Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ya get punched by some guy. Then tazed by the Cops AND they shoot your dog.

The tazed guy walking his soon-to-be-deceased dog bangs on the trunk of a car, gets punched for his trouble and then tazed by a Cop for walking away? Whereupon the dog is shot for doing what a good dog would.

Balcones Heights is a ‘burb’ now entirely within San Antonio, has its own Police Department.

I’m wondering what the whole story is.

Pathetic

Burying the guy’s dog for him sure sounds like an admission of guilt.

I would guess the punched/tazed/bereaved/arrested guy is being contacted by attorneys even as we speak.

Walking his dog in InterState 10 ?

Protect and Serve who? It sounds like the officer never attempted to de-escalate the situation but took sides and committed an offence. I'd want to hear both sides of the argument but unless I'm mistaken it's not against the law to walk your dog.

Not nearly enough to go on in that story for me to condemn anyone. I don't recommend knocking on the trunk of a driver's car, but I do ask myself why the dog walker chose that car and why that car was close enough to a pedestrian for that to happen.

The photos show they obviously were not on interstate 10.

Probably just more poor journalism making details misleading.

Maybe they were walking around the 6900 block in the vicinity of interstate 10, like where it passes over or sumtin of the like.

A city of 1.4 million people with most being democrats. What could possibly go wrong!

ahhhh, that wonderful, dedicated, self sacrificing 'thin blue line'

Investigators say the dog became aggressive when the officer tased the man. As the officer reloaded his taser to allegedly stun the man again, the dog seemed to retreat, but it then lunged toward him.

Police say the officer hit the dog to get it away from his body before shooting the dog twice and killing him.



Best way to handle a dog attacking you…

Another trophy on the wall for the boys in blue.

Handyman is jealous today.

What little interaction I have had with some of the small separate PDs within San Antonio tends to make me think they are staffed by people that could not make the cut for SAPD.

We need more information, like the breed of dog and racial makeup of participants.

“The BHPD is planning to bury the dog for the man.”

What an excellent way of promoting police/neighborhood unity.

LOL, that dog is at the Taxidermy getting ready to put on the precinct wall.

Hey look, the dumbf uck obsessed with dogs.....

Still never shot a dog. Weird. Stevie still hasn't done anything....ever....

The police keep doing these "officer safety" killings and people are going to start doing "citizen safety" on the LEO's.

The sooner the better.

Get to it billy badass. Oh wait, you are a f ucking coward that won't do anything...ever....

What are you waiting for? If it's the courage to do anything....lol you're going to be waiting forever

I heard in 🇺🇸 pedestrians and bicyclists get no respect from motorists. Hit in the face, tazed and his dog gets killed got to 😢 for this fella.

Such brave seal team 6 key board commandos. Go, sign up and be the police. Show us all has it is done. Be the hero's that you claim to be, Why deny the public your tact, wisdom and your incredible problem solving skills under difficult circumstances. I am confident that you hero's would never over react or under react. Please save the police profession with god given skills. We need you! We are hiring..........! Oh, that's right, you guys are only gifted/brave while on a computer key board.

Sometime back Ingwe posted a pic of a police dog latched on a guy’s butt about 6-10’ up a tree. That’s the dog that fella needed.

Can’t do the cop thing,

Taking an Oath means something to me.

Can’t bring myself to stand down and watch innocents being violently attacked for any reason, especially for a pension.

Being ordered to not only watch small businesses being burned to the ground, but arresting those that try and stop it, doesn’t sit well with me.

Arresting mothers and the elderly for not wearing a mask, or bringing their children and grandchildren to the park at the orders of a politician is beyond reprehensible.

…and I have enough whitetail mounts, I don’t need any Golden Retrievers or Yellow Labs on my wall.

Now GFY you Gob of Spit

You can't do shi t, you f ucking coward.

Last week I had the pleasure of helping interview a sick f uck (like you) that had been making his 8yr old stepdaughter suck his dic for the past three years. He confessed and will be going to prison for a while.

This week I got to charge and arrest another sick f uck like you that tried to forcibly rape a woman in her front yard in broad daylight. Thank gawd for ring doorbell cameras and audio....it was all on video.

I don't have time to shoot pitbulls. Not all talk like you, coward.

You heard mostly wrong.

The dog was a sad loss.

Follow up to the dog shooting.

I guess it is legal to taze a guy walking away as no charges were filed.

And the dog was doing what an untrained good dog does even if it was a pit.

Do the cops get to keep the dog, have it mounted and placed on the wall of the precinct?

A trophy is a trophy.

We had a situation where a man's dog bit a neighbor and a deputy came and killed it and then had the owner cut its own dogs head off

Story

"A police report said that the owner of the dog or a veterinarian needed to cut the head off the dog so it could be tested for rabies. When he heard that, Godwin began cursing and Hollis said "you're not fixing to talk to me or my deputies like that," according to a police report the Telegraph said.

Godwin he said he didn’t have a knife to do it with. He told the Telegraph the deputies gave him the option of paying a veterinarian to cut the dog’s head off, but with Christmas around the corner money was tight.

The girlfriend wound up removing the dog’s head with a kitchen knife while Godwin and one of the deputies gave her instructions, the Telegraph reported. A video showed that she put the dog’s head in a white, plastic bag. The investigator told her to deliver it to the health department that night. She took it there at 7 p.m. and said she cried all the way."

Cop got it mounted.

Sounds to me like it was probably a beef between driver and guy with dog, guy with dog hits others car with fist, guy gets out, gets punched, cops see the whole thing and go after guy with dog, dog and guy try to run, cop taser dog owner several times because he was fighting, dog gets into it , like any good dog would, but ends up dead, probably two Mexican’s doing what they do and a pit gets wasted. Good day in the neighborhood

My neighbor had a Rottweiler that lunged at a woman cop, was shot, and ran away.
The local news parked a van with satellite uplink and generator running all night long.
I ran across the dog limping home the next day and called the police.
Animal control and police vehicles sped to the scene.
I complained to the police, "Lunged? I have been bitten 3 times by dogs in this city, and never shot any of them."
A policeman screamed in my face, "AND YOU HAD BETTER NOT!"

Normally to test for rabies they quarantine for 10 days or so I think. As to the dog shooting and owner tazeing I can't say. I wasn't there but I will opine. It costs nothing to be courteous and comply with police requests or demands. Being combative is just going to escalate the situation. Police are human and I'm sure some do make mistakes. That dog would likely be alive if the man hadn't walked away and set in motion a situation that got out of control. Pit Bull dogs have a bad reputation in the first place. I'm not a cop but if one came charging at me and I had a pistol out I'd probably have shot the bugger too.

if the purpose of tazing someone is to make that person unable to do anything, just how in the hell, does the cop expect the dogs owner to control his dog after he zapps him?"

The the video of the incident on the new last night.

With the "zap and shoot" policy.

I moved here this past June and must be something in the water. It's technically inside a city but we have deer turkeys neighbors on both sides have chickens and grandchildren. Amazingly when the thug hoodlifers up the road get a new Pit or Rott or whatever it's found in a ditch deceased. Nobody knows anything.
