I think what the cop did was unnecessary and ignorant. And I also think that it is wrong for him to have gone in someone's backyard where the dog was. This was not an emergency call where he was there to protect or save someone's life. The warrant could have waited until someone was there to answer the door.
As a Maryland EMT I can say that SMCOP is right about the transport thing. The ambulance crew can NOT refuse to transport anyone. The EMT could have offered an opinion and said that they didn't think that it was worth being seen at the ER for, but they can not say hey that isn't worth my time and we will not take you to the ER. You can't even tell a patient to take themselves to the hospital. Believe me there are some people that you get to know from riding the ambulance. We call them frequent flyers and we know as soon as their address is dispatched that they just want a ride from the hotel in Newburg to the 7-11 across the street from Civista to get a pack of cigarettes. But we still have to go get them, listen to their story, take them in the back door of the hospital, roll them into the ER, wait for a bed for them, fill out all of the reports and as soon as we pull away from the back door we see them run out and across Charles Street to the 7-11. It happens quite a bit and there is nothing the ambulance crew can do about it. Some people see it as a free ride. But the crew can't refuse to transport as long as the patient wants to go. The officer had to have signed a release of treatment/transport. Which would have been like him admitting that it wasn't worth being seen for.

Might have had a crush injury, can only be seen by x-ray.
Last I heard, Superman is make-believe as is x-ray vision by EMTs.
But wait,,maybe Benedict has Doctors riding on board as volunteer ...Yea..right....
This is the 2nd karma you've left me in the past few days. Yes, I did the math. I'd just like to clarify something. I do not live in Texas. Oh and Texas only has one "s". What happened to your Christianity you were preaching about a few months ago?

I bowl overhand
Just the cop walking around to the other door gives him an opportunity to look into different rooms to see if the criminal maybe in the house hiding in a different room.. like in the kitchen fixing lunch.. or hiding behind the couch so he cant be seen from the front door..meangirl said:

Well, I think if I was the cop, and heading to the 3rd door, and turned the corner to see the big dog growling and barking at me, I woulndn't give a sh!t about peeking in other windows, and turn around and leave, or go back to my car and call for animal control, etc. Let's say the dog did try to attack the cop. Is it's the dogs fault that the cop was dumb enough to get within the dogs tie lenght, when the dog was trying to protect it's property?
Is it possible the cop turned the corner, was startled by the dog, and was a little quick with the gun? And.....is it possible the reason for the SEVEN shots in the dogs head, was the cop was trying to shoot the choker chain off so people would belived the the dog was loose and he wouldn't look like a dumbazz? The only person who was there when it happened was the cop, so I don't think he is going to confess that he was a moron, if that was the case. I don't think we'll ever get the "full story". It'll just be written off as an unfortunate event.

I think it's pretty well established that this particular cop is a dumbass. If you can be startled by a dog at a time when you should be particularly alert (attempting to arrest a suspect), and in a situation where you should expect a criminal to perhaps loose a dog on you, well.... :shrug:

The Matias never said the ambulance refused to transport the officer. If you read their letter, it only says "Officer Long was in the ambulance and we were not allowed to speak with him." and "We were told “off the record” that the officer barely needed a band aide, that his pants weren’t even torn."

Sorry Ink, but that is a far stretch... if that dog had bitten him hard enough to crush something, you'd see it externally as well.

Sign your Karma tom! And don't get your panties all in a bunch when you're wrong about something! Question, do you believe everything you read on here??? You need to learn not to believe EVERYTHING you read!
The Matias didn't lie about an ambulance refusing to take the cop anywhere. It was something brought up by this gossip chain!

do they think we are just going to ignore this?"I'm Not Going To Be Ignored DAN"
I just caught up on the discussion.... Here's my synopsis:
1. Cop was serving a warrant.
2. Subject of warrant is related to family of residence but hasn't lived there in numerous years.
3. Cop made the rounds of the house to detect occupation of the house.
4. Cop approached the back door.
5. For whatever reason a. cop accidentally stepped into dogs radius b. cop was having a bad day c. cop doesn't like dogs d. cop has other issues
the cop shot the dog multiple times (I've read between 3 to 7 shots)
6. Dog MAY have bitten cop. Most likely AFTER the choke chain was shot off it's neck.
7. Cop DID NOT call for an ambulance right away.
8. Son showed up to barely alive family member.
9. Cop begins to cover his arse. A. for wasting ammo B. for not following protocol C. for killing an innocent (dog or otherwise)
10. Cop was seen by ambulance crew.
11. Crew did not transport cop to the hospital. (the matter of whether the crew refused him or not is mute)Let's just assume he refused the ride.
12. The dog did NOT have rabies because: he was up to date on shots AND we have not heard anything back from the tests.
13. The elected Sheriff has not responded to public outcry...
Now.... think what you want but my personal opinion is that this officer of the law is not qualified to serve and most likely never was. Not all cops are good.... actually most tend to usurp the little power that they are given.
