Link to that thread/post? Before the mods BLM deletes it? It was a drunk LEO doing a "ask me anything" thread about a week or week and a half ago. Someone asked (of course) if he ever shot a dog. He said he "lost count". (EDIT) I looked it up. He said "I stopped counting". Look at bottom of page 2. Side note. I know a way to keep cops from killing all of our dogs. We just need to dress them up like these 24/7 from now on.

Well I have never shot one and neither has anyone I work with for the time that I have been there. Hell, I have been bitten and still didn't shoot. What I have done though is seen many a Joe Public who mistreats, kills, and fails to take adequate care of their animals. Maybe I should not respect the public at large anymore based on this? With that said, it baffles me how ignorant some people are of dogs and how to approach and deal with them. This is not limited to cops. If they are that way as cops, they were that way before they were cops. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Doesn't matter what kind of dog it was. The autopsy states it was running away when shot. Cop was not bitten and the dog was running away. Certainly not the first time we've heard that story, and I can guaran-damn-tee it won't be the last. And the same old, tired, nonsensical excuses are trotted out, per routine.
"He was in fear for his life!" Bullshit. Dog was running away and hadn't bitten him. If he was that damned terrified of a dog that he shot one that hadn't injured him and was running away, he has absolutely zero business being a cop. "Do you just expect cops to allow themselves to be bitten??!?!" Not really, no. BUT I also expect cops to realize that it is a risk that comes with the job. Mail handlers, UPS, FedEx, meter readers, dog groomers, veterinarians, animal control officers, repairmen, and countless other people in countless other professions face a daily risk of being bitten by dogs and don't run around lead bolusing every dog they encounter. Do I expect them to "allow" themselves to be bitten? No. But I do expect them to realize that it happens, it can happen to them, and that deadly force is not always (in fact very seldom) necessary in dealing with an aggressive dog. All those thousands of other people in other professions seem to manage it. Why can't the police? We wonder why it is that gun control advocates think that the go-to response for people that carry will always be deadly force, but only so much of that is projection. They can see as well as we can the actions of officers that are always armed on the job. I very much understand that not every officer behaves this way, but obviously there are plenty that do. Other officers need to stop making excuses and start holding their fellow officers accountable. |

I'm a land surveyor , and as such , I'm in people's yards ....a lot. Like 3-4 times a week. I've lost count of how many dogs I've interacted with.
What the fuck is wrong with...." Hey puppy, good dog...." When interacting with a strange dog? I must be the greatest dog guy on the planet as I have a 100 % success rate with this approach. Talk nicely to the dog...every time they end up wanting to be petted and the owner ends up having to keep the dog from bumping my instrument while I work asking to be petted more. Last dog encounter ended with me having to walk the dog home, since she followed me for about a half mile down a rr bed . 
The lady took him inside so I wouldn't have to adopt her.

WTF???
I have a Big GSD and once she out out and was running to the mail man He turned around looked at her and said "Get Back In That House", She spun around and headed back in. I stood there and laughed at how he handled her. I have encountered many dogs in my life and have NEVER been bitten by them. If you are in a profession that brings you around dogs and you are afraid of dogs. Then you really need to find another profession that does not put you around dogs. |

WTF this is getting out of hand. If the necropsy is correct and the dog was shot running away IMHO this officer should be charged.
FYI If you pull up on a farm and a dog runs up to the car barking and its not a emergency situation STAY in your car till the home owners come out. |

There is some serious sociopaths that become cops. So only a sociopath can shoot a dog that's unsecured on a leash, showing it's teeth and moving towards you or a third party? Otherwise...the officer should never shoot any animal, no matter the danger? Dogs care a number of diseases (including rabies) which have no cure, including being able to kill you (depending upon the breed). Secure your dogs and you won't have a problem. Dogs are not people. Neither are they intelligent enough to defend themselves. They have instincts which have been passed down from generations which are to protect the home/owners. That can be a real problem if the owners are shitbags and the police have to enter the property of said shitbags. The dog is going to know no different. If you want to blame somebody, blame the stupid owners. Police officers and firefighters don't get paid to be bit by any animal. Especially animals who haven't been properly vaccinated/cared for (as we know all the hooligans up in the hood are up to date on all of their dogs' vaccinations and such. Nearly all of these things come back on the owner. So please, keep your hyperbole to yourself. Nearly any officer would shoot an aggressive dog off its leash or attacking another officer while in a suspect's home--especially if its a dog exhibiting weird behavior which could be rabies. Calm down Nancy....fucking rabies.
He came from the DU what do you expect? He's probably wearing a dress |

Right. I'm going to lock up a good portion of my productive workforce while I wait for a LEO... They're so punctual, especially in the country.

Quoted:
"You’re invading her property, but she wouldn’t bite you! she’s never bitten anybody!” the man shouts.
1) You called, and 2) I don't know your dog's history, and honestly don't really give a shit either when your dog is growling and running at me. The cops weren't going to do shit about the burglary anyway, but if you're going to call them, at least lock your animals up first. Right. I'm going to lock up a good portion of my productive workforce while I wait for a LEO... They're so punctual, especially in the country.
The dog wasn't currently working. The farmers where out in the fields on tractors. The dog was laying in the back of the truck. |

Cops have taken this "I can't even be touched attitude" without the use of force. It's a dangerous job, you might get hurt. If you are so nervous that you have to shoot an old man pointing a cane at you, or Lassy playing in her own yard, here's your sign. Dumbest post of the day. Did you even watch the cane video? Lassie playing? |
