Grieving dog owner fined $700 after Inkster police shoot, kill beloved dog: He was my best friend

Through my long life I have probably seen hundreds of loose dogs. It just happens sometimes. Maybe it broke free from its leash, maybe it dug a hole under its fence, maybe it bolted out the door - it happens. I know this guy may have chosen to keep his dog off the leash, so that does not exactly apply to him, but the point is I have been approached by numerous loose dogs, and none have attacked me.

The overwhelming majority of dogs are not hostile. When they approach a person, it's almost always not to attack them.

Being able to read the difference between an aggressive hostile dog and a dog that just wants to sniff you and be pet by you should be mandatory training for police.

In this case, while the cop may have been technically within their rights to shoot the dog, it doesn't mean that they should have shot the dog.

I am sick of police mindlessly following protocol, using the very limit of violence that is allowed to them in every situation. In the past, police used to try to read things and respond with minimal force. Their "protocol" has taken the human element out of policing.

I guess they need a puppy taser?

Will that still allow the psychopaths to get their rocks off and spare the dogs life?

Maybe cops could volunteer at the local animal shelter and euthanize the dogs for therapy?

Cop panicked and shot the Cujo.

Idiot owner had him unleashed while walking on public street.

RIP dog..your owner was a dumb ass.

Stupid ass owners with unsocialized dogs. It's why I no longer go to dog parks.

boot licker
you deepthroat the whole department

At the end of the day weather the dog was a threat to the officer or not he shot and killed the dog without being harmed himself. Do you really need to fine the man I think he was fined enough loosing his bestfriend. Also to the cop your a coward.

You sound like an inbred homo-adopted orphan whose daddies died of mutally-assured butt AIDS.

:homo:

Hope you get a pox on your glans penis.

That dog would have been completely safe from cops if it was inside Uvalde Elementary.

Sorry for the dog but these careless owners need to be more responsible.

So many people have been killed or injured for life by aggressive dogs.

If these dog owners don't care about other people's lives, then they should definitely be fined.

Unfortunate, but true. Put the dog on a leash and under your immediate control and you greatly reduce the chances of a misunderstanding like this.

I would even argue that a leash is still not enough.

Those pit bulls or other big dogs can power themselves with enough strength that most dog owners would be caught by surprise and not able to stop them.

A dog should be considered a dangerous weapon. And dog owners that take their big dangerous dogs to parks should have mandatory insurance on their dogs should anyone be harmed by them.

PUSSY COP.

If it was a pitbull or a black man all of these responses would be different

Is being a pussy a prerequisite to becoming a cop?

devil's advocate here,

if the dog was a pitbull and mauled some kid on the block,

would people still say the same thing?

laws are there to protect both humans and dogs from unnecessary confrontation with firearms,

:vivarium1:

Hope you get a blood clot in your lungs. Family will have to pull the plug on ya.

Apparently, many of you have never been approached by a large dog you know nothing about. If the dog had been on a leash... no problem.

I remember one time my next-door neighbor's daughter was visiting with her two pit bulls, male and female. They escaped from the fenced back yard and were roaming the neighborhood. I was attempting to go to their front door to tell them when I was confronted by the male dog who appeared ready to attack. I managed not to panic but remained calm while slowly backing away. Anyone not very concerned in such a situation is not a wise person.

Now the $700 dollars may seem like a lot, but how else are you going to discourage people from dangerous behavior.

Now go ahead and call someone you know nothing about a PUSSY.

You need to have your nuts cut off and shoved drown your throat.

My guess is he was supposed to be doing security type stuff for his job but was flying his drone watching this dog shooting instead...

Too bad. That was a good-looking dog. You could see in his eyes he was a good boy. Sad.

You shot my bred to be violent, unpredictable, remorseless killer dog, you bad bad man

Cops shoot dogs for no reason all the time. You shoot my dog you will die.
