Calif. TV station films dog calmly playing with kids after cop shoots himself trying to kill it

A California deputy accidentally shot himself while trying to kill a dog that he said was threatening his life on Wednesday, but video captured by a local television station later showed the animal much smaller than reported and peacefully playing with children.

According to a Riverside County sheriff’s spokesperson, the deputy was serving an eviction notice at around 2 p.m. on Wednesday when a “large” dog tried to attack him, KCAL reported.

“A dog came at the deputy in an aggressive manner,” Deputy Armando Munoz said, according to The Press-Enterprise. “The deputy, (attempting to defend himself) pulled his service weapon, shot one round, and injured himself in the leg.”

“He’s OK. He has non life-threatening injuries.”

Munoz said that the dog’s aggressive behavior ended when it was startled by the gunfire.

When KNBC film crews arrived on the scene later on Wednesday, they found a medium-sized pit bull — named “Precious” — confined to a pen, and calmly playing with several children. The dog’s owner admitted that it had been barking when the officer arrived.

Animal Services did not take the dog into custody because there was no evidence it or the owner had done anything wrong.

A couple of hours ago while out walking I had a pit bull come across the street towards me barking -- I just faced him and yelled "NO!" and he went back the way he came. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but seems to work more often than not. I did reach for some pepper spray, something maybe Deppidy Dipsh*t should have considered doing -- then he wouldn't have a hole in his leg.

You see more than I do then. However, this one makes me smile from ear to ear.

Vicious looking beast, isn't it?

The comments at the link are great, the cop is getting all the sympathy he deserves.

Justice.

The subliminal message is that guns are extremely dangerous. Even well trained cops have accidents with them so they should be removed from the public.

It didn't work on me, it never cross3d my mind.

I would be willing to bet that people that are anti gun would make that comparison.

Who cares what the anti-gunners think, they can't shoot back...

Of course, as many of the cops around here as do shoot themselves, most of the casualties come from cops thinking they're good enough drivers to chase down people who can actually drive.

I agree 1,000%... cops should be removed from the public.

This clearly shows that the pig did NOT have to shoot the dog, considering he shot himself and the dog did not proceed to attack. The dog presented no threat at all, yet the pig still tried to get his rocks off by killing it. The pig should be charged with discharging a firearm within city limits, conspiracy to commit animal cruelty, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, etc.
