I am very attached to my dog, and consider her a family member. I would be willing to shoot at a cop that shot at my dog.

No one has posted the best part of the opinion yet, which may or may not be in the article I didn't click on.

Some turncoats in the department were going to testify for the dog owner that the police in that precinct take great pride in shooting dogs, to the point when an officer shoots a dog he gets a sticker on his locker as a badge of honor. Court: that's pretty bad, but it still doesn't make them responsible for shooting these two particular dogs.

I listen to a very libertarian podcast from the institute for justice. One of the guys was joking that he'll gladly help write the petition to have the whole court try to reverse the panels dumb, dumb ruling.

Dogs are considered "property" in the eyes of the law, sadly.

An a-hole dog that is big enough to cause harm to cops responding to a call and acting aggressively is a problem, though, right?


You mean like the ones un-armed animal control officers somehow approach and deal with on a daily basis without injury?

The ruling is regarding the police shooting your dog. Not you shooting your own dog.

If the penalty for shooting a police dog is the same as shooting a police officer, then shouldn't the same requirements for a police officer shooting me be applied to shooting my dog? That is, shouldn't the officer be constrained by the same protocols?

This is bullshite!

Having said that, a search warrant for an alleged heroin den with pitbulls isn't where I would want to fight this fight.


Police shoot a lot of dogs. We can have the legal fight wherever they want to.

If an Officer cannot discern and articulate when to shoot a dog and when not to shoot they likely do not need to be making choices on when to deprive someone of there freedom either.

A pit bull is automatically a threat. Sorry, poochie.
