Police shoot family dog during traffic stop

[Nose Nuggets]

keep attacking me personally and calling me a pos, im getting a kick out of it.


i said your laughs, not the cop, not the situation, not the dead dog. you, YOU are cracking me up with the tone of your responses. i would like to have a civil discussion about it, but perhaps thats not posible.

"Right. Try to keep things in context with what we are discussing. It'll help. "
im just responding to your responses.

"What is an assault weapon? Take the parameters they use to classify "assault weapons" and apply it to a shotgun. Its not difficult. Ever heard of Google?"
LAWL! first off, did you even go to the links from your google search? or am i just blind, and saw that officer holding an AA12? the cop was holding a pump action shotgun, extremely common in home defense. although ill give you credit for dropping assault in their, everyone else thinks the word assault makes the firearm even more deadly. idiot.

"Research the case regarding the POS you are defending. "
i cant be bothered. i don't really care, either. im more concerned about the discussion at hand.

"Yes. "
um, no.

"Once again, try researching the case you are discussing. There was no robbery so there car DID NOT match the description of a vehicles used in said nonexistent robbery."
im going off what i saw in the OP. can you provide a link to a respectable source that states otherwise? ill review it. doesn't really make a difference but ill review it.

"Ha...your reading comprehension skills are atrocious. I never said cops didn't need to carry guns. I was talking about the dog's head."
sooo.... what the hell does this mean?
"No, it was I that had to school you. Mailmen don't need shotguns for the same reason this POS didn't need to blow the head off the family pet."
mailmen dont need shotguns because... well... they deliver mail. they need mace for protection against violent animals. this cop was defending himself against what he determined to be a posible violent animal. i know you dont see it that way, but from the video its somewhat obvious that the dog was running at the officer. what that animal was capable or intent on doing only the dog and possibly the family know.

"No it hasn't. Your pandering and giving LE the benefit of the doubt when there is no question they are in the wrong is simply sad."
i think i have said multiple times that i think the officers are at fault. not because he shot the dog but because there where too F'n stupid to keep it locked in the car.

"Are you capable of saying anything that isn't pulled from deep inside your @ss?"
i said im willing to bet. i think thats a clear indication that a hypothesis will follow.

WTF? The facts make all the difference in the world. I know ALL ABOUT THIS CASE. I live here. My response is apt and based soley on the SPECIFICS, not the vague, limp-wristed conjecture that you employ. You make excuses and give the benefit of the doubt to jackbooted thugs before you even educate yourself on the facts of the matter. Dogs get shot somewhat frequently by cops. This is the only case regarding the shooting of one that I have ever posted or commented on. Your response and continued drivel are baseless and uninformed. Say what you want about me...you are pathetic. 

And yes, the term "assault" is a largely meaningless establishment buzzword. They use it against the people, it seems appropriate to use it against them. But "pump action shotguns" are perfectly capable of falling under the catagory of and "assault weapon".



Try doing some basic homework.

what makes that an assault shotgun? the flashlight? no no... its the sling, right?

Lol....No. According to the Brady Brainwashed liberals that sponsored the weapons ban, an "Assault" weapon is basically anything that holds more than 5 rounds of ammunition and has a shortened barrel.

The police should be able to protect themselves, within reason, but when their own incompetence leads them to destroy a family pet, while that same family is being unlawfully detained just a few feet away, I think someone either needs to be reassigned permanently to desk duty or fired altogether. 

By the time the officer decided it was more appropriate to discharge his weapon and jeopardize everyone at that scene, including his fellow officers, than to simply wait and see what the dog was going to do, I'm sure they all knew that these poor people were not the robbery suspects they were allegedly seeking.  What kind of public servant murders your pet while detaining you for crimes you had no part in, and then laughs about it? 

Such callousness and brutality has its place on the battlefield, not on our streets.  Common sense should've told these officers that the dog wouldn't remain in the vehicle, and I suspect that it did.  I personally think they enjoy murdering animals and abusing their power, it gives them that "rush" they're constantly seeking (I've heard this described in hundreds of episodes of Cops).  Doing the right thing, treating people with respect, serving the public - these things do not get the blood flowing.  Executing pets with point blank shotgun blasts, electrocuting people who are non-compliant, chasing fleeing vehicles through densely populated urban areas - that's where the real adrenaline gets going.

We can only expect more of this as the military and law enforcement blend together.  They already share recruits, tactics, and equipment.  Eventually we will have a new generation of "soldiers" waging war on the people they allegedly protect and serve.  We can rest assured that Joe Law and his cadre of body-armored, heavily-armed buddies will destroy the canine menace that plagues our country, but if it's a rampaging gunman they're after, we can only expect them to take cover behind trees and allow the rampage to continue unabated. 

Thank God for the few who are still willing to put their lives on the line and act like professionals.  The rest will not live up to their duty or their oaths, but you can bet your bottom dollar that your life, the lives of your loved ones and the lives of your animal companions will be put on the line, no matter the extent or nature of your "crimes".

Yup, those idiots that drafted the assault weapons ban are pretty silly...

A voice of reason....
