officer shoots dog a different prospective - Page 15

Look at the New Thread    NEW LINK TO HELP MAX  Please  everyone go there and post your thoughts and encourage them to investigate this issue along with other family pets that have been executed by LEO

Whoever posted the link about "precious" the Pit Bull Terrier needs to provide them with that link as well,  and write your thoughts on the phenomenon now known as  "Family pets are executed if they get in the way of Law Enforcement"   as the question... How are we to keep our pets "Safe" if they are not even Safe in our own home, backyard, garage,....

Maybe that's what should go on the poster ??

Just how is a family pet more important than the life and safety of a LEO?  I'm sorry for their loss.  I truly am.  But I think if my son is running through people's yards in pursuit of a felon and he happens upon a dog attacking him that he would shoot the dog rather than be attacked, maimed and possibly killed by said dog.  My son's life is more important than a dogs, especially when he is doing his job.  I pray to God that he never encounters this situation, but if he does I want him coming home in one piece. 

So, just for clarification, if a police officer is chasing a man who allegedly just raped and killed a 7 year old child and gets to a fence, when the felon jumps the fence, the cop should stop chasing just in case there is a dog who might bite the officer in the yard and get shot???

A child is in a back yard and getting ripped apart by the family pet 'gone bad'. The cops need to stay out of that yard too, right?

I think most Americans would disagree with you on either one.  Where exactly do you draw the line? This country doesn't need a bunch of legislation which make the laws so long and drawn out, that there are rules for rules and more rules for those.

What you have to remember here is that cop jump fences not for FUN, but to apprehend someone who is RUNNING from them (typically for a reason, right???) Typically, the cop then jumps the next fence, and the dogs are usually so stunned by someone running through their yard when they don't expect it, they just sit there and don't get to the wall until the felon and cop are both gone.

Lastly, if some alleged felon jumps MY wall, I don't want drugs that the guy may be carrying dropped in my yard for my dogs or kids to get ahold of and catch God only knows what, or die of an OD on.

Again, just my thoughts....
