Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire another one bites the dust.....trigger happy cop

I saw that a few minutes ago. The cop was wrong and needs to be fired IMO.

Just finished the article. Pretty pathetic. Law enforcement had better figure it out soon or the tables will turn and things will get very ugly.

I agree. Screw the public. Let 'em look for their own kidnapped children. They should be more responsible.

Any LEO worth his Duncan Donuts would have searched the presumed lost childs'family home first before "screwing" the rest of the public and shooting a non involved private citizens' family dog.

"We were looking for a lost child,� one officer responded. A neighborhood parent had reported their 3-year-old child missing earlier in the day. The child was later found asleep in the basement of the family�s home.

Didn't they teach you anything about doing research at "the academy"?

Police dept should have a standing order , you shoot someones dog you will be in the unemployment line .

Allot of cop bashing on this site but this prix's action was just plain wrong and you know it Lt.
I doubt you'd be so flip if it were your family pet that was killed while legally locked up in your own backyard on your own private property.

I've gone 2,000 miles across the western US on this trip and I haven't seen one cop shoot a dog.

With all the reports of dog shootings on here, I would have expected to see at least a half dozen.

Well see...the cops should have told the parents to search their house and call back later if they still can't find their baby.

Wow. I would expect this response from Dink, but not you.

why can't we just expect the police to do what we hired them to do, which INCLUDES looking for lost children, but does NOT include shooting dogs?

Maybe. Or maybe the dog owner is the neighborhood child molester and the kids mother was in the street screaming that she knew he had the kid and as raping it in the back yard. Or maybe the Utah State Police are morons. The only thing for sure is that people that draw absolute conclusions without absolute knowledge are absolute idiots.

I bet the cop was a Texan.
He saw a high fence and a bowl of food........poor SOB thought be was "hunting".

It was Dink who probably shot the dog

For the record it's Dunkin' Donuts. Just wanted to clear that up.

Y'all carry on.

Blueberry cake donuts from Dunkin' are the chit.

Haven't had one in probably 20 years.

Sure Itp, shoulda coulda. Fact is they didn't. The SLC cop decided to go all ricky recon and trash the private property rights of the very people who pay his salary. He shot a dog that was doing its job by protecting his master's property(inside a fenced enclosure no less ie. no threat to anyone outside the fence) and paid the ultimate price for it.

If you don't like the heat from the "civilian" population then start policing your own or get the hell out of the copshop kitchen.

All the times my Grandpa took me as a little kid probably subconsciously effected my career choice as an adult.

1-People complaining on the Fire ain't "heat", lol.

2-If I'm ever unfortunate enough to drive through Utah, I'll be sure to make a pitstop and straighten all those cops out.

I also agree
