Hawthorne Police Officer shooting dog. (NSFW)

Yea, because that is so very similar to the topic at hand.

The guy laying in bed deserves every penny he gets. The police injected themselves into his life, and shot him without a warrant. He didn't go looking to start a scene now did he?

Completely, agreed.

Now it would be nice to not have other incidents brought into this to try and justify the mans behavior and acts.

Thoughts on the Washington man shot 16 times while lying bed, ruled justified?

He was probably snoring too loud and the officers rightly shot him for being a distraction.

I guess its the cops fault for trying to keep their perimeter clear while engaging with two armed robbers holed up in a house. I just dont understand agitators. Yes exercise your rights but that was not the time or place. In one of the videos you can clearly hear officers talking to the robbers with their public address system. They have rifles out TRYING to deal with a potentially deadly situation and this idiot decides to walk within their perimeter with a dog? But its the cops fault.

Not the guy who purposefully parks his car feet behind a tense scene, blasts his music at a level which probably distracts the officers then wants to engage them and take their attention away from a serious situation?

If the officer was so hell bent on shooting the dog he would of not tried 3 times to grab the leash. we would of smoked the dog on its initial approach.

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Poor dog obviously had zero training.

These new video's just cement my original opinion, 100% owners fault.

[AF_Adam]

So I just read an article that stated the police were attempting to talk 2 arm robbery suspects out of a home when all this occurred.

Also here is a better view of what happened. The officer looks like he tried 3 times to grab the leash before the dog jumped at him. The second video looks like the dog wanted to bite...maybe its just me.

In this first video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfmg6...e_gdata_player you can clearly see how he is trying to cause a scene. His music is a definite distraction for the officers and then his comments don't help his situation either.

A leash is a tool, and only needed in some circumstances. There aren't leash laws everywhere, believe it or not. I live in a town of about 1000 people surrounded on most sides by national forest & wilderness, nobody leashes their dog here and there is no leash law. My dog responds to voice command reliably from 1/4 mile or more. I've had a tourist at a local park I frequent call the cops because my dog was of leash and minding his own business, my dog sat at my heel unleashed while the officer explained to the tourist that there is no leash law, and only voice contraol is required. Police are trained to use non-lethal force with aggressive people, why should the same rule not apply across the board? Should this guy have had his dog leashed on his own property?

How about this one? Over an expired vehicle registration for someone else? In an encosed, fenced back yard?

The burdern of responsibility for controling the animal falls on the owner, yes. The burden of responsibility for handling a tense situation with a level head & the appropriate amount of force rests on the officer, regardless of if the threat is human or otherwise.

Are there idiot cops. Yup. Just like idiots in every line if work. Im just saying the officer in the Hawthorn shooting was judtified. IMO

Or just enforce leash laws. Im looking for the video of an officer shooting a leashed controlled dog.

You guys didn't wait long did you?

I told my Wife I did not support chopping our lab, yet somehow I ended up being the one who took him to have it done.

A week shy of 6 months old. I didn't really have a say for or against it. I am fine with them keeping their goods because we keep them on our property and I don't anticipate them running around impregnating other dogs. The other side of it is I feel they are calmer without them. I let my wife make the call. Just like you, I was the one to take the little fella (wife out of town).

Personally it would suck a big one to go through that, but its so common practice I didn't really think about it much.
