Many ordeals can be avoided by leaving the cops out of it. The moment they show up all hell breaks loose.
Anyone who has ever called a cop has obviously no experience dealing with cops other than watching Andy Griffith let the town drunk sleep one off. Today Andy would shoot the drunk in the street.
He said he separated the two dogs -- cutting his hand inside Parrot's mouth in the process -- and was subduing his dog when police arrived.
OBSERVED W-1 ON THE GROUND ON TOP OF A TAN COLORED PITBULL DOG TRYING TO CONTROL IT. W-2 WAS OBSERVED STANDING TO THE SIDE HOLDING A WHITE POODLE THAT HAD A BLOODY LEG. THE PITBULL WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET UP BY SQUIRMING BACK AND FORTH AND TRYING TO BITE AT W-1. THE PITBULL HAD A BLOODY NOSE AND APPERARED TO BE OUT OF CONTROL. W-1 WAS OBSERVED TO HAVE BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. C-2, BEING A CANNIE HANDLER, ATTEMPTED TO CONTROL THE PITBULL BUT WAS BITEN ON THE HAND AND WRIST.
A District police officer restrains one of two dogs that were involved in an unrelated incident in Adams Morgan on Sunday, September 12.

Where does it say anywhere in the article or the police report that the dog was restrained?
and was SUBDUING his dog when police arrived.
The picture the post has displayed with a dog being kneeled on is not the dog that was shot.
described as either a pit bull or Shar-Pei mix.
That's like a battered wife stating she bruised her face by running into her husband's fist

Awwww. I struck a nerve with all the canine lovers and their precious animals.
The owner is trying to claim to that the dog didn't have a bite history, yet it bit another dog as he was walking by.
HISTORY, meaning it didn't bite before. Especially not people, according to him.
History meaning that he has no idea what the dog did before he came into his care, or how the dog was trained or treated. It also shows you don't know anything about dog behavior, aggression is aggression and waffles between other dogs and humans.
If I was a civilian with a ccw, I would shoot a charging dog too.
The cop, unrestrained the dog, threw it away, and then shot it.
Would you do that as a citizen? Be prepared to be gunned down yourself then.
How violent.
No dog is worth a human life. If you can't take care of an animal and train it properly, that is your responsibility. If the animal is aggressive, it is up to you as an owner to have it put down if it can't be trained.
If a dog bites,scratches, or hurts a person, you are liable for a nice lawsuit. Consider it a favor that I shoot it as opposed to taking you through court for everything you have.
Judging from your replies here, I'd say you are somehow affiliated to the cops.edit on 10-8-2012 by DjangoPhat because: (no reason given)
My affiliations are not of any importance. But I have had plenty of experience with stupid dog owners. No one goes around admitting they have an aggressive dog in public. No one goes around admitting they are a terrible owner.
My affiliations are not of any importance.
No dog is worth a human life.

You must have never had dog or any other animal in your life. Because most people who have dogs that can take them with them, can and will. And why not? Most dogs don't bite unless you do something to them. As far as we know the poodle could have done something. The Pit could have been a female and the Poodle a male, which in any case, the female could very easily get pissed if the male tried mounting her. Been around dogs all my life, especially pits, female pits tend to get very snappy when unknown dogs do that.edit on 10-8-2012 by th3onetruth because: bad typing day lol

I am really offended that you refer to me as a dog.
Tactics of a low life.
Quite a few people apparently. Next time something should happen to you I'll be sure to great you with "why would nixie be there anyway?"

Twice you compare me to the dog, though you try to remove responsibility by adding people to the second one. But it is a stupid comparison anyways because the dog was a human festival, not a dog one.
