Police Officer shoots dog

[Captain O]

AGREED. If your dealing with an arrest and a young kid comes out of the house with a gun say that he will kill you- thats an easy one. When a dog comes charging at you barking in the same situation, it might make you hesitate; but in the end its still an easy one

Yes, Peter. I loved my animals. When my Red Point Shorthair Siamese Cat "Sammy" had to be put down (I shot him to death myself because I couldn't afford to have a Vet do it). I wept for five days.

Dogs are a different matter. They bite and generally carry more virulent diseases. It is unfortunate when one has to be shot, but no one ever said life was fair.

A "screaming vagina"... That is a picture best left unseen!

Yep youre not wrong but Id ask exactly which dog you are willing to let bite you? Especially one that you dont know its history OR medical status.

I see this as just like the owners kid busting out of the house with a gun. and shouting "Im gonna kill you cop" F Him, DRT on the sidewalk, Im not waiting for him to shoot. In THIS case the dogs actually bit the Officer

Like suspects in court…the pics of dogs show them all smiley and happy, not growling and defending their turf. And while cops shoot 10,000 dogs a year, and none have been killed. How many were injured? Dog bites are nasty, whether by a K-9 or Fluffy the Labradoodle.
