No credence to an article that omits the police side of the story and the author cannot even spell "shoot".

Austin Police are reviewing the incident, but have yet to release a statement.

Just incase you want to read any more into it....maybe these won't have spelling errors. Lord knows that being a grammer nazi is more important than the story.



On April 14, an Austin police officer shot and killed a man’s dog in front of him. « Take Flight

Austin Police Backs Officer Who Mistakenly Shot, Killed Man's Dog

Officer goes to wrong address, shoots and kills man's dog (This has a video showing about .3 seconds between the time the cop says "Get your dog", and "boom")

This is ridiculous...

The owner is now traumatized and grieving. Nothing will happen to the officer. Heartbreaking.

I wonder how many stupid cops are on the Austin police force...I thought the motto was protect and serve...the officer in this article is a danger to the community. What a total idiot!

A similar incident occurred on Sept.11, 2011, and the APD and City Counsil determind that officers should get mandatory training on what to do when encountering pets.

Guess that didn't work out to well...

If a civilian went on someone's property and shot their dog, it's animal cruelty.
If a civilian shoots a police dog, it's life in prison.
If a cop does it, it's protecting and serving. Then the cops make this citizen (who did nothing wrong) feel as if he is in the wrong (the video says it all). Then, not so much as a sorry from the cop, or the supervisor.

This police state is getting out of control.

I guess the idiot officer in this instance missed that class. I can't get the image out of my head..that one minute the man and his dog are playing frisbee in the backyard, and the next minute the dog is dead! I guess, he could have shot the man, too, and would have gotten away with that, also. Uh, duh.. I didn't know I was at the wrong house, and, duh.. the dog was barking so he was attacking me, so I shot the dog. Wasn't the officer trespassing or something? What a freaking idiot...I feel a coming on.

Posted by Chris: "This police state is getting out of control." That's what Obama wants, so he should be happy.

It really blows my mind that there are these trigger happy idiots toting guns around, and they are there to protect US?

There's no excuse for any of the actions that played out.

1). Get the address right!
2). If you're looking for a hispanic couple, don't hold an unarmed white man at gun point.
3). You have multiple weapons at your disposal (pepper spray, tazer, baton, etc.) but this guy felt the need to draw a gun.
4). The dog was probably 40lbs....the cop was easily 200lbs. If you can't fend off an attack by a dog that is 1/4 of your weight. you should seriously re-think becoming a police officer.

Not suprised to see that you've taken your "cop-hating" to another board.

I guess you'll be taking your research nation wide now, just to critisize cops. Be sure to tell all your close cop friends what you'll be up to!

Please, explain how I am a cop hater....atleast we don't have to wait for comments to be "approved".



I sure hope you don't own a dog.

Where do you get that Chris is a cop hater with what was posted here today? Does that mean I am a cop hater, too? I think the cop in this story was a dog hater. No, wait...the cop in this story is the real dog. The dog was just alerting his master that there was a stranger on the property that had no business being there. The dog was smarter than the cop! But, the cop thought, duh..I'm the one with the gun, and it makes sense that I should shoot the dog, duh, duh, duh!!!! Wait...maybe because of this incident, this cop will train to be a K-9 cop and then he will have his own dog to shoot! Maybe this cop knows Trossbach! ..same mentality and all.
