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

[Mrsoupcup]

I'll wait unitil the whole storys out, right now all we have is speculation and that video. Also anyone who honestly believes every police officer is out to fuck you, you are very very immature. We have like what, 3 million cops in North America? Some of them are going to be bad, the same with every other profession. Thats why we end up with rapist Postal Workers and thief Charity volunteers.

This forum is bugged out the ass. Ignore.

 

[mr_rubino]

Allow me to whip out my patented crystal ball again: The slant in this thread will be completely different than the one about the UK cops dragging the cripple across the street. He's just a widdle dawgie. He can't be a threat. Now if he was a dude saying mean things? Shoot the bastard before he can cause a Quaker's Instant Riot.

I say kill violent animals before they kill you.

Would you say the same for people? Difference is very dim sometimes. Killing something just because you're afraid of it, and you can somehow justify it to yourself ("hell its only an animal" approach) isn't the answer.

 

[Madara XIII]

It's like you're assuming that just because he's a serial rapist automatically makes it ok to murder him...

Rapists deserve to be murdered. They forfeit their right to life.

A bit extreme but I can agree. Sometimes leaving them in a cell isn't the best option considering some of the sickwads have no conscience. And honestly I'd rather they be removed from society

 

[Madara XIII]

Bandage up that bleeding heart of yours unless you have absolute, solid context.

Very wise words indeed. I'd like to smack the Original Post with Descarte's firt meditation in that you can't make such claims unless you have solid irrefutable proof. (P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure if that was his 1st or 2nd meditation that stated that)

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Glad to see the forum is not jumping to conclusions here. /sarcasm

For all we know that dog was rabid and had killed a child in the neighborhood.

oh to hell with that....and for all you know some asshole left that frightened dog chained to the back of a pick up and the bastard cops shot the poor thing before trying some other more sound means

 

[Wicky_42]

First, nice irony there Kitty, jumping to the conclusion that the cops were right and defending that attitude ferociously.

You are wrong.

I am refraining from judgement.

For all I know, the police officers were in the wrong.

Ok, fair point - though you are going after people who express anger at the police's actions. More info is out though - see below. Time to make a decision as to whether the cops' actions were validated or whether they abused the power that they had over the animal, setting it up as a warning to others who fail to register their pets.

I'll wait unitil the whole storys out, right now all we have is speculation and that video.

Right you are. The only thing we know is that we see is some coppers killing a dog. You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see there could be myriad explanations.

 

[THAC0]

In any situation where life must be taken, the responsibility is on the person taking that life to be sure that there are no other alternatives.

people here are saying that the dog was violent or aggressive, but from the video i can not see that. we have no reason to think that this dog was a threat to anyone or had ever hurt anyone just going on the context of the video.

We do see a cop restraining the dog and then killing it.

Based just on that. the cop is clearly in the wrong.

assume a rant about bastard cops with their heads up there asses follows or something if you like. but we just don't see the dog doing anything wrong.

 

[Hairetos]

I could post a video of a serial rapist getting shot by police and leave the comment: 'homeless man offends cop - is shot dead' and, considering how quick everyone here is to blindly follow in suit, you'd believe it.

Silly.

To make that situation parallel to this one, the rapist would have to be handcuffed to a pole, then executed by the police officer. I don't think that video would go over well at all.

Don't bother arguing with Pirate Kitty. She's like the most lawful neutral member of this forum. Nothing you say will change her opinion of The Law.

Anywho, yeah, they're assholes from the looks of the videos. I see no blood in its maw or anything else that indicates a violent past. Just some everyday police sadism.

 

[RatRace123]

Not enough info for me to tell what's really happening, but a dog getting killed just because... that's really depressing.

Then again, I like dogs a lot more than I like people, so I'm biased.

 

[Baby Tea]

But the second video shows the officers stroking the dog and walking up to it.

Yep, that dog is the worst dog ever and had to be shot /sarcasm.

That means nothing.
Seriously, nothing.

My wife had a dog when she was a child, and it bit a neighbour's kid.
Took a piece of her ear.

That dog was a very nice dog, and only ever bit that one kid once, because she was hugging it. It panicked and bit her. The dog was put down.

This dog could have done the same thing. IT could have attacked, for whatever reason, a child, man, or woman. And if a dog attacks a person, it gets put down. I am all for fighting animal abuse, but I would kill any animal that seriously harmed myself, or my family. Even if it was my own dog. If it does it once, it can (And likely will) do it again. It's a hazard, and should be removed.

Beyond that we have little to no info about this case.
I'd put my trust in the officers far sooner then some random, out of context video on the internet.

Well I stand corrected, lets just hope people realise only these specific cops are dicks.

Seems like this generation gets more paranoid every day...

 

[standokan]

My heart ripped when they shot him, but if the dog was evil then they had no other choice.

Not the aim of prison or the legal system in general. Thank God you gents are just avatars on a message board. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to start a journey to find out what this has to do with the thread. *grabs coat and meerschaum pipe*

 

[emeraldrafael]

Why would you need two police officers to hand a stray dog?

Actually.. why do you even need to shoot the dog? I know officers did it in my hometown once, but the dog had rabies and attacked a kid. You could just have one officer sneak up behind it while the other distracts the dog.

They could have at least tranquilized it.

Wow... finally someone read the article, instead of continuing incessant rants about not having enough information.

For all I know the dog was the nicest animal in the world and that cop just felt like shooting it.

What's your point?

Objective, people - stay it.

There's a difference between being objective and waiting for a 'credible' source to tell you what to think.

There's also a difference between being objective and just plain dense.
