[Warning: Graphic] Officer casually 'dispatches' small, non threatening blind poodle

[DDSLT5]

That dog was vicious - the FANGS!!!!! Was it foaming at the mouth????? I'm glad that officer was available to protect and serve!

I'm not sure I agree with this. Yeah, any moron could have caught the blind poodle who was clearly running away. But if I was expected to use that to catch a dog that is actually dangerous, I would want to have used the tool at least once before.

He looks black. If this was a white cop national news. Otherwise bury it. Sad sad...

Don't know about that but judging by the hairless arms I'm thinking maybe a female pretending to be a man... Seriously, how many of you guys shave your arms?

that dipshit should not be doing anything related to critical thinking, what a scumbag
Is this the kind of decision making you want when you or your family safety, freedom, life is at stake?
I wouldn't say I'd shoot that pile of shit if it were my dog, but a few extra ventilation holes in the skull might let some oxygen in
I'm sure there are people who might
in real life who would

I don't know why she didn't simply contact the owner and get the owner out there. Blame goes to the woman who called the police vs. calling the owner.

Blame also goes to the dog's owner. No collar and tag? Of course, the dog could have had a collar and gotten it off, catching it on a branch or something. I always had an embroidered collar with the dog's name and my phone number on it, so anyone who encountered my dog if he got out, would be able to easily see a number to call. The tag had more info, my address and 2nd number.

That statement does not align with libertarian values, maybe you should re asses your thought process

All I can say, is I've never seen a bigger dumbass with a lasso..............geesh that guy needed some training on that thing...........you gotta pull the noose tight.......idiot...........the dog died because he got out, yeah on the owner, but secondly because the cop is an idiot........he just dang lucky it wasn't a pit........he'd have been torn up before he got the gun out......

Sure it does. Libertarians believe in self reliance, and are for small, limited government. So we can assess blame on the owner for the dog getting out, although anyone who has ever owned a dog knows that can just happen. I was taking care of a friend's young puppy and he had just about gnawed a hole in my fence big enough for him to get out.....in about 5-10 minutes. I had let him out to potty, looked a few times, didn't see him and sure enough.....he had eaten a couple of fence pickets down pretty good.

I fault the owner for not having a collar and tags, although, it's possible the dog did have a collar and it came off.

Both of those things are in the column of personal responsibility, but again, I can understand how that might happen.

And I fault the woman that called, the woman that admittedly had the dog by her feet, gave him water, and obviously detected no threat, for not being a human being and taking in the dog until it could be returned to his owner, instead of calling the police (involving the government). It would have been better had she just done nothing, in retrospect.

Piece of sh!t. No excuse for that at all.

1. Get a series of expensive, painful shots that will have you out laid up for a few days, or
2. Take your chances, keeping in mind that if you begin to show symptoms, the prognosis is always death.

What a little **** you are. Siding with an armed idiot that had no business being a cop. And shot a little blind dog because it was more of a man than both of you.

inviting the police into a non violent situation is a bad idea, I thought you would be interested in not having police involved in your life
but, you go right ahead and call the cops for a stray dog...
the police are hammers who only see nails...I don't want to be anywhere near them
their problem solving skills are very limited

Uh, I thought that's exactly what I said. The woman should have handled things without calling the police. We agree here.

+ if you fear a 12 lb , blind and deaf dog, maybe get mommy to hold your hand when you are outdoors
