[Warning: Graphic] Officer casually 'dispatches' small, non threatening blind poodle
https://x.com/Breaking911/status/179381964748302756
The little 13 pound dog is just casually meandering around, the officer tried repeatedly to hook him with a catch pole, but is unsuccessful, so he shoots the dog. |

Some just itch for a reason to fire their weapon. They are bored with range shooting.

From the conversation with the distraught owner,after the fact, it sounds like there was a whole search effort using the Facebook to locate the dog. I'm guessing the woman whose driveway the officer parked in saw the dog and called the police, thinking they'd catch the dog and return it. 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. |

From the KOMU website: Students have always been a part of the KOMU 8 experience. The station went on the air as an experiment of sorts, the brainchild of journalism professor Edward C. Lambert. Students served as interns in the early years, but in 1970, that all changed. Students began to fill the roles of reporters, writers, producers, and photographers for all the station's newscasts. Those students have gone on to work at the network level, in every state, and around the world. |

Good marksmanship is all about being casual. Unless you're lucky...

That f'ing idiot has no business being around animals period. Probably not the gen public as well.
The tiny dog was ZERO threat to anyone. If it was attacking or acting aggressive towards someone's livestock ie foul or children perhaps. But that was f'ing ridiculous. What a pos! |

Well when some panicky, unprofessional LEO with prior weapons issues can gun down a diminutive, unarmed woman climbing through a window in our nation's capitol - I guess, anything goes.

That ****ing asshole needs to go to prison...for a very long time. That poor dog posed absolutely NO threat to him or anyone else. That copmisca piece of shit and he has no business in law enforcement. He was also an asshole to the dog's owner.
Absolutely true! |

Another scumbag cop. Big surprise. How do assholes like that get hired into taxpayer-funded positions authorized to use a gun?

Did the officer have ANY training with that lasso? It looked to me like he had the loop around the dog's neck AT LEAST three times, and failed to tighten the loop to catch the dog. Looked like the loop was WAY too big the entire time as well. So after a couple of minutes, he gets frustrated with his own ability to catch the dog, and elects to shoot it instead. WTF? |
