Also, you do realize almost all patrol cars have laptop computers in them, that also has gps.

You do realize that laptops and GPS sometimes fail, right?
My GPS gets wonky every now and then and I have to wait for it to get the signal back.

Not granting this officer any sort of real life options are you?

OK lets see whats more plausible

That he was there for some othe reason

or

-He was lost in a town he patrols
-He was embarrassed he was lost
-He didnt want to bother dispatch
-He had radio troubles
-His GPS didnt work
-He was close to location he was looking for but just quite couldnt find it

Im sure you can come up with some other ridiculous scenerio, but i dont think we need to.

Is the owner responsible in any way for having an unmonitored, unleashed dog that isn't inside any enclosure and that charges people when they are near her house?

I'm just curious as to what you guys think about that.
If I did this I could get a serious fine, or worse.

I do see most of you have already made up your mind about the officer, so I'm curious as to how you feel about the owners possible negligence.

Just forget for a moment that he was a cop, because it makes no difference, he has no more right to be on her property than you or i do.

So somebody pulls up into your driveway on your property and proceeds to shoot your dog when it comes running up to a stranger.

There is no justification for it.

Look i know every community is different, but rarely is it a law that you have to have your dog leashed or penned up as long as it stays on your own property.

So no she bears no responsibility, and if there happens to be a law that states your dogs must be leashed on your property, then by all means give her the $50 fine, but you dont shoot her dog.

That dog should have known better than to mess with the guy with the badge and gun...oh wait...

Police officers are trained to deal with armed and dangerous men without shooting, but oh hell here comes the terrorist dog! SHOOT SHOOT!

When i see stuff like this, one has to be glad that they're not allowed to shoot at everyone they think it's dangerous or we would be having a lot of "Police officer shoots 3 year old, he claims self defense".

It is extremely difficult to see any justification for such a cold-blooded crime. An example needs to be made of this cop that says "cops have responsibilities and can only use their guns as a last resort. Anything less will NOT be tolerated." The behaviour of this cop in this video encompasses many of the things people HATE about corruption in law enforcement.

I think the owner is handling it pretty well. If it were me and he did that to my dog...I wouldn't like to even consider my state of mind in that kind of situation. It's one of those situations where being rational and keeping your composure get completely overwhelmed by feelings of hate and hunger for retribution.

The cop was lucky this did not happen on my farm when I was growing up. We had numerous dogs. If a stranger came in the dogs always just went right to the car. They growled and the like. Technique we taught them. They would not attack anyone unless given a command. It is a technique to keep idiots at bay, especially salesman and government types. A lot of farmers and ranchers do this. Dogs are tools. Used to protect the farm or whatever while away. You know, against thieves and the like.

This dog, more than likely was acting in defense of it's home, IMO. You would be surprised what dogs do when not trained properly. Unless it was a super playful one that jumps up on strangers like so may do.

That being said, if this would have been at my home while growing up, this cop would probably be lucky to be living.

NO COP or anyone else for that matter, has the frelling right to enter a property and then claim self defense when an animal attacks them. PERIOD.

This is PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. Stay the frell off other people's property. PERIOD.

ARGHHH!

You are always gonna have people justify these type of cops no matter what they do. And these people are the reason cops will always be able to do it.

They never put the shoe on the other foot. 100% of these supporters would be raving mad if the cop pulled up to their private land in the middle of nowhere and shot their dog. But it didnt happen to them so they are cool wid it.

If a citizen with a gun permit pulled up on someones private land to ask for directions and shot the dog they would probably be charged.

This cop had a passenger and just wanted to show off.
