Police Officer shoots dog *Warning Graphic Material*

[Sir Suomi]

Here's a video I found, you may or may not have sen this before. I personally think that this officer should face a serious felony for doing such a terrible thing.

Video*Once again, this is very graphic. You've been warned.*: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9fCK6Y0bu4

I disagree. The officer was doing what he thought was best.

[DerBear]

The dog was going what it does naturally, defending its owner and quite frankly they could have let the owner go in order to get the dog under control. The police officer overreacted in that situation and should face disciplinary action. I mean his life wouldn't have been in danger if they had common sense to let the guy go to get his dog or if they grabbed the leash and pulled it away. They could have done countless things and shooting it should have been low down on the list.

Okay, I am extremely angry right now at that cop. In fact, I am going to do a ritual to temporarily negate the rule of 3, and then curse the ever loving sh** out of that police officer. That police officer can go to Tartarus. If he had done that to a human he would of been jailed. A dog? Nothing. He does not get to kill a poor dog and get away with it.:mad::mad::mad:

Yeah ok it sucks about the dog but are you kidding me. The dog was trying to bite the officer very plainly. He tried to grab it but couldn't. The best thing to do was shoot it and pay attention to the guy they were trying to apprehend

How many officers were there? 3

Are you telling me they couldn't have allowed the man to get his dog under control and still make sure he didn't escape? It looks liked he was pulled over for some of search, they could have clearly handled the situation better.

So bloody what if the officer gets bitten. Its in a dogs nature to protect its owner.

This would never happen in the UK because unlike the USA officers we don't think with our guns.

No. He was under arrest and you would know why if you watched the whole video. Theyre not gonna let him go. What do you mean "so what if the officer gets bit. He dont want to get bit for the same reason as you.

And that guy who was being detained (the owner of the dog) wasn't even doing anything illegal he was shouting and recording what the police were doing.

That dog got shot for doing something that's natural to him, defending his owner. It was a complete overreaction by the officer. He could have done so many things that could have involved not shooting a dog for doing what its natural to him.

Again it wouldn't happen if people use common sense instead of a gun.

If you look at the clip the dog wasn't even attempting to bite the officer until the officer tried to restrain the dog.

I'm telling you, some people are just monsters. Also he shot the dog 4 times, 4 fucking times, hell he could shot in the air and the dog would have ran.

I'm done debating don't quote me, this is just horrific police abusing their power.

This would never happen in the UK.

[Kameraden]

You are all spineless -- that dog attacks a member of your own species, and you get angry at your kin for defending himself? Get over yourselves, you'd do the same thing.

Weren't you just saying they could grab the dog. He could have been taken for disturbing the peace and hindering a police officer. They shot the threat. They're not gonna shoot the air and have a bullet hit an innocent person.

Quick question(s)

kin - referring to every human as kin to another makes no sense.
"your kin" - are you not of this 'kin?'
"You'd do the same" - I appreciate that you know exactly what people would do. Thank you.

That's all.

OT: I basically agree with everything Derri's said; this was completely unnecessary.

You don't go to grab a dog who is acting hostile by putting your hand near its mouth, you go to the side or behind. The point is their is little justification for pumping 4 rounds in to animal who is only acting naturally to the situation. The officers life wasn't in danger, maybe a bite but that isn't going to kill him. The man was filiming on a public street away from the officers and he made one comment which was "Why is their no black police"

Are you telling me that is classed as disturbing the peace? I highly doubt it, the officer had issue with what the man said, nothing else.

When a dogs sees their owner being treated poorly their automatic reaction and instinct is to help him and the officer could have done so many things before shooting the dog and like I said don't quote me again because I don't want to return to this thread. Its a sad enough thread without having to revisit it every 5 minutes.

You should be able to grasp basic grammar and attain basic vocabulary by the age of fifteen, boy.

It doesn't matter if its natural. If its natural to kill someone is it okay. No.

People who argue against cops hate them because of what other people have said.

Hun that's adorable. Now if you can jump back on topic I'd appreciate it

Sorry but what did the dog do, it got out of the car, went over to the officers and started barking, it made no move on the officer until the officer stepped forward and put its hand out, that would trigger any dog to go into its attack mode (idk if they call it that) but its their instinct.

The man was doing NOTHING wrong, he made a comment and the officers didn't like it.

The dog was doing nothing wrong until the officers went near it, usually a dog won't attack unless provoked sure they'll go bark at the person but rarely will they attack without given cause.

Wow! You just said that they should've grabbed him and now your saying it their fault he tried to bite. Im done. Its pointless arguing with cop haters.

Going directly to the front of a dog to grab it is asking for trouble, coming behind or to the right of the dog to grab the leash on the ground isn't.

I'm not a cop hater, I have a dozen people I'd consider good acquaintances and even friends who are involved in different aspects of police work and some are police officer themselves and I far form hate them. I just don't agree with the actions that were taken, it was completely over the top. They didn't even try anything other than putting their hand near the dogs face and mouth, which to a dog, looks like they are trying to attack.

Ti an over aggressive dog maybe.

[DerBear]

Ti an over aggressive dog maybe.

To any dog that is loyal to their owner. Its instinct, yes is it aggressive? That's the point but most dogs who are in said instinct will react like that if a hand that is not familiar goes right in its face.

Just look at the clip, the way the officer opened fire and let of several shots, it was careless and over the top.

[LouBerry]

The police officer was just following the rules. One of the most important rules of a police officer is safety. Their safety is put above all else. The dog was an aggressive ROTWEIlER. They are one of the most aggressive dogs. He was just following the rules by keeping himself and his comrades safe.

There are a ton of things that officer could have done besides shooting the dog like that. His owner was right there, and could have been calmed the dog down.

[CuriousGlasweigan]

The way I see it is if the police didn't pull up this man for doing nothing illegal then none of this would have happened so it is the police in the wrong.

[Kameraden]

Actually, that man was defying the police. If this were my country, he would have been shot for defiance.
