Living on the streets nearly killed a homeless man in Brooklyn on Tuesday when he was mauled by an unleashed pit bull in an attack stopped only when an off-duty correction officer put a bullet in the animal’s head.

The attack occurred at about 1 p.m. on Herkimer Place near Perry Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant when the dog sank its teeth into the vagrant and wouldn’t let go, witnesses and cops said.

“He was bleeding a lot and screaming,” Anthony Davis, the officer who ran over when he heard the commotion, told The Post. “I tried to get him off the guy by pushing the dog and kicking him, but he wouldn’t let go. He had a tight lock on the guy’s chin and he wouldn’t let go.”

After trying to fight off the dog for about a minute, Davis — a 10-year Correction Department veteran who works at the Brooklyn House of Detention — blasted the female dog once in the head with his personal 9mm pistol, which he was legally carrying.

“I’ve had dogs since I was a kid — I had to make the decision to save that man’s life,” said Davis, 50. “I love dogs.”

Wait!  ARF has told me you just kick the dog away and it will run away. The bum probably didn't have any dog training too. If the bum had dog training, then the dog would be alive and hang with the bum. Everyone knows dogs add bonus points to begging payouts. Just need to get a bandanna on the dog though. All bum dogs have bandannas. It's a thing with bums and their dogs. But, no the "off duty" correctional officer had to shoot and kill the paws up don't shoot dog, instead of kicking the dog away. (/stupidity/sarcastic)


There I got the stupid post out of the way.

Good shoot!

Every pitbull I've ever see was stupid friendly. But I asked animal control and they told me they handle more pit bull calls than any other.  Of course the area i work no big surprise as its a very popular breed in the area. Most folks train their dogs to attack anyone in their back yard. Around here you need an attack dog in your back yard as everyone hops people's fences with no regard to other's property.

Guy is a NYCDC corrections officer. Cops can carry any pistol by law but department regs state you can only carry your service weapon or authorized off-duty firearm. (BUG)

Both my nephews are with NYPD, they are required to carry even off duty. They must always have their firearm. Additionally they also have a registered personal weapon they are allowed to carry concealed if they are not carrying a duty weapon.

Not true.

2. Be unarmed at own discretion while off duty when:
a. Possession of firearm, under the circumstances, would unnecessarily create a risk of loss or theft of the firearm, i.e., participation in sporting activities, attendance at beach and pool, etc., OR
b. On vacation, OR
c. Engaged in authorized off duty employment, OR
d. Engaged in any activity of a nature whereby it would be advisable NOT to carry a firearm, OR
e. There is a likelihood that member will be consuming alcoholic intoxicants.


Quoted:
Additionally  they also have a registered personal weapon they are allowed to carry concealed if they are not carrying a duty weapon.

Also not true. The only other weapon that may be carried off duty is the authorized off duty firearm they qualified with at the range. Get caught carrying anything else and you're losing days. (3 in my case )

6. Carry handguns (gun collections, etc.), other than service and off duty guns, only while enroute to or from practice range or similar activity.
NOTE: When carrying such weapons, member must be armed with an authorized on duty or off duty firearm. The firearm being transported that is not authorized for on duty or off duty use shall be unloaded.

If the department thought that they could get away with it, they would prohibit off-duty-carry entirely.
