FWPD Shoots and kills family dog while at wrong address

[kingjason]

I haven't read every bit of rambling in this thread but how do you know the front yard was/wasn't fenced?

I was just ASS uming. You know damn good and well if it was fenced it would have been in bold and highlighted in the story.

Not trying to stir shit up..ok maybe, but where is matt?

Keep in mind I'm not an officer so I'm not up on all the laws concerning this but off the top of my head:

1. Trespassing
must be fenced, or posted, or purple paint
2. Reckless discharge of a weapon
not a charge, however in fear of bodily injury makes it justified
3. Harm to an animal
not a charge, however in fear of bodily injury makes it justified
4. Animal cruelty
fear of bodily injury makes it justified
5. Destruction of private property
nice try


I am pretty sure I can keep going. Would you like me to? That's just criminal things I can be hit with. Not to mention civil. And if there are kids anywhere NEAR? Child endangerment grasping at straws and I'll never be able to carry a weapon again. Is the cop going to lose his gun for life?


And I'll put up that officers injure or kill more people than dogs do. You don't see dogs breaking down doors and killing a family or getting liquored up and assaulting someone then throwing the other person in jail for assault of an officer.
I bet a pit bull would kick in your door and chew on you if it could

Again, since you were kind enough to answer me, and I do appreciate it so don't take this as me aiming at you, tell me that me shooting a K9 is the same as them shooting my dogs. Or me hitting a cop is the same as them hitting me.

Look I am not defending the cop. I am defending anyone walking down the street to not have to run from a dog or be bitten. I do not take these as personal attacks I am just sharing my point of view. My dogs are better then most people I meet but if they are not restrained or behind a fence they are a deadly weapon. Hell I was riding my bike down a bike trail and dog ran up behind, no bark, no growl, no nothing and bit me on my side. I was riding my recumbent and never had a clue. The dog that bit me was smaller then the dog you guys keep posting a picture of.

I believe it's a legal term meaning a place that is readily accessible by the public

No, but the front yard that was not fenced is still a public place. Your statement made it sound like the dog was just standing on the front porch and the cop walked up and shot it.

So your front yard is a public place? When would be a good time to bring my RV and park it there?

So that's how your kind feels about personal property? Good to know...

[slow99]

I can't believe people are in here even attempting to partially justify this - holy shit.

OK i am not going to answer your complete rant but will answer the question that is on topic. I am sure the other topics have been beat to death.

So answer this for me Frost. Let say you are in a strange neighbor hood one day and you have no GPS signal and have no clue how to get out. Now lets say you walk up to someones house to simply ask for directions and out of no where a dog comes flying up on you snarling, barking, and ready to bite. In this situation we will say you have a CHL and are packing a little heat. So you unload on the dog and kill it. Tell me frost what crime do you believe has been committed?

There are many laws against people just letting their animals run loose and there is good reason for it. To many people get seriously injured or killed by dogs every year.

First off, any property I own is not a public place, whether the public can acess it or not. Secondly, the entire scenario you invented doesn't remotely reflect the story that was reported. The officers big defense wasn't "He was snapping at me, or even barking, or even licking the back of his kneecap like a tbone," it was "I thought it was a pitbull." That was it. The exact opposite of your statment is what actually happened. The COP was standing there, the dog walked up, so he shot it. Because it "might" have been a pitbull.

We just going to play the answer a question with a question game all night? Did the dog ever leave ITS yard?

Did it run to the front porch or was it standing on it?

Was the dog on the porch when it got shot or not?
