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.


Was the cop doing his job by knocking on that front door? What crime was committed? Who called him?

It's entirely the cops fault. He walked onto someones property uninvited with a weapon and shot their dog in their front yard.

dogs get excited, he was scared. I would have just kicked the shite out of it. It's a freaking dog. I have had plenty of people's dogs run up to me. I usually just pet it.

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?


Just because you can make up a fictional scenario in which you are treated differently doesn't mean that there is a double standard. The analysis is the same. If, under the same circumstances, you claimed self-defense and the video existed showing the dog attacking you in the same way, you would also not be guilty of a crime.

I can't you people are still running with this. The guy had his gun pulled as soon as the dog started to come out of the house. He never had the time to conclude if the dog was attacking him or just running out of the house because it was excited. You never see the dogs mouth in the until the dog was on the ground dead. He was shooting the dog as soon as it exited the house. He shot the dog because it was barking.

Y'all really should stop trying to defend this guy's actions.

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.



See, this is what you are left with: a declaration of lameness, a weak attempt at irony and a revelation of your disdain for authority figures.

When and if you finally make it to high school, you will probably be taught about how to form a logical argument. You should probably take that as a cue to also try to figure out how to think logically. When you are being attacked by a dog, the last thing that should be on your mind is mortality statistics related to dog attacks. What you should be worried about is how to get out of the attack without getting hurt.

I didn't see anyone attacked by a dog, I saw a cop draw his weapon before the dog was even out of the house.

In the ultimate twist, if a police dog IS attacking you and you hit it or hurt it in any way you are charged with assaulting an officer.
Honestly I wouldn't bat an eye if people started getting vengeance for their pets. Especially the ones much worse than this. (Like the cop that shot the 80 year old lady's lap dog last month, or the cops that shoot a dog in a house)

It's ridiculous to believe this brilliant gumshoe was being viciously attacked

shite, Sherlock could have put together a clue or two and used his best weapon at hand to prevent this... The tip of his shoe against the opening door. Literally just stick a toe against the fricking door

You need to stop defending this attacking pit bull. You really are coming off as being ignorant as shite.

I can't see that it was attacking. It was a dog getting out the house, this happens ALL the time. I go to maybe 5-7 people's houses a day. I would say on average at least two times a week a dog comes out the door to greet me. I have never even considered raising a foot. I have never gotten bit, and the day I do then I will act.

These cops are PUSSIES if they fear dogs this much. fricking mailman will walk the same route with the same dogs and never once in the history of the post office has a mailman killed a dog.
I cannot wait until a cop pulls this and someone fires back. This killing dogs shite is an epidemic.
It's literally multiple dogs a day killed by police.

So? It clearly shows that he was horrified of a barking dog and had made up his mind that he was shooting that dog as soon as it came out of the house, no matter what.

It's really difficult to wade through all the bullshite to try and find an intelligent argument.

For example, is this tongue and cheek or do you genuinely believe in your statement?

The OT is this weird place where everyone is a fricking baller with a smoking hot wife and afraid of both pitbulls and god equally.

I'll ignore the personal attacks on my intelligence and attempt to explain to you that 99% of the population's first response to an attacking dog is not to shoot it, but to use less lethal methods to fend off an attack. Indeed, most people don't even have a gun immediately at their disposal.
In his case, he had many other means available; mace, block the door, kick the dog, etc.

I have no problem with authority figures, but I do have a problem with a panicky numbnuts.

Exactly this.

My two will bark at you (initially) and then settle down, especially if I am nearby.

It's almost as if people in this thread are totally unfamiliar with dogs and their natural, territorial habits.

I mean, you don't have to be Jane Goodall, just use common sense.

Go back and look at this quote and you will see why I question your ability to simply think.

First, you have to make up a statistic to support your argument. See where you did that? Why is it that have to make up things to support your argument?

Worse, you can't seem to make the connection between the two sentences that undermines your argument. Yes, you have contrived multiple, nonsensical, self-canceling arguments and you actually believe the conclusion that no one with a fully functional brain could reach using the same contrivances.

Let me explain. First you stupidly claim that "99% of the population's first response to an attacking dog is not to shoot it" then you emphasize that false point by pointing out that "most people don't even have a gun immediately at their disposal." Do you see the connection now? Even if you accept the statistic you made up, maybe, just maybe, if people did have a gun at their immediate disposal, their "first response" might be different, don't you think? Just like the police office, maybe?

Then you state, without any factual basis, that the police officer had "other means available" and listed "mace" as one example.

Incidentally, while "ignoring" the "attack" on your intelligence, you call the officer a "panicky numbnut."

I stand by my assessment of your limited intelligence based on the evidence you have exhibited in this thread.

my 2 dogs will SPRINT out the door (they are wiener dogs) to anyone. They will jump as high as they can on you and try to lick you to death.


One of them regularly jumps in the mailman's truck. Dogs are friendly. Only a few dogs are assholes and that's because their owners are assholes.

Shoot assholes, not dogs.
