Acording to the news last night the department said the officer did nothing wrong [Confused]

...That is TOTALLY messed up!!!!!
and if they are saying the officer did nothing wrong????????????
I'm sorry, ...even as I realize cops these days are faced with some very difficult situations, ...this situation was not handled properly at all...

Trigger happy cop! The dogs owner stated that the cop should not even be able to carry a gun. Very sad when a cop gets a badge and a gun and he is the judge and jury. The video did not make the dog appear to be attacking the cop. I could see if it jumped in his face and bit him,but it did not. [Frown]

i know a lot of officers that have had to deal with dogs. only one pulled his gun because the dog was charging at him. and even then he did not shoot, all the others used pepper spray, or nothing at all. the officer definitey should not have shot the dog. don't know what was going throught the officer's mind. [Frown]

That is so wrong.

Just goes to show, a moron with a badge and gun is more dangerous than any dog on this earth. How did he get past the police academy shrink to graduate?

I just hope they are able to sue the cops for their wrongdoing. That dog didn't have to be killed and the trooper should pay somehow.

I sent the article to Bill O'Reilly at FOX hoping that he'll do a story about it on his show, The Factor, to expose this kind of abuse of power. It's just wrong.

I am still amazed at the stupidity of the cop. There were numerous alternatives in that situation, and he chose teh wrong one for sure. At least they have the video to help out the victims. My brother lives in eastern TN and I know they've heard a lot about it and caused quite a stir. There better be no way in he!! the police will get away with it. [Mad]
