Charles County officer murders dog

[tom88]

He could have hit the dog in the head and knocked him out.

Hit the dog with what? His gun? Wouldn't that be even worse? I see the headlines now! Police officer kills innocent bystander because of an accidental discharge of his weapon while trying to beat a dog!

With his foot or even kneed the dog..Ugh

I find it hard to believe that he can justify killing 3 dogs in 7 years. I've managed to go 30 without doing it once. :shrug:

Charles County officer ... 05-20-2007 07:26 PM The ones that assault police officers by biting them!
It is okay that he's killed 3 dogs? What are the odds that he's been "attacked" by 3 dogs in 7 years? I think he's a dumbass that puts himself in harms way too much. And no, going in a dog's territory when it is chained up is not part of the job when serving a warrant.

WTF was the holster to the gun on? The pepper spray couldn't go on there too? Help me, please. I'm tryin to understand.

Ok. A gun belt and a "belt" are two different things. Usually people who serve warrants are in plain clothes and do not wear a gun belt. They wear a normal belt that you or I would wear. The plain clothes holster fits on this belt. Granted I have limited knowledge of this. My father was a DC police officer, then later became a detective so I have seen him in both uniform and plain clothes. The plain clothes officers don't carry all the stuff a uniform officer would carry!

He could have punched him if he was in that much harm. He did have an open hand. :shrug:

Right. Because it's in a holster! The pepper spray, when on a "gun belt" is also in a holster!

Tom,

There is just simply no excuse for him to have shot the dog at a residence in which he had ran calls at before. He was aware there was a dog there. He had 2 other dog incidents yet chose not to carry pepper spray? It isn’t like it is heavy to carry. He walked past a dog on a leash. Why? It was a child support warrant, not a warrant in which public safety was an issue.

Why are you gunning at discrediting the publics concern? Do you have a personal interest in all of this? Max’s owners have the right to have their questions and concerns address by the Charles County Sheriff’s Office because in the court of public opinion, it doesn’t look good.

Wasn't the dog biting his leg? Maybe he did first try to kick the dog or knee the dog? We don't know because we weren't there! But if the dog is biting his leg, I think the option of kneeing the dog or hitting it with your foot are out the window!

Like it was mentioned earlier, they need to post a big 'ole picture of this wound.

So he could have been wearing pepper spray since he had a "belt" on?

Does he only have 1 leg?

I absolutely agree with you! Allow the investigation to be completed before we pass judgement! I have no interest what so ever in this! I see the other side though. I would say the same to those who are condeming this guy without a proper investigation. Don't pass judgement! This is tragic that a family pet is dead! But I think it would be even more tragic if a police officer, a mothers son, possibly a husband or father, were mauled to death by an attacking dog!

As far as him shooting a dog where he ran calls before? Do we think he intentionally allowed himself to be bit by the dog so he could shoot it?

Could you direct me to where I can learn about the other dogs he shot? Where did this information come from?

I think the officer is afraid of dogs and made a decision in poor judgment.

 

[sockgirl77]

I think the officer is afraid of dogs.

He either needs to go to a shrink to get over the fear or get a new job (if he still has one).

The officer was bit...*cough* ehh hem!

Newspapers. News on TV. From an informant that works or has worked with him.

The spokesperson for the Charles County Sheriff's Office made that statement on the news.

That's what happens when you are somewhere you shouldn't be, dogs territory. He had no reason to knock on more doors..IMO
