it all in one place.

Guys, real simple. The only threat a dog has is his mouth. So, like a South Dallas hooker, just have something ready to shove in there. Saved my ass dozens of times.

I can think of reasons to shoot a dog as well. I've shot more than one, but I was always 100% sure of where that round was going and sure of the backdrop. These reports aren't the dogs ON the officers, these are the dog's in the yard or the house and the cop shoots them there.

I have a phobia of black people, I dream that they rape and sodomize me. If I become a cop, does that make it okay to shoot all black people that walk towards me?

Nevermind the fact that dogs will almost always give you warning that you are in his space.

You continue to fight a losing battle Matt.

Funny, I don't see this as a battle with a prize for winning. Just a conversation with an exchange of info.

And about the "warning", what do you do? It's not like you can just leave and the dog will let you.

Do u have any examples of police shooting at dogs and missing thereby creating collateral damage?

Keep an object between you and the dog at all times. They generally won't go around it. Beyond that, if a dog is close enough to bite, shove something in it's mouth. flashlight, asp, stick, whatever. This isn't rocket science.

I used to be afraid of heights. I'm not anymore. You know why? I faced my fear enough times to get the fuck over it.

As the undercover officer and a detective approached a building in pursuit of the alleged dealer, they encountered a 22-year-old man with two pitbulls. The official said the dogs lunged at the officers, prompting both men to fire their guns.

The shots wounded the bystander in his leg and injured one of his dogs, the official said.

The victim, identified as James Austin, was taken to Kings County Hospital and listed in stable condition.

Mr. Austin's dogs were put into the care of an animal-control agency. The condition of the wounded dog remained unclear.

Martin Vidal, 34 years old, said he heard the gunshots from his home and looked out the window to find Mr. Austin on the ground screaming, "Why me, why me?"

Mr. Vidal and another witness, Isaac Holmes, 36, said the dogs had been leashed at the time.

"They shot that boy for nothing," Mr. Holmes said. "Everybody knows him from walking his dogs."

The alleged drug dealer was later arrested. Charges against all three suspects were pending.

A Rottweiler was killed and a bystander injured when a Cleveland, Ohio police officer used a shotgun to break up a dog fight on Sunday morning.

According to Fox 8 News, the officer came upon a Rottweiler who was attacking a small dog around 9 a.m. on Sunday morning.

When the Rottweiler's owner failed to break up the fight, the officer utilized a shotgun to kill the attacking dog.

In the process, a woman who was standing nearby was injured from debris created from the gunfire.

Around 1:45 a.m. Sunday, Lawton police officers heard a gunshot coming from the parking lot outside the Gate 4 Recovery Room, a nightclub located at 2705 N.W. Sheridan. About 300 people had gathered in the parking lot.

Officers saw a man they believed fired the shot. They approached him and ordered him to drop his weapon. The officer who fired his gun said the man raised his weapon and pointed it toward a group of people.

The officer told OSBI agents he fired one round, but it missed the man holding the gun. The officer's bullet hit a parked car next to the armed man, traveled through several windows, and hit 24-year-old Jerry Ann Short in the chest.

An ambulance rushed Short to a nearby hospital where she was treated and released. The suspect with the gun ran from the scene and hasn't been caught.
