I will not contest your argument that a police officer CAN shoot a dog if he feels threatened by the dog. I may not like it, but I’m pretty sure it’s legal for him to do so.

Not exactly. You could take that reasoning further and say that a cop could therefore shoot a person simply for feeling threatened. If you are worried that the dog might do something, that is, it poses a threat, then you give the owner the opportunity to restrain the dog as long as it is reasonable to do so. He had his weapon drawn. The “suspect” was calm and not holding a weapon. There was no reason to not let him get his dog. According to the owner, from what I’ve read, the dog was not attacking and he is more credible than the cop and even on the recording you don’t hear the cop saying to the owner the dog attacked him when the owner asked why he shot his dog. The truth is obvious: the cop is afraid of dogs and that doesn’t make his actions right or justified.

This is like ping pong with 25 paddles and one ball…bouncing all over the place but never hitting the floor even after so many pages…

I’m no good at it, but ping pong is kind of fun. I wanna get a table and paddles when I live in a place with enough space. Funny thing is that if there’s a ping pong table it’s not too hard to get someone to play even if they suck. But then again… there is air hockey, that’s where the real fun is at.

Glorieta dog killed by State Police officer

A Glorieta family woke up Friday without Jilly.

The family’s 11-year-old dog was shot and killed Thursday by a New Mexico State Police officer who was on the family’s property.

The department tells our media partners at KOB-TV that it will investigate the incident, but initially sees no cause for disciplinary action. KOB-TV did not indicate whether the officer’s name was made public.

“Was there things that could have done different? Absolutely, however that’s the situation that occurred and so now we’ll deal with it,” Lt. Robert McDonald said.

Victoria Baca on Thursday morning called police to file a report about an internet scam she recently fell victim to. State Police could not come immediately, so Baca went to run errands with her young children and asked that she be called when the officer was on the way so she could meet the officer at the home.

The officer, she says, went to her home and never called. The officer hopped the fence to her property ? a fence with a clearly posted “Beware of Dog” sign ? and says one of two dogs Baca had on the property bit him. The officer shot and killed Jilly.

State police said the officer thought Baca was home and entered her property.

Police called Baca after the shooting and when she and her children arrived home, Jilly was dead on the front porch of their home.
“My 4-year-old’s response was, ‘Did they shoot our dog?’” Baca said. “My son walked up the stairs and started shaking her, trying to wake her up.”

Baca said she plans to hire an attorney.

“I called for help and instead I ended up with the loss of a family member,” Baca said.

McDonald told KOB-TV it appears the officer was only acting in self defense and he said the department apologizes to the family for the tragic event.

“It’s too late for an apology,” Baca told KOB-TV. “She’s gone, an apology isn’t going to bring her back.”

Come on, HG spin us this one!

What, if anyone can bullshit this into a scenario into something positive and necessary it is you!

I have decided that your buffonery is a form of art and the last case did not pose enough of a challenge for you to develop as an artist.

Come one now, you can do it !?!

I can somewhat relate to the sentiment, just understand that you would end up dead in all probability.

I think you have the right idea. These pricks can’t be reasoned with. They won’t be held accountable.
There’s only one thing that’ll get through to them and I think we all know what that is.
If it’s done right there and then, the person would easily be caught. It’s better if things are sorted out by random events.

There was a stupid woman that rode her bike in a local dog park and fucking ran over one of my dogs about 3 years ago.

She only slowed down a bit and she made some stupid noise like “oh no look out” but non-verbal (This is in Taiwan) but didn’t stop and both wheels right over my dog.

Fortunately my dog was OK but I was so enraged I yelled at her (I can speak some Chinese…even curse in it…but the whole world understands FUCK YOU!) and swore and barely held myself back from picking up her bike and just throwing it.
