Dog was barely moving brah, not like it was sprinting around. Time to grab gun but not pepper spray? LOL wtf man

Also pepper spray not effective against dogs? I am beginning to think you are legit retarded.

Why can't they fukking taze or pepper spray the dog for fukks sake?

Not even 3 seconds pass and this idiot just blasts the thing with a pistol like nothing. His first instinct was to grab his gun and shoot without any hesitation. He should be gone.Lmao at pepper spray not being effective. The dog would be literally blind for the next few hours.

Prove it.

Wait I'll just prove you wrong.



Just another miscer spewing off random bull****.. fkin idiot.. negged

and LOL at no time to deploy WTF.. negged even harder you fkin idiot. It takes the same amount of time to grab a gun.

A lot of cops are just cowards with guns. the first cop didnt even take his gun out cause he knew there wasnt a threat. all he did was use the stick to keep the pup in the house. 2nd cop was a coward and sht himself at just the thought of a dog coming his way. fukin pathetic.

Another example of how apparently paper spray doesn't work against dogs charging you barking.

The dog paused in the doorway for a solid 2 seconds. He did not just run right by the first cop. Dogs, humans, cats, and a multitude of other things are capable of causing serious bodily injury, yes, but in the situation presented the dog was not creating a threat that would be considered life-threatening or one that would result in serious bodily injury. The language itself regarding the use of deadly force is loose as fuk and allows *******s like you to squirm around in semantics in order to justify your chitty, cowardly behavior.

Your entire perspective ITT has only been focused on one thing: the cop and what his job is. So far all of your statements are reflecting a sentiment that a cops job is only to look out for himself and his fellow officer. If that's what police work has devolved into, then you aren't protecting or serving anyone but yourself. You're labeling every citizen and every pet a suspect and a threat and instantly looking for threats and escalation, rather than treating people and animals like members of community whom you are sworn to protect.

"it's not the cops job to risk..." bullchit. It absolutely is. You know what you're signing up for as much as any other cop. Your entire job is to risk your life and injury in order to SERVE AND PROTECT CITIZENS.

And if cops are going to be given that much flexibility regarding the ability to use deadly force, there should be clear and explicit training on animal behavior, given that there are literally millions of homeowners with dogs in this country. The behavior of the animal in the video is not aggressive. That is not up for debate. That is a fact that can be proven by dog trainers and animal behavior specialists. Regardless of the homeowner's responsibility to secure the dog, the fact is that it wasn't being aggressive. If you're interpreting it that way then you have a gross misunderstanding of canine behavior.

You're arguing civilian dogs are worse? What? The vast majority of pet owners in America never encourage aggressive behavior from their dogs, instead they're encouraged to be loving and friendly and discouraged from things like biting/gnawing and even barking, since those can be misinterpreted as aggressive. Civilian dogs are literally trained to be non-aggressive, whereas police dogs are literally rewarded for engaging in aggressive behavior. The fact that you're conflating the two so closely really makes me uncomfortable regarding the reasoning abilities of LEOs.You've gotta be kidding me...cops have an entire arsenal of non-lethal options literally strapped to their waist...pepper spray, baton, taser, there's at least 3 different things he could have used to engage the dog IF he really felt engagement was necessary.

But that's the other component to this, their reaction to the appearance of the dog and their interpretation of its behavior was grossly egregious.

lol guy has been proven dumb as fuk now multiple times in this thread

by this logic, cops shouldn't even bother trying to handcuff unruly citizens, they should just shoot them dead and be done with it.

so either you agree with this, and are the embodiment of everything people hate about cops, or you're really just that stupid.

also doesn't matter how familiar he is. she's still holding him back while he's trying to go up to another dog, or meet some people. pulling is pulling.lol @ you outing yourself as a YUUUUUGEEE pussy lol

that dog was like 40-50lbs at most, hardly a "big ass aggressive looking dog"

and maybe it's safer for the owner to assume the dog is friendly because they spend all their time around the dog and see how it interacts? as opposed to some retard stranger (such as yourself) making assumptions about a dog they know nothing about.

logic not even once

yes, i have mad respect for a lot of cops but the ones like this are a disgrace

you get 1 shot with a taser and if you miss you are fuqed, ive sprayed several dogs on the job and it hasnt done chit especially when they are protecting a family member

so the provided literature does not define an attack as it pertains to a human, despite having explicitly defined criteria on what an attack is upon livestock, and it's also an article regarding civilian farmers killing other civilian's dogs, not LEO's cowardly shooting a dog for trying to say hi to someone who's invading his territory

Also pepper spray does work on dogs. You are a legitimate moron.

I'm starting to think you aren't even a cop, you sound more like a dude with Down Syndrome making up a fantasy world in his head. None of the chit u say makes any fukking sense.

Two cops, two tasers, two cans of pepper spray.

These lazy ****s could have easily fended off the dog and gotten somewhere where they couldn't be attacked. But nope. If you're any indication of the police force then I really hope they set a minimum IQ requirement that prevents idiots like you from having a gun.

So why bother tasing human then since you COULD miss? Could of easily unholstered weapon in two seconds or less and partner was right there with him. this is the mentality that gets cops in trouble. you take risk by being a police officer, just dont get the right to shoot everybody and everything if you feel uncomfortable

quoting for truth

in this one succinct paragraph, benihanas just **** on anyone defending this police officer for the shooting. namely that ******* dhawkeye

Er I am in the UK & am not a cop.

okie dokie lmfao

So someones front lawn is now considered a 'public' place. Youre exactly the type of POS on the police force that needs to be removed. And why I will never answer my door to any cop ever.

So you're not a cop but you are so fanatically supporting this behavior? Damn I'd rather hear that you WERE a cop, that way I wouldn't think you were just some absolute retard chained up in some basement somewhere.

you guys literally have no common sense, its just comical the crap you are coming up with, no logical just pure what ifs and daydreams. You have zero knowledge of what is legal or what is not for police to do so instead you makevup BS and try to pass it off as fact lmfao

Like you saying paper spray isn't effective against dogs? Then three different people posted examples proving you wrong, LOL

you dont know they had 2 tasers, a lot of depts have abandoned the taser because morons like you dont understand their uses and sue. You literally have no clue what police can and cant do

Whatever, I fuking hate dogs. My roommate got a german shepherd/chow mix and I lived with it since he was a puppy for 2+ years. He got a job and neglected him and he became mentally unstable and freaking attacked me twice for no reason... the second time I got like six stitches in my arm. I was like his uncle.

lol k?

the logic is just too strong guys

Cop should receive several years in prison, someone would get such a sentence here for animal abuse and this is clearly the most extreme possible form of animal abuse and damage to property.

I feel sorry for americans having such garbage police.

Here's dem facts boyos:

-cops were on private property without a warrant
-a 50lb dog was barking at them because they're strangers
-the cop grew a pussy and shot the dog

The cop was NEVER in any danger of deadly harm, nor grievous bodily injury. A list of things he could have done:
-pepper spray
-baton
-talk to the dog and let the dog smell him to calm down (like a normal person does, who isn't a scared little chit)
-Kicked the dog if it started snapping

That dog could NEVER have killed or hurt the cops. Ever. Not ever. I don't think ANYONE who knows dogs would really even be afraid of the dog at that point.

Point is, the cop was a scared little chit and should be sued.

Damn that's a massive dose of wrecked, dude should run away with his tail between his legs.

We coulda been together, think about it. He ruined it. Shut up bitch.

"I hate dogs because of ONE bad experience with ONE dog in which the dog was neglected and not taken care of properly for 2+ years and so naturally like any living creature was a bit unchecked. Fuk that thing. It was clearly predestined and programmed to be an angry aggressive dog and attack me, it had nothing to do with my roommate's/my lack of care or respect for the dog."

**** man
