“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”

Cop Shoots Dog at Wrong Address



A Denver business owner said Adams County sheriff's deputies forced their way into his business and shot his 35-pound dog to death, an incident that occurred because the deputies went to the wrong address investigating an alarm. Jeff Fisher said his eight-year-old dog, a blue heeler/border collie mix, was not aggressive. "He turned to come back to me. And the police officer opened fire. He ran past the police officer at the door. He just wanted to see who it was. And the police officer shot him 3 times," Fisher said. "I'm yelling 'You shot my dog. You shot my dog.' And the police officer says 'You need to calm down. You can get a new dog." The alarm that deputies were investigating was next door, Fisher said.

You shot my dog.' And the police officer says 'You need to calm down. You can get a new dog," Fisher said.

Good thing the cop didn't shoot his wife.

"you can get a new dog".

"Why, yes I can, and more, with the money I plan to extract from the taxing body you work for".

Auto,
The fact that cops make mistakes does not make an argument for failing to well regulate arms and ammunition.

The cop talks about it as if he were following standard operating procedure. Are they trained to shoot dogs on sight?

If a 35lb dog running past you makes you panic and start firing a gun in public, you shouldn't be a cop. People who panic in everyday situations have no business going into law enforcement. This guy should be fired.

One thing that cops are good at is coming up with creative ways to say GFY.

I've heard a few cops talk about tasering as many dogs as they can find.

They provoke fights early on the last day of their week in order make an assaulting an officer arrest so they can head back to the precinct early and thereby go home early too.

These guys were SWAT. The guys who tattoo themselves. It's a gang mentality. People on the outside are meaningless.

It just points out the hypocrisy of the gun debate by the anti gunners.

Idiots we pay with firearms to defend and protect us but instead kill innocent pets and citizens. We need to see major prison sentences for those involved instead of the typical "no action warranted"

Sounds like a cop that needs a different job.

I'd have punched the cop out, and he'd have deserved it.

If he threatened me with assault charges, I'd remind him his dumb f butt was at the wrong house and he was guilty of home invasion and animal cruelty.

Every time a cop does this thing, they should get shot themselves. In the head. With a bazooka.

The dog had some human DNA! It was his son! Quick! Throw it at a Hell's Angel!

If these are the psychologically tested and well-trained gun holders, can you imagine the level of the average NRA member?

That guy is in world of hurt. Blue Heelers and Border Collies are considered the smartest dogs in the world, not mention their loyalty and devotion to their owners. I've had a Heeler/Chow mix and she was priceless. I feel for the owner.

Yes.

And orange rhymes with porridge.

Jeff needs also to sue the cop personally because he did not act accordantly to the law. And took maters into his own hands which is not within the guidelines of the law!

Then sue the piss out of the city!!!

I wonder what would have happened if the guy had an AR-15 and shot the cops defending himself and his dog from the 'armed invaders forcing their way into his business'....
I can hear it now, "Hey you shot a cop!" followed by "It's ok the county can hire a new one."

A dead dog is a good dog. Especially with shallots and a wine reduction sauce.

Thanks Goat,

Interesting parallels as I am a retired ET and my oldest son is a PhD Engineer who designs those sub-sea oil trees. We have had many similar discussions. Matt Damon may be an idiot propagandist but I have enjoyed many of his movies.

So if He returned fire and shot a police dog would it be ok because we can get a new cop dog? No he would be arrested for killing a cop.

The cop should be arrested.

Quick! Call PETA! Oh and the men in White coats! I have been attacked by several dogs! I've figured out that they have more rights than we do, even though they areall wolves in people's DNA manipulation! Still wolves!

An ordiinary citizen would go to jail for doing the same thing (unless they're very rich) and can be jailed just for hurting an animal. That's what happens when everything becomes a business.
