Fuck those police officers. I know if a cop ever shot my dog they'd better be ready to shoot me. I would go fucking ballistic on them. Fuck them.
I feel so sorry for the owner. Nothing can replace a best friend.
FUCK THOSE COPS. I hope they all lose their job and their house.

first - i am AMAZED at how under control this guy is. incredible restraint "I know you guys didn't do it but..." amazing. I would be out. of. my. fucking. mind. I hope he has the money he needs for a fantastic lawyer and fuckin ruins the shooter and gets a ridiculous amount of money from the city because what in the fuck.
second - every time i hear a story about cops shooting dogs i am blown away at the fact that they jump straight to a gun. I've never met a standard sized dog that even when completely in protect/territorial mode i didn't think i could kick the shit out of and get away without having to MURDER the damned thing.
This is disguisting. And the cop leaves and lets these two officers face the homeowner? What a complete and utter pile of scared worthless shit.
The cop on the right that was talking to him the majority of the time seemed pretty upset about it as well. Never seen a cop full on stare at the ground in "sorry" mode before. I bet he has a fucking husky at home and knows that he would be exactly as or more pissed off as this guy is.
gtfo here with this shit man. wth.

The problem is that animals on private property seem to have become an alluring target for cops with mental problems. Say you're a sadistic bully who already believes you can do anything because of your power and position. An animal is the perfect excuse for you to enjoy yourself, as you can just say you were in danger.
Bad mix when the nature of your work naturally desensitizes you to the thought of violence. Shooting a person is already impersonal and "just part of the job". An animal is even easier to reduce to an object.

There is a commercial on the radio that plays frequently here about the two cops that were executed several weeks ago and it was asking for money for their families. My first thought was why isnt there a fund for the citizens family that died actually trying to stop the shooters and not just the police that died with a mouthful of pepperoni pizza. i say this as someone who for decades would to donate to fallen officer funds and help with other police charity functions. im certain that the damage the US police have done to themselves is irreparable now.

Do you have a source for anything you are talking about?
Those cops didn't do anything, the one who shot the dog left the scene.

If he is afraid of dogs, he really shouldn't have put himself in that position

Anyone have info on the cop that shot the dog? I'd love to have his address so I could send hate mail.

Salt Lake City Police Department's website. I am going to contact them asking their opinion on the best way to handle killing dogs. Maybe get some tips on trespassing, too.
its called the lucifer effect. Google stanford prisoner experiment.

Props to the guy for keeping relatively calm about the situation, if that was me and they had just shot my dog I would've probably had a breakdown on the spot and gone mental.

What a bullshit troll post.
It is Weimaraner. Named Geist.
My dog barks because it is a beagle. If a cop entered my property, would him barking be cause enough to shoot him? Train these cops to better read a dog or something.

Your post is so fucking ignorant. How many cops have you met? As long as you're not doing something blatantly illegal or hazardous to the public, the vast majority I've met are genuinely nice guys. I certainly haven't found one I thought to be "evil" as you put it. Yeah, the guy who shot the dog was a prick and he will get away with it. Yeah, that is shitty. Fuck though, are you suggesting we would be better off without law enforcement?
Sounds like this post has had plenty of quotes, but I'm still astounded by the stupidity of it.

What the hell is this?!
Guy gets his best friend killed and you call him a pedo and claim he is on drugs. What is wrong with you!?

Yes, a variation of "power corrupts". The more powerful someone becomes (in their ability to control or influence someones day-to-day life) the higher the chance they'll be corrupted by it and resort to anti-social, cruel or at times violent behavior. Essentially if they believe their abuses will go unpunished they might become complete bastards.
This regularly happens in the Police Force and is part and parcel of authoritarian culture to a lesser or greater degree.
He didn't say all. He didn't say the majority. "So many" is a perfectly fine way to say an inordinate amount of cops are evil. In my book, one is too many.

As wrong as these cops were to do this, the mother is NOT shitty because here child went missing for a bit. Children wonder off all the time. We all know that and we all did it ourselves. Come on.

You really will see anything on the Internet.
I think this is the first time I've felt compelled to block someone on this forum.
I truly hope I never encounter anyone like you in real life, but I know I probably won't be so fortunate.

Police shot my dad in the back twice and didn't get in trouble, why would they get in trouble for shooting a dog. They probably will see no punishment at all. It's disgusting.

While I think the officer carries total fault for this and should be punished for the fullest extent possible, I do feel like the dog owner owes the responsibility of putting up a "beware of dog" sign. Whether it was a cop, a thief, or a child that's looking for his ball that went over the fence, I feel like every dog owner needs to provide adequate awareness for their dogs presence. In this case it might have caused that officer to think twice before entering the yard and responding irresponsibly. You can't have faith in how others will react, so arming them with as much info as possible before they do could have prevented this.

X number of stories about cops shooting animals in every circumstance possible. Along with accounts that some of them seem unstable and just plain fucking weird disconnected people.

Fuck..sorry.
Sure, someone whose first instinct is to shoot something will be turned away from a sign.
If anything he'd dropped the dog faster since he probably would've drawn his gun already.

1. Do we know he didn't have a sign?
2. How do we know the officer would have acted any differently if he did?

The reason i think dogs are easy targets for police to go full Get Some is that dogs do not have the ability to recognize a uniform and then show defiance. A cop can easily force any dog into a reaction by just encroaching on its space thus giving the officer an ironclad excuse to fire.
There was a case in Seattle where a dog was in his own yard, cowering under a bush or something like that.
They have the cops on audio recording having a casual conversation about what they should do about the dog.. all kinds of disturbing crap.
http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2019777053_rosie28m.html
And
The dog was doing.. nothing.
It had gotten out of it's back yard and was just sitting in it's own front yard/driveway when the cops decided to taser the dog, taser it again, chase it down the street, and then shoot it in someone's back yard.
IIRC they also have a recording of the one cop saying he'd like to try out his new gun. Was part of their motivation for wanting to kill a harmless pet.

I feel bad for the guy, that sucks 
If that was in Brazil though the police would probably have also entered his house and taken something and pretended it was someone else. And no one would wait for him. Or would, and he would still be arrested if he complained much.
