I know Sharon. She's a wonderful person. I am sure that she is grieving right now. I am also sure that she would not own a vicious dog. This cop was trigger happy.

True. I met Sharon through her daughter. She's a very sweet lady. I can't even imagine what she is going through right now. Pets are family members too. There is no excuse for shooting a dog on a leash, especially when you are at the wrong house. What was the officer doing in the backyard anyways?

Regardless either way the officer is at fault here... Theres no escalation of force... I don't understand how he can go from nothing to the gun like that, without even using OC spray? The dog was tethered. By stepping outside the range of that tether would have easily prevented bites. And whats the limit here. If I have a rottweiler, pitbull, german shepard in my house, behind a glass window, does this mean I should fear officers of the law possibly taking shots through the glass to kill the family pet for fear of rabies?

Point is, should everyone have to worry about county/state/federal deputies lurking in their bushes with a warrant that doesn't even have your address on it, and them finding excuses to terminate fido with extreme prejudice? I thought police were here to help the community, not empty the clip on the animal. I think if a cop needs more than 1 shot on an animal at that close of a range, perhaps he shouldn't be carrying a gun, imagine all the stray bullets when it comes to a human.

Oooo! My first "bad karma"!! I feel like I truly belong now.. thanks so much!! :)

In response to your "comment" whoever you may be, since you didn't leave your name, I did read the story.. a couple times, and I quoted directly from the article.

The rest was "just my opinion".

What was your point?


ETA: Oh.. I see! I got the whole "door" part wrong. That clearly changes things and the dog most certainly deserved to be shot! My bad. I see your point now!! :sarcasm:

And rightly so.

And Lenny, I doubt that was a 180-200 pound dog. I had Shepherds all my life. Last one I had topped out at 120 and he was large....and a baby.

And to whoever said the owner looked like a nutcase...well let somebody shoot one of my dogs and I guarantee you, you will never see a bigger nutcase.

I agree with VV, he shouldn't be an officer of the law or carry a gun. HE sounds like the nutcase to me.

And multiple gunshots? Please...

This is a case of an overzealous individual who did not follow procedure and will hopefully lose his job.

I really hate to toss a :yeahthat: here but :yeahthat:

There are procedures that MUST be followed that are written as law and it doesn't appear those procedures were followed. The dog was on a leash, around the back side of the house.


§ 11-505. When dog killing permitted

Any person may kill any dog which he sees in the act of pursuing, attacking, wounding or killing any poultry or livestock, or attacking human beings whether or not such dog bears the proper license tag required by these provisions. There shall be no liability on such persons in damages or otherwise for such killing.

This officer failed to use caution and put himself in harms way. The owners had the dog on a leash to the rear of the residence.

I would be crushed if my pet was killed in this manner and wouldn't stop until I had that officer's badge.

The officer is claiming that the dog broke free from his leash and charged him according to the news. The officer has been on the job over 8 years and he has shot 2 other dogs before this incident. The owners claim to have found 7-bullet casings from the area.

The Sheriff’s Office didn’t even recover the bullets from their own crime scene but found that tiny little itty bitty piece of chain to prove the officer’s claim that the dog broke free? :eyebrow: That doesn't even sound right.

You have obviously not been reading the forums in the four years you've been a member or you would know quite clearly I am not a member of the constabulatory, nor a rabid "gunz for all" wild-eye. You have obviously not read the article which lead off this thread but have relied entirely on the emotional and one-sided speculations of other posters.

Once you've gotten grounded in reality, then I will pay attention to your drivelling.

Sounds like a pattern here to me. If he shot Max at close range and was aiming at the head and neck area, what is there to say that one of the rounds did not hit the chain? Sounds like a C.Y.A. statement to me. And the guy is a shi##ty shot also. F'n douchebag.
