I think everyone needs to see this.

This has nothing to do with ****** or loving cops, or whether this is worse that another act that a cop performed. It has to do with one fucking dumbass shooting a dog for no reason. I would feel the exact same way if it was just some bystander that killed the dog. I'm getting tired of reading about people trying to show their power by mistreating animals. No animal deserves to be treated this way. Pit bulls only have a bad reputation because of retarded people who raise and train them to fight. I've owned pits my entire life and in my opinion they are the best dogs in the world. People need to take a step back and take a look at the human race for once instead of blaming everything on animals when something goes wrong.

while I agree, i'll throw this out there. you opened up dialogue about cops behavior in general by stating "If this is where our country is headed, I don't want to live here anymore."

personally, it doesn't take an animal killing for me to realize "where this country is heading." thats a pretty general statement which includes all the wrongs of this country as a whole. its going to include the obvious police brutality of this story, whether its an animal or a human being....and that incites the cop ****** discussions.

[Dibaltic]

That is fucking bullshit. No animal deserves to be treated like that. Fuck that guy. He deserves the same treatment, lets see how he likes it when hes tossed down twelve stairs after being horribly assaulted. People, fuck them.

this.. couldn't have said it better myself

You know what, I retract my previous statement. I withhold my opinion until there is solid video evidence, because animal rights activists will make up crazy shit and band-wagon while on the other spectrum, anti-law enforcement will make crazy shit up and band-wagon. video or bust; it's sad, but most people's word can't be trusted anymore because people fabricate stories for their own support now a days.

This. Obviously the cop did something very wrong here and there is some truth to the story. He def should be punished, but I just cannot believe that someone would take this dramatic of actions on a dog that was barking.

[iwannabeam3]

dude fuck that cop. he deserves to be mauled by dogs. fuck let my two at him. no way in hell hed get them.

So I had the same thoughts as you guys till I read a Police Witness report

looks like the dog attacked another and then the officer.

Look at the date stamp on that report.

And I found 3 easy typo's reading the description. There could be even more, I was never good at spelling.

I don't **** all cops, there are actually a few cops in my town who always complement what I am driving...which is pretty cool of them, but I do dislike this cop greatly. I would understand if the dog kept attacking the little dog without stop in sight but when the owner gets the dog under control before the cop gets there and then does what he did, well that's outrages. This cop should be tried for murder IMO.

[firelizard3]

Obviously everybody's going to side against the cops- people are already biased. Then, everytime something like this happens, everyone decides the cops are terrible, corrupt people, and mistrust all cops even more.

I mean, I'm biased because I dislike cops already. But I don't think this is as bad as those cops beating that homeless guy to death. They have that shit on video. Look that shit up if you want to be fucking pissed at cops. Also, I find it tragically funny that if any harm were to come to their dogs, you get trialed as if it were a human, yet when they do the same thing to our dogs (or whatever pet) then it's a petty crime, or however you want to call it.

[Ollie]

Fuck that dude. Nothing pisses me off more then people fucking with animals. I hope he gets prosecuted and can never be a cop anymore.

[NikoR.]

what the officer did to the dog they should do the fucking same for him, throw him over a banister and shoot him
