LINK to said to story. No pitbull, ot couldn't have handled it.

quote:

Former JSO Officer Vicente “Vinny” Rivera told Action News Jax he killed the German Shepherd, named Luke, in a St. Johns County backyard, but he said he did not deserve to lose his job over it.

quote:

Rivera said he's a former K9 officer and now trains dogs. He said he resigned a few months ago after JSO gave him the option to step down or be fired.

quote:

Rivera shot the dog in the fall of 2017, around the same time he was under an Internal Affairs investigation at JSO. An off-duty JSO officer who had just been in a crash on Lem Turner Road reported that Rivera cursed at him and did not stop to help. “The first thing that came out of his mouth was, ‘Hey, like, y’all need to get those f***ing cars out of the road,’” JSO Officer L.D. Taylor said during a recorded Internal Affairs interview earlier this year. It was Rivera’s first shift as a solo beat officer at JSO, according to Internal Affairs records.

(4)(a) Euthanasia shall be performed only by a licensed veterinarian or an employee or agent of a public or private agency, animal shelter, or other facility that is operated for the collection and care of stray, neglected, abandoned, or unwanted animals, provided the employee or agent has successfully completed a 16-hour euthanasia technician certification course. The curriculum for such course must be approved by the Board of Veterinary Medicine and must include, at a minimum, the pharmacology, proper administration, and storage of euthanasia solutions; federal and state laws regulating the storage and accountability of euthanasia solutions; euthanasia technician stress management; and proper disposal of euthanized animals. An employee or agent performing euthanasia before October 1, 1993, must obtain certification by October 1, 1994. An employee or agent who begins performing euthanasia on or after October 1, 1993, must obtain certification before performing any euthanasia. However, a certified veterinarian technician who is an employee or agent as defined in the subsection, may perform euthanasia without completing the certification course required by this subsection. Euthanasia must be performed in a humane and proficient manner

ignorance of the law is no excuse, especially when law enforcement is your job
