One more dog killed behind a fence .. A GSD .. the sorry bastards killed the dog in his own yard on video .. the police were not in danger behind a fence and had been told to call ahead so that the dogs could be penned  ...  and there was no emergency to justify killing the dog

That incident followed by just a few days another one, also caught on video, in which two El Monte, Calif., officers entered – without notice – the fenced yard of Chi Nguyen and shot one of the family dogs when it approached. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports “there were four children present at the home when the shooting occurred, and a children’s pool party was taking place in a front yard across the street, according to the family and the video.” El Monte Police Department spokesman Dan Buehler said the officer “followed policy.”  If you watch the video both the cops involved lied and their supervisor lied. They had been warned before coming that the dogs would need be secured.  They entered through a signed gate and left the gate open.  If they were following policy then that’s precisely the problem.

Across the country, both state laws and departmental policies seem to let police officers use deadly force as a first resort against family pets that often present little or no threat. In one infamous 2010 case from Missouri, an officer shot and killed a dog that had been subdued and held on a catch-pole. In another, an officer shot D.C. resident Marietta Robinson’s 13-year-old dog, Wrinkles, after Robinson had confined the dog to her bathroom.

Last year police officers chasing two suspects in Lake Charles,Louisiana, shot a dog named Monkey that barked at them. In Henrico,Va., last July, police officers went to the home of a homicide victim to notify the family of the slaying. When the family dog ran toward them, the officers shot and killed it. In Danville four years ago, a police officer shot and killed a 12-pound miniature dachshund. For growling at him.

Hexe, I did all I could to prevent those dogs from attacking Bev other than never taking her off my own property. She was always on  a leash. Even when I play ball with her she's on a 30 foot lead.  She been jumped when we are tracking. I changed the time I walked with her. It didn't matter, they were loose all the time. I avoided the area near their house, they still saw her and came after her. Then I took her out of the complex across the street to the golf course after it was closed. They saw her and ran acrossed the street after her.

Their owner was always apologetic saying it would never happen again. It did, so I went to the complex manager who spoke directly to the owners, they said it wouldn't happen again but it did. Then I reported the situation to the local dog law office and they sent them letters with the boiler plate message - in this county all dogs must be kept on leads. Your dogs have been reported as running at large and you will be subject to a fine if you are reported again. If this is not correct, please  contact us. I reported them again, nothing happened. These dogs don't wear licenses or rabies tags either.

I feel as if I've already done more than I should have to try keep my dog safe and that's why I would not hesititate for one second to put a bullet in all of them when they jump on my dog. I have no intention of getting a carry permit, so it's not going to happen, but I will never critisize anyone for using deadly force to stop a dog attack. I had to put a notice on the complex bulletin board warning dog owners that I am now carrying bear spray and a ball bat and I will not hesitate to use it on the next dog that attacks me or my German Shepherd. Now they all think I'm a nutcase and have offered to help me train my BH, CD, rally titled dog to socialize with their obnoxious dogs that can't even walk next to them on a leash.

Shooting a dog that is not a threat or that is contained on one's own property is a far different thing that shooting one to keep it from hurting a person or another dog.

Like I have said before .. cows are much more dangerous than dog!!  About 120 police officers are killed each year and half are killed in driving or car incidents.  Only about 40 die per year after being shot by criminals or friendly fire incidents.  Roughly 108 people die each year in "cow homicide" incidents and cows don't have guns and can't drive (at least not well).  Your chances of being killed are much better if you are a farmer or rancher than if you are a LEO ( Law Enforcement Officer ).

Blitzen, it sounds like the repeat offender needs to get hauled into civil court by you and sued for damages...perhaps if they have to pay the vet bills and the doctor bills, plus punitive damages because of the continued issues, they might finally get the message. Is there a HOA or complex manager where you're living? If so, those need to be notified as well, because they'll bear some culpability, too, if you've reported it to them and they don't take whatever steps are necessary to rectify the situation....
