Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Officer Shoots Dog at Boy's Birthday Party

Just to add, in my neighborhood...if a neighbor's dog gets out, we just catch it and bring it back to the family. If they are away, then we care for it until they get back.

My dad used to do the same when I was a boy, regardless of the pet - dog, horse, cow.

It's called being neighborly, do unto others and such...an idea often lost in America's urban jungles.

Okay, watched the dog-shooting part of the video, and then read the story.



First impression: "Trained service animal" my azz. What kind of moron lets a trained service animal run around loose in the street? (Neighbors reported it.) With another dog, too. So the owner is a fool.

Second impression: The officer needs a transfer to Animal Control.

And what do you do when the neighborhood dog doesn't get out, but is let out... everyday to roam the hood and crap where they please?

I ain't talkin' "pets". I'm talking about dog "lovers" who continuously drop litters of mutts off in the woods to grow up like coyotes. Like people, there's nothing better better than the good one's, and nothing worse than the bad ones.

IMO the cops a putz and went overboard.

One thing that's missing from this is the dog's history. The neighbors complained about him, so there might, could be a number of people on the street with stories of bad behavior.

Put another way, and for all we know, the dog might have had it coming.

"And what do you do when the neighborhood dog doesn't get out, but is let out... everyday to roam the hood and crap where they please?"

Well, that hasn't happened in our neighborhood in the 5 years we've lived here.

We actually get along with our neighbors, we share more than property lines.

Maybe the local cop shop should reassess procedures and issue a can of tennis balls to each officer.

Thousands have died from police Tasers. They're recorded, however, as death from cardiac arrest rather than death by Taser.

That's what normal folks do, but cops these days are selected for super dominant personality type, and this is cultivated further in academy and thereafter, i.e., their egos don't permit them to do anything that creates any impression other than total domination of whatever environment they find themselves in. Retreating from a dog would go counter to this.

I do the same thing.

Y'all have DQs way up there? Heck, I might come visit after all.

Ooooops fat thumb syndrome strikes again. Thanks. Next time I will just say intense Jack Booted Thug training.

There are no Whataburgers in Montana. Maybe they've got Luby's.

The Texas Legislature has proclaimed Whataburger an official state treasure.

It was a ridiculous waste of time and tax payer money, but I can't bring myself to complain about it. After all, it's Whataburger.

Yeah. And it is only open in the summer.

I swear they put meth on their burgers. First time I ate one I thought 'WTF is so good about this POS?'

About two weeks later I had to have another one.

OK, I've cooled down after watching the cop shoots family pet video. I'm strongly back into my more normal "cop disliker" camp.
FTR, that cop sucks and should be unemployed.

What a piece of sh*t of a cop.
