But on the front porch? Cops need to be able to deal with dogs (other than panic shooting them as they evacuate their bladder and bowels) or get out of the business.



Wait. Was the dog barking or something that the cop should have been able to predict it charging him as soon as they opened the door?

Wtf were the homeowners thinking? Do they let their pit bull charge out the door at everyone who walks up? Girl Scouts? Jehovahs witnesses?

Good grief, what a lame response.


So many people are killed by dogs nowadays, I can see the cop's issue. He oughta tie a kerosene-soaked rag around his ankle so the ants don't crawl up and eat his candy arse.

They will charge you with murder, and they


The are several recent cases where this was not the outcome.

This man shot and killed a SWAT officer that entered his home without identifying himself as police, he was cleared by the grand jury.

The jury determined it was self defense when this man shot a police officer that entered his home without identifying himself.

The tail wagging as it dies just kills me

That cop was out of line but the woman is to blame. She opened the door, she let the dog run out.

Terrible all the way around

She was loading stuff between the car and the home so she was going in and out. Left the door cracked. Fortunately there were no postal workers or delivery drivers coming around because they surely would have died as I assume many are killed by dogs.

Think about what you posted

Yes, this menace mutt has torn out of the door dozens of times to attack all manner of human. Pizza boys, Girl Scouts, Jehovah witnesses, kids selling Grit... You name it.

The only twat who couldn't handle it? A detective.

So the penalty for my damn dog getting out is for some half-wit to unload on him?

That nervous idiot needs to stick to handing out parking tickets

This isn't "so many cops." This is one cop who was attacked by a dog and who reacted quickly, before the dog could injure him. Whatever you have a problem with, it should not be this cop's clearly justifiable reaction to protect himself. What you should have a problem with is a dog owner who lets an aggressive dog go after anyone who knocks on her door.


What I have a problem with is that if I did the same thing to protect myself from possible injury by a dog, I would be charged with discharging my firearm in public, endangering the public and any other B.S. charge that might apply, then I would be subject to the civil suit brought by the dogs owner for destruction of his property and emotional distress. Why should there be a double standard?

You are responsible for your dog

No stranger knows your dog like you do. No one knows what your dog is capable of

My guess is if we had sound you would hear the dog barking and trying to get out. You can see the cop put his hand on the gun before she opens the door. We also can't hear if he commands her to control the dog.

Then she opens the door and the dog runs out. The cop has no idea if the dog is attacking him or not. He overreacts by using his weapon but she is responsible for her dog running at him

This is exactly the kind of thing my wife would do with our mutt but I would never do. I would never open the door if my dog was trying to get out with someone at our door. But my wife would inadvertently let the dog out. She has done it before

IMO the cop was not doing his job. I really think he was trying to do a good deed.. but he had no reason to be on her property whatsoever.

If a random passerby had seen the same thing and walked up to the front door and shot her dog -- what happens?

He overreacts to a dog.

Should this guy be issued a firearm?

Would we voluntarily issue a firearm to anyone with this mindset?

Nobody is saying the cop has to get bit, but he clearly saw the owner there, the dog wasn't that ferocious, and there had to be a number of other ways to defuse this.

I doubt 10 people out of a 100 would've shot that dog as a first response.

All this over a car door being partially open, not a tense life-threatening situation.

Weak sauce.

Easy for someone to analyze a video and make declarations

I think he over reacted and should be reprimanded severely but I can't say what I would have done if I was in that exact situation. Shame on him if he assumes the dog is not dangerous and it turns out he was wrong and the dog tears him up.

He put himself in a tough situation and she didn't control her dog. Plenty of blame to go around

I honestly feel like I could just kick that dog if he attacked me and I'd be fine, but I also don't think the dog was attacking. Dogs tend to want to run and jump on people, that's just how they are.

I agree she should not of let it out, but Cops are pansies when it comes to dogs. Mailmen don't carry guns, meter readers don't carry guns.

This is ridiculous. The cop has no obligation to let a dog attack him.
And what do you mean, "not that ferocious"? The put bull either attacked him or it didn't. It appears to in that video.

He reacted in an instant, he was quick draw McGraw. Which is why I say with sound I bet the dog was barking and scratching to get out and protect its owner

Even worse is he is firing toward the door as the woman comes out.

Then lets arm mailmen, instead of arming them, we give them mace.. Who else carries mace? The police, yet they would rather shoot a dog in front of it's family.
