Cop kills pet dog in parked car

[Rreemo]

To be fair, this was in Idaho, where it is currently 70something degrees.

That's what I was going to comment. I was up in Wisconsin a couple weeks ago and took notice of how often you see it up that way...lots of cars at stores and such with the windows cracked and a dog inside. Not really an issue and a lot more common up north, since it's much cooler out.

I think a good deterrent would be to charge the officer who shot your dog with the same offense that you incur when you shoot a police K9

I was just about to post the same thing. If they hold their animals as officers, then citizens animals should have the same basic rights as humans who get shot by LEO's.

Looks like the windows were down, which would be the only way the dog could lunge out the window.

The high yesterday was upper 80's in Coeur d Alene, Idaho. [source]www.intellicast.com[/source] Story said Wednesday morning, low temp Wednesday morning was in the upper 50's. So maybe in the 70's when the dog was shot.

True, but still... I think it's bullshit.

And why is that? If it isn't hot, it isn't hot. My dog rides in the car with me, when temps allow it. Of course in TX, that only means a couple months a year. But this wasn't in TX. Things are done a lot differently up North, and in small towns in general. It makes me nervous as shit to see a dog in the back of the truck in DFW. But in rural areas, it doesn't make me nervous at all. That's just what they do.

I'm a derp.

how did the dog lunge at him and take a bullet through the window into his chest?

Exactly, I don't know how many times I've walked past a car and a dog has acted aggressive inside of it. Not once did I fear for my life or feel the need to pull out my concealed and shoot it, because all they can do is stick their head out with the window like that. Don't stick your hands in and you don't have anything to worry about.

Ummm no. Punish the officer, not another animal.

Are you fucking with us, or can you not read? Nobody said anything about shooting another dog.

Well apparently I can't multitask very well. LMFAO!!! Derp moment of the day.

I hate when this shit happens.You have to understand that some officer's will never use there weapon while on duty, this is a perfect situation to do just that. It "lunged" at me or "I was in fear for my life" is a easy way to get out of trouble while using there weapon on a animal that can't take his ass to court. Most of them are trigger happy, did he really think this dog was going to jump through the glass and bite him in the dick?? Lol The pet owner should have shoot the officer just for the hell of it. He was armed and looking for a suspect and all that was there was a dog, he didn't want to leave without something accomplished for the day.

Of course. It's called "Target Practice."

It makes me glad that you do not post very often. That was ridiculously difficult to make sense of.

[svauto-erotic855]

I'm all for animal rights and all that(please don't come shoot my nice little pug), but that's a stupid ass statement.

I was not saying that someone should do it. I am simply telling you that it will take something that extreme before law enforcement changes their behavior; and in all likelihood it will take more then 1 time.

True, but still... I think it's bullshit.

My dog goes with me to work everyday. She will also jump through the trucks window into the cab to take a nap if she gets bored even when it is 100+ outside. I leave both windows down for her and she can get out and jump into a pool if she gets hot.

This. I have never understood how they can put a higher value on the life of a service dog just because of its training... Yet have no value for the life of other peoples animals. They have no idea what purpose the dog they just killed served for that owner, yet they can take its life consequence free. Fucking ridiculous.

I disagree. Fuck trigger happy cops. Let them be on the receiving end of the shooting.
