Look, I know you don't know me, so I'm not going to expect you to pick up on my humor...that's cool.. but I'm clowning. I don't really think that a defenseless animal, (chihuahua or not, which I seriously do hate) getting shot by the police is a good thing.
Settle down, I was only joking. I didn't mean to make the baby Jesus cry.

therefore the incident is a reflection of the whole department.
Every day we see more and more outrageous LEO incidents, for every outrages incident that makes the news there are thousands of injustices that don’t.
There are millions of people across the country that read their local paper and never question the one sided version of events, written by some local hack.
So as this kid grows up has more cop related trauma, hits thirty snaps and shoots a couple cops people can wonder, why did it happen?
P.S The Quinn bill is legalized theft.
Scott and Sharon Bullock discovered the dog's blood and three bullets on their porch after returning from a funeral last Friday.
They called the local police station and discovered what had happened to Jack, who was a birthday present for their 12-year-old son.
"They first chose physical means, then a Taser, and when those two didn't work, he had no option but to shoot the dog."
"As badly as the officer was getting bitten, he had to do something to protect himself," Mr Hartinger said.

I am only wondering why he never called for a SWAT team.
Police say the small dog had bit a jogger and they were trying to contain it, when it clamped down on an officer’s hand and would not let go.
A taser didn't work and neither did the first two gun shots, according to police.
“The officer's obligated to try to do something to contain this dog," said Lieutenant Paul Hartinger, of the Blue Ash police department.
"Once they finally did contain it, then the dog attacked the officers,” said Lt. Hartinger.
“The officers, as badly as the officer was getting bitten, he had to do something to protect himself,” said Hartinger. “They first chose physical means, then a taser and when those two didn't work, he had no option but to shoot the dog."
Police say the dog bit the officer 17 times on one hand and nine times on the other.
The officer is expected to recover.
Monday night the family told 9News they wondered why the officers didn't call the SPCA to catch the 5 lb. dog.
According to a press release issued by Blue Ash Police on Wednesday, the report provided to them by the SPCA, who examined the dog after the incident, states the dog’s primary breed as a Jack Russell Terrier and that it weighed 20 pounds.

They’ve cited the dog’s owner for one count of failure to register the dog, in addition to two counts “relating to his allowing the dog to run at large.”
