just seen a cop almost kill a guys dog!

[Escanabajosh]

was on my way to help my dad with a cement job and on the way we go past a house with a sheriff car in the yard. get closer and the cops outta his car with his had on his gun about to draw as this guys lab runs up to him to great him.


Laid on the horn as we went by and it distracted both the cop and the dog, hope things turned out ok for the dog

this is getting outta hand! ya see the video where the cop pulls up asking for directions and shoots the peoples dog....didn't know they had cameras till he started fibbing and they proved him wrong

I do have respect for some police....mostly the old ones, the young kid cops aint nothing but a bunch of punks them selfs!

that is crazy....

How do you know the cop didn't chase a bank robber to that house, and the guy sicced his dog on the cop? I'd hate to think the cop got mauled or bitten due to your misplaced horn honk. Sometimes it's best to mind your business if you aren't going to stop and offer some assistance. How can you make a judgement call based on how little info you had?

This is true..your situational perspective may be screwd 'josh' since you didn't see how the whole event went down.

I'm with dcreel..don't interfere, let the man do his job. your distraction may have gotten him hurt or cause him to make a judgement error that got someone else hurt!!

its just a dog, but like others said mind your own business.

I can top that....oldman around town bar to bar type. He has a beater minivan with fishing poles, nets drapped all over his homecamo paint job. He's an old flyfisherman with 2labs...the female just had pups. The rear vent window was missing on the one side. Guy goes into a bar and burger in the small town of ChagrinFalls Ohio...while the owners getting lunch, the male exits the van. Not far away is a city owned park, next to the river which runs threw town. The dog being a lab and a hot day goes for a swim. A cell phone call comes in a dog is on the lose. The responding cop came from the next town over... Moreland Hills Ohio. Out of his district, he'd thought he come and assist. SUPER ROOKIE shows up and just like the call there was a dog running lose but when aproched the dog retreated to the van. NOT being able to return jump into the missing window the Brown LAB stood gaurd over the van his female mate and pups inside. In a sitting position...well until SUPER ROOKIE started to box him in. The lab took an agressive stance and became adjatated...barks growels standing hair...never leaving his position under the window next to the rear tire. The Cop yelling at the dog became un-nerved with on lookers for not handeling the situation. S-R brakes out the pepper spray and unloads on the dog. The Cops arm was within 2ft of the dogs nose and the dog bit him....Super Cop then drops the spray and puts the dog down with 2shots from 5' away. You know the dog died under the window of the van...he never moved. Every time I see that cop I remind him of that day, and remind him that he lacks the skills it takes to hold his position. For fun I call him dogbite....in arguements between us he justifies his action by saying the dog assulted a police officer. I told him a SMART cop, would have walked into the burger joint asked for some meat...or food to bribe the dog. Don't worry folks the guy still has a badge making similar decisions...and the oldman who came out after hearing the gun shot was holding a togo box for the dogs has since passed.

On the other hand.. There is a reason for leash laws. The owner needs to take some responsibility for letting his dog run loose.

Or... When the cop goes inside to get a "bribe" as you call it, and the dog bites somebody. You realize the city and the cop would be liable for the damages? I think the cop handled business the way he should have.

There are a lot of A holes in my neighborhood that let their dogs roam the neighborhood. I won't hesitate to end any dog that comes on my property and shows agression towards me or my family. Find some meat.. lol

[Escanabajosh]

It was his yard!

The cop had warrent papers in his hand, know what them look like!

wasn't gunna watch some guy shoot a yellow lab when all it would have took was a dog treat!

[Escanabajosh]

guys we live in about as back woods country as you can get and our dogs, NONE OF OUR DOGS are on leashs unless in the city at the beach or something

[Escanabajosh]

[dcreel]

Having grown up around cops my whole life I find your ability to paint them all as "bad" or "crooked" as laughable. Go do the job, then and complain.

[cattle-dog]

its just a dog huh? some of the humans could use a good dose of loyalty,protection, and careing a dog has for humans, sickens me everytime someone thinks we are the master race who abuse, neglect, and simply not care about anyting because your a human. i guess some people have never felt how a great dog can make you feel kind of sad really.
cops have a tough job forsure but some tend to get a bit carried away,

A dog defending it's territory isn't going to be bought off with a dog treat.

Just because the cop had his hand on his sidearm doesn't mean he was going to shoot the dog. He's just at the ready to defend himself as he was trained to do.

You may have caused the situation to get out of control by honking and distracting him!!

If someone is setting fire to a box of kittens..intervene you're a hero.. If you see a cop doing his job..don't, your obstructing!!
