Police officer under investigation after shooting leashed yellow lab in backyard

On June 12, Tyler Muzzi returned home after lunch to discover a stranger walking back and forth outside his neighbor's home. Muzzi saw the man walk up the neighbor's driveway twice before disappearing around the opposite side of the home. Muzzi alerted the homeowner, Bryant Steele, who then called the Cleveland police.
The police arrived at Steele's home within minutes and arrested the man, who had entered his house but exited to give himself up to police.
Assuming that police were finished with the scene, Muzzi said he was surprised to hear gunshots later. Unsure of where the shots were fired, Muzzi opened his front door to see what had happened. "At first, I thought I had heard only two shots, but there were actually three that had been fired," said Muzzi. "I thought they had shot the man in custody or something."
An officer told Muzzi that his yellow labrador was shot and that he needed to check on the dog. Muzzi rushed to his backyard to find his dog, Miller, injured, while the officers and the investigator who shot the dog looked on silently, hesaid. The dog had been tied to a leash before the police arrived on scene. When he saw his dog lying on the ground wounded, Muzzi said he was in complete shock. Quickly, he wrapped his dog in towels and called the Cleveland Pet Clinic to say that he was coming with his injured dog. The police called animal control which arrived to help Muzzi transport his dog to the vet. The veterinarians found that Miller's spine had been severed in two places. Shortly after, the dog died.
Muzzi said the police officer who shot the dog apologized to Muzzi and told him that he felt threatened and didn't see the leash, but later on, Cleveland Police Chief Charles Bingham told Muzzi and his wife Bethany that the investigator saw the leash but had the right to shoot the dog since he felt threatened.

When did the lab strong arm a gas station?
I hope this cop gets in an accident, needs a service dog, who then walks him into traffic and leaves him there.

Oh, well, never mind then. It's ok folks. These people investigated themselves and found themselves not guilty of any wrong doing.
What a bunch of fricking pussies.

If a cop ever shoots my dog they'll need a SWAT team to put me down

Can I shoot a cop if I felt threatened?

Unbelievable that this keeps happening. Don't tasers work on dogs?
Posted on 6/18/15 at 9:32 am to NYNolaguy1
if you are scared of any dog, you are too much of a coward to be a cop.

I guess that's my main questing with this one. If the guy was already arrested and in the front of the house, why the frick was any cop still in the backyard?

It's not going to change anything. They will always have the right to smoke ole yeller anytime they feel threatened. They will never make a law that says on officer has to be bitten before they shoot. Just accept it already.
If enough of these pussies get fired maybe it will change. If they are so threatened by a dog on a leash that they have to shoot it then I don't want them protecting and serving shite in my neighborhood.

I didn't say that. The dog didn't deserve to be shot. The officer had a right to protect himself though.
From a leashed dog in the next door neighbor's yard, bullshite
