Shooting of dog by police – TAKE ACTION!!! more addresses

Question:

Before any of you start voicing opinions that make the world wonder if you are truly in control of your faculties, please consider this situation from the officers’ perspective. [...]

I enjoyed your thought provoking post; its perhaps the most sensible post in this thread, or on this topic. I’m beginning to see your point of view. I appreciate the mission of law enforcement officers and the things they endure, but I believe there is a problem in Cookville. With so little data, I’m not about to debate this event. I do wonder if the dog would have survived, if he had been secured by a harness. Perhaps the police would have chosen to kill it, in order to remove it from the car. I can see that happening. In Chicago today, Anna Cieslewicz saw two aggressive pit bulls, as they were killing her. I can’t help wondering if that is what the officer saw in Cookville that night–or thought he saw. Aside from the misfortune of this incident, I’m sure of only one thing: when I exit my vehicle, I will shut the door behind me. Yes, I might be shot, even killed, but there is no doubt of what would happen to my two friendly, black Chow Chows. Michael — Percussion: a masterful mix of speed, force and finess. ||

Bravo!!! The voice of reason speaks. I wonder if there would be this much outcry if the officer had been bitten or if there is so much anger voiced when an officer is shot. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Before any of you start voicing opinions that make the world wonder if you are truly in control of your faculties, please consider this situation from the officers’ perspective. What if this really WAS a felony? What if the dog really WAS vicious and attempted to attack? What if that attack resulted in the officers being distracted to the point where the alleged felons were able to pose serious bodily harm or death to the officers? Now, what if one of those officers who was injured/killed was one of your family? You have to understand that they were responding to a potential felony stop. How would you suggest they handle the situation based on the information they were presented? The death of this dog, horrible as it is, could have been prevented had the owners confined them some way inside the car (seatbelt harnesses, crates) or if the officer(s) or family had closed the door as supposedly requested by the family. I believe that the family is entitled to some form of reimbursement, but PLEASE realize that we don’t know all the details. If I was unable to understand all of the verbal content of the video, it is reasonable to believe that others had difficulty as well. And if I felt that the video quality was sufficiently poor as to make breed identification impossible, as well as the posture of this dog after exiting the car, then others probably would have to admit that they really couldn’t tell either. While it is extremely unfortunate that this has happened, please don’t join the list of people whose perceptions have been formed merely by their love of animals and not by the facts. jav For those of use that love animals that watched in horror as a beloved family dog of a family on vacation was gunned down by police in Tennessee – we want to take action!!!
