Dog get's shot by police *WARNING* may upset alot of viewers.

[ace_of_something]

I don't think you understand what a threat is qualified as. A dog can be lethal even a non-rabid one. If say a suspect loosed his 3 fucking pitbulls on you (has happened to me and a partner trying to serve a goddamn warrent for fucking check fraud) than that is considered a weapon and deadly force can be necessary. It certainly made us feel terrible.

I honestly do not believe these policeman, according to a site i originally found the video on, the police shot it because it was a threat to them...yeh, whatever.

You're unaware of any of the circumstances surrounding the situation. This is exactly why the 'video the police on youtube' thing tends to cause more problems than it solves. Because people don't get context and the poster can set it up however they want. Unlike professional press who put things in context (usually). Why do you think they don't report on all these videos? Because often times upon investigation, and yes we do get calls, they find out that the guy getting smacked just pulled a knife and it was thrown a few feet away. Or the dog just shredded a kid's leg.
I don't know where this takes place but where I live, in the situation of a Violent animal; unless danger is immediate we call animal control. If they deem the animal a danger, too dangerous to try to bring back to euthanize. (i've never done it or even heard of it done actually but it is in the policy) The animal control people have tranquilizers to calm the animal and than the animal is injected with the euthanization drug on the spot.
Again in 10 years never seen that actually done. We have always been able to at have AC take the animal to the shelter to be euthanized. I have seem them use a tranquilizer. Which by the way only knocks out the animal for about a minute. Enough time to get them in a crate.

Edit:
That being said... something DOES seem wrong here. I wouldn't call those cops malicious so much as I'd call them stupid and likely breaking protocol

Really? Seven pages over a dog? Boohoo, a single animal has died, I must mourn its loss. You know, there are actual humans getting killed every day. Surely there are better things to focus all this attention on.

It's more the focus on police brutality than the actual dog dying, you damn buzz kill.

In that case I hear there was quite a bit of that during the recent student protests in the UK. You know, human students.

Police brutality on a dog. Jesus Christ, has the phrase lost so much meaning?

Seems kinda sketchy to me.

Reminds me of Hellboy.

"Why are all these pictures of big foot, aliens, the Lochness monster... Why are they always blurry?"

In this case, why is there no audio?

And yeah, it seems like Police officers are just trying to piss off the public these days, dont it?

 

[Tdc2182]

The police are always in the wrong. This is fact. They deserve any blame they get and that guy should be fired. This is what power does to people and there should be a better screening process.

Haha, Oh great.

Glad to see an intelligent person in this world. "Police are always wrong, because I see videos on the internet"

 

[Tdc2182]

I'm thinking taser, just saying.

Taser? You kidding me? That would piss the dog off even more.

Humans react differently to those kinds of things, because they actually understand.

You try tazing a dog? Sure, it will go down as long as you are sending a stream of electricity into it, but as soon as you stop that thing is going to flip. It has no idea whats going on, and its not gonna hang around to find out.

Tranqulizer? (though I doubt any police officer has a tranquilizer gun).

Or, who knows? Maybe get an actual person who knows how to deal with dogs?

 

[Tdc2182]

As for the idea of many rapists being so because of what they went through, that is unfortunate. However, they're still dangerous. I will admit that those who have a chemical imbalance that can be cured easily with medication probably actually can be cured though.

Maybe the reason they are so dangerous is because of the mentality of our culture that demonises them.

But hey, that's just my theory. We as a society don't help this situation at all. In fact, we make it worse.

Or... maybe they are so dangerous because they... rape people? Just a though.

American police!
The dog was probably owned (judging by its collar) presented no threat and it just seems like 2 fat guys got scared of a big dog barking.

That is exactly what it was. Two idiots with a gun.

Being an American Police officer had absolutely nothing to do with it.

I think you should ignore Piratekitty. At first the points he/she made were valid enough I.E looking for the situation surrounding the shooting. However even with the evidence, continues to be abrasive and rude. This , combined with other comments I have read by pirate kitty, make me suspect that they are just trolling, and thus not worth responding to.

OT: The situation seems clear that the dog should NOT have been shot, I hope there is some sort of official action taken on this.

 

[LongAndShort]

That was a bit fucked. He didn't have to shoot it a second time, it looked pretty helpless.

Fuck.

But of course it has something to do with them being American, all Americans are fat morons who have a hard-on for killing things with guns out of sheer malice, right?

/satire of annoying foreign stereotypes of Americans (I'm Canadian I love guns by the way)

 

[noble cookie]

They look like two amatures screwing up a job to me.

Agreed. I was thinking if these two were any good at what they do, that dog wouldn't need to have been shot.

Man, if I could bet how many people didn't read this, I'd be slightly richer given the odds a bookie would put up.

 

[MelziGurl]

Wtf?! I am enraged at the fact that they not only shot the dog once, but shot it in the head after letting it lay there in pain. It didn't even do anything to warrant being shot in the first place. If you're going to kill the poor animal, do it the first time don't be a c**t about it

 

[SovietSecrets]

Thats pretty depressing. No idea why that dog was shot, but still being a dog owner thats just depressing. I like animals and feel bad when they have to be put down.

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

Fuck pigs, man. I love when I see on the news some fucking pig was shot. Makes me smile to see REAL justice.

I apologise for any offense I may have caused, I have just seen enough to have generated a stereotype of American law enforcement.

He's right, though. All pigs are worthless and corrupt, and need to be removed, American or not.

I'm assuming by "pigs" you mean Police officers?
