cops and dogs!

[jagdtank]

good deal! he should be charged with a crime.I was raised to respect cops but I've seen way to much. first off they are mostly nerds who want to be tuff.(especially rural ones)local cops here all tattooed "band of brothers"on them,what dorks! I was falsely arrested by a cop just like this.(I got him fired) had to spend 24 hours in jail first and pay a lawyer.  when my wife and i first got married I happened to look over and a cop was peeping tom on us and i got up and went to the door opened it and they shoved past me and searched my house despite my protest. wrong address.during joplin tornado cops beat a friend real bad who is a deacon in his church. handcuffed and pistol whipped him after although he didnt resist. (they thought he was a looter) then told him he didn't want to get in a pissing match with them so keep his mouth shut or they would have him in prison.I got picked up when I was seventeen for a unpaid ticket the cop ruffed me up in a suite on my way home from church with a bible on the dash. when another cop came to help him search my truck He took off his wide receiver type gloves and slapped his buddy high five and said "bagged him and tagged him!" my brother in law braggs about beating drunks constantly. actually every cop i know is like that.thats what kind are attracted to be a police anymore because shows like cops. serving their fellow man has nothing to do with it. it's just a desire for power and action. I have no tolerance for them. I have never comitted a serious crime and obey the as much law as I know. And the bad experiences I've just named are just a few I've witnessed. It's a wonder more arent shot. I'm not advocating that but I say no tolerance for lawless government employees. they have far to much power. more roofers get killed than cops per year. they deserve to be treated like heros when they act like one but otherwise they get payed for their job by us and should be held accountable to the highest degree.he should have been arrested for shooting the dog.I honest to goodness don't know what i'de do if someone started doing something like that to my property no respect at all. belongs in prison.

Well thats good news he was fired. Hopefully charges will brought up on him and he is found guilty of animal cruelty with a firearm and he can nvr posess a firearm again and he goes to prison n is put in gen pop.
Unfortunately, that bad apple has given that sheriffs dept a black eye and the other honest deputies unfortunately hav to put up with the name mud bc of 1 turd head. Hopefully this will be an eye opener for the state and local dept to adopt or empliment a training program on how to halt a supposed aggressive dog. To many times have dogs (non aggressive) been killed and that excuse of it showed aggression has been used.

That's one situation that would show how chicken schat a cop is if he was wearing one of those cameras. Pretty hard to make up a story when it is filmed!

There's a time and place to deal with an aggressive dog.  I don't understand why this cop didn't get the owners attention to get his dog under control. Or just wait. That was her property, and she was doing her job. Common sense stuff. And to call that farmer "Buddy" after shooting his dog had to have been punch in the gut.

I'm with u on the buddy comment. I ain't his buddy I'm his boss. I will call him sir if he is doing his job. He will show me the same respect. I had a run in with a county cop like him one evening. By time it was over the sheriff and he was apologizing. In person because I wouldn't accept it over the phone.

There are good LEO's and bad LEO's.  The good ones that defend, and allow the bad ones to stay around, are 99% of the problem. 

As for this article, it's complete crap.  The deputy in question needs a beating plain and simple.  Any grown man that has to shoot what looks like a 55 lbs dog is a 100% slang word for a cat.

This is happening way to often, cops are seldom charged or punished.  Glad to see this one lost his job.  No one that trigger happy should be allowed to own a gun.

I'd also like to know how the LEO's would have reacted if a suspect/citizen tried that excuse after shooting a police K9, "oooooh but i was scared it was going to attack me".  when a situation doesn't apply both ways, that's called horsepoop.

I just dont get it,, do the police forces not train police officers that a dog will usually protect his territory, esp when a stranger shows up with all the gear they carry on their service belts,, and that there are better alternatives than discharging a firearm?

[MrsLouisianaHogDog]

Mace would be an acceptable, NON LETHAL way of deterring a dog if they're that scared. In most cases though, seems as though a dog barking alerting his owners to strangers  = an aggressive dog that wants to maul you nowadays. 

Here's another example. Notice the footage of the bulldog happily mingling with the children of various ages in the backround.

Idiot.

can you say DUMBA$$!!!? who the hell aloud an idiot like that to carry a gun, let along have a job where he is to know right from wrong and to defend and serve the people. to bad his head wasn't under that particular foot, could have solved several issues at the same time, and that goes for the dipchit int he suite, he should go play in traffic on the I5, play a lil chicken with a loaded semi tck
