IL-Cop shoots 7 month old puppy, while writing a parking ticket.

[coastie]

I'm annoying to have present when the statists are gathered around that one.

I am as well. I'll admit, when I was younger, I watched that show, and those like it, all the time. I just stopped watching The First 48 a couple of years ago after the little girl was killed in Detroit while they were filming an episode.

I also find myself chastising people for even supporting those shows now. I don't care anymore, it's gone too far. There is no more biting my lip, hoping the next election gets better, etc. I can get quite impassioned while on the soap box, but it seems to work a lot of times(although not nearly enough). The fact I used to be LE gives me a little more credibility on the subject, I suppose, but even then the statist haters still act like I'm being a bad guy for telling them to not talk to the police.

If more cats were kept outside (or hamsters or goldfish) we would see them being slaughtered as well

Nah. Cats are too smart. They also don't cause nearly as much trouble and they're much less rough-and-tumble. That's WHY they're kept inside. I have a pair of outside cats, but if I was going to have an animal inside (which I wouldn't), I would want a cat.

Cats are far more suspicious of strangers than dogs.

Both of my Dobermans will stand next to me with the hair on their backs standing up when someone they don't know approaches the house. I live in the country and the only leash I use is an electronic training collar. A few times, I have had to push the buttons to keep my dogs from going out in the road, after someone on a bicycle or horse goes by. I just hope no cop decides to approach and thinks he has permission or the authority to shoot my dogs. Things could get nasty pretty fast.

Those dogs are very expensive. Was the dog still on private property when shot?

The story makes me think that the dog was not within view of the owner.

So what's the cop's claim? If these animals are so dangerous, why aren't the USPO able to carry guns? What happened to mace? Who did the cop put at risk by drawing and firing his sidearm?

You shouldn't be a cop if you're scared of a puppy.

 

[EBounding]

Yep. Go to youtube and look at the comments below any police brutality/rights violations videos...nothing but excuses for the cops and their actions. Excuses about how "tough" and "dangerous"their jobs are, "well, if the person wasn't being a dick(dick=exercising their rights)...", "I hope when you need a cop, there isn't one to "save" you(LMAO), "if you're doing nothing wrong...", "they must've been doing something wrong for the cops to be there", ad nauseum.

My favorite pastime is calling them slaves and congratulating them on their obedience to their Leaders. It drives them crazy because they actually think they are free.

Hey, I don't do it by choice.



"What happened to mace?"

Good lord, why the need for mace. It is a miniature pup for goodness sakes! Any normal human being would have got on his knees and welcomed the little guy. Instead, this psychopath thought it was a ripe old time for an execution. Plus, the cop is in a HIGH DENSITY area. Pure insanity.

You shouldn't be a cop. Period.

Vicious. Shoot it.

 

[ghengis86]

Already has a target; cops probably can't hit it anyways as evidenced by the 'marksman' in the OP shooting a couple rounds and only wounding the animal. Isn't that cruelty to animals?

I'd mace a toy poodle if it was biting me. I might even punt it. The point is, why did he choose to shoot the dog?

This is what I've been asking for awhile. I guess they've changed a lot in six years. It used to be that your firearm was your last resort... now it seems to be the first. Why even carry pepper or a expandable baton if your not going to use it when it's appropriate?

Officer safety.

With all these stories of cops killing dogs and with the some-what talks of gun laws. I keep thinking of the vampire movie "30 days of night" where the vampires had a guy kill all the dogs of the town to make sure they would have no difficulty when they came in.
