WARNING, graphic/police shoot restrained dog. - Page 2

It look to me to be a couple of guys who knew absolutely nothing about handling a dog. I believe most of us here, with a handful of high value treats, could have had that dog heeling off to anywhere. She was not being aggressive, in fact she was in avoidance, and frightened.

Ignorant is the only word that fits the scene. Given two words,

ing Ignorant would be my choice.

Truly and utterly sickening!!!! Those COWARDS should be jailed for that! The poor dog was easily able to be put in a crate and I can't believe how long the one murderer let him lay there with a gunshot wound while it's tail wagged before he finished him off. Too much!!

Oh no, I have NO problem with an officer or civilian putting a dog down that is truly threatening them... However, an act like that is just sad... The fact that the dog still didn't show signs of aggression after being SHOT really says that was one good dog. It was giving calming signals to him after he shot it once, not aggressive ones, even though I wouldn't blame the dog then...

I have nothing against cops, nothing at all, I am very thankful for them... But I think if you're going to work a job like that, you need to NOT be scared to death of dogs... Two cops we had over once, one wouldn't get near J when he was 9 weeks old... He offered him a bit of burger at a stab of not being scared, but when J came running he dropped the food and stood up quickly. I have no doubts that if a full grown dog came running at him, friendly or not, he'd shoot it out of fear...

I have said this many times, I think officers who are going to work in public need to take a basic course on canine body language, and how to properly handle a dog situation...

Just to let you guys know, it's not close up, there's no sound and you see no blood, it's still very heart wrenching though...

Have to disagree... the moron-murderer should jailed!!! That was an execution!!!!

Totally uncalled for!! From the video, that dog was showing no aggression. Maybe fear, but that is common when u have a dog on the pole. IMO that police officer was scared to death. Look at his stance, all stiff. I'll bet that is the only reason why he shot the dog was because the cop was scared. Why wasn't AC called in? You can tell by the dogs body language that it wasn't being aggressive, even when on the pole. It was pulling back not lunging forward. No tail was up, no hair was standing, body wasn't stiff. Totally sickens me. Hope this "cop" gets his. It should be mandated that AC takes care of any animal situation. Gee, would you send an animal control officer to take care of a home invasion? No. So, don't send a cop to take care of an animal problem.

I watched the video and i was appalled if the need arises that a dog needs to be shot i can deal with it, yes the dog was scared of the catch pole but the one thing that really got me was after the first shot. The dog is wagging its tail he didnt even manage to kill it on the first shot just stood watching it for a while before shooting a 2nd time. I agree that AC could have been called in the case to remove the dog then if need be put down humanely, it does not put the police in a good light at all.
