A woman from Florida City is outraged after she said a police officer knocked on her front door Tuesday morning and shot her dog when it ran outside.

The dog's owner, Gillian Palacios, told Local 10 News that the officer knocked on her door at 832 SW Seventh St. to inform her that she had left her car door open.

She said her 2-year-old, 40-pound bulldog-mix Duchess, ran outside and was shot three times in the head by the officer.

Palacios said the officer told her, "Your dog charged me," and then left, telling her that Animal Services would be by to pick up the dog.

"She was curious. She wasn't barking (and) she wasn't growling," Palacios said. "There was no reason for him to think she was aggressive in any way."

The Palacios family fosters and rescues dogs in the area and said it was barbaric how the officer killed their rescue dog.

"There were a million things he could have done other that shoot her three times in the head," Palacios said.

Florida City police spokesman Officer Ken Armenteros confirmed that one of the department's officers shot a dog Tuesday morning, and said the police department is "gathering all the facts at this time."

"We don't have the luxury of hind sight," Armenteros said. "We have to use the information that is given to us in a split second. So, the officer has to make that decision with the information that he has available."

It's not cowardice; it's a trained response. I'm beginning to wonder if it literally is something trained into them at the academy or if it is taught after graduation.

Both and neither.

You, your dog, your family...you don't exist to cops.

They are at war and you are the enemy.

You are nothing, a sheep, a Mundane...bugsplat.

And they'll shoot your dog, shoot you, taze you, gas you, mace you, torture you, abuse you, disappear you...

For anything or nothing at all.

And they'll get away with it.

And they know it.

What's pathetic is all the mundane thats supports their mindset.

Both and neither.

You, your dog, your family...you don't exist to cops.

And they'll shoot your dog, shoot you, taze you, gas you, mace you, torture you, abuse you, disappear you...

can we say 'they' have lost the concept of humanity at the least?...training...ha...i'm sticking with coward.

I saw one state that there are "sheepdogs, sheep, and wolves." Some of them literally see nothing else. If you don't say, "Baa" or wear a badge, then you are automatically wolf and fair game.

Both and neither.

You, your dog, your family...you don't exist to cops.

They are at war and you are the enemy.

You are nothing, a sheep, a Mundane...bugsplat.

And they'll shoot your dog, shoot you, taze you, gas you, mace you, torture you, abuse you, disappear you...

As someone who went though police academy, yes they do train you to shoot dogs that are running in your direction.

That "dog" was a big bad wolf.

Doesn't Florida have leash laws?

Doesn't Florida have leash laws?

In the house? You want dogs to be leashed inside their homes?

I don't see the problem.
He was doing what the system was designed from the ground up to have him do.

even though it is a flawed system. Apparently they don't train to use discretion as a tool.

Why don't more pizza delivery guys summarily execute family pets?

It is not a flawed system.
I meant what I said.
It was designed from the ground up to do what it did.
What it did here is not a defect. It is a feature.

Basically ... One of many reasons I dropped out of the academy and started a business in the private sector...

it is, and from the very fact that this non-flawed system as you put it, is in fact enraging the populace, therefore, it is in fact flawed. A system designed to 'protect' and carry out laws by the system as prescribed, and in this case and context, only serves to become a burden on the 'system' making it become a flawed system by its on perverted weight.

Their wage depends on satisfied customers...

And they're generally a higher class of people.

That dog could have been carrying a bomb.
