That cop is a chicken shit bitch.
It might be a COC violation but if I saw that in person, I'd fucking beat that cops ass for that. There is no fucking excuse for what he did. That dog was NOT a threat to him. That pathetic excuse of a piece of fucking trash does not need access to a loaded gun and should in no way have any kind of authority that a badge provides. That cop is more of a danger to the community than that dog ever was.

Looks like he got frustrated with dog all moving around and "resisting". Appears he just wanted to get outta there and not deal with it. What a pos.
Owner needs to keep better tabs on doggie though. |

Norhing against cops, but 50K? No. The only settlement that would be acceptable to me if it were my dog would be I get to scare the fuck out of the cop, get a rope around his neck and let him struggle to get away, then shoot him in the stomach once, let him linger for a bit then finish HIM with a shot to the fucking head. But I doubt the city would agree to it
Pure scum. A shitty excuse for a human being that should be put down. |

He shot the dog when it was already in the catch pole? WTF....
Load doggie in the back of the car and drive his fuzzy butt to the shelter. When you get there, if doggie is being a dick the nice young ladies at the shelter will usually come out and give a hand. I did it dozens of time. |

Wow. I would have not settled at $50,000 after seeing this video. The cop had the dog under control and then shot the dog? I don't understand the reasoning behind that. Maybe $250,000 and the termination of that cop from the force would be a start. Even though it may be just a dog to some, it is the officers actions that I am more worried about than anything. I would be afraid for my life if he ever had me in handcuffs.
