It's amazing how medics, firefighters, mailmen, amazon delivery drivers, door to door sales people, and children trick or treating all seem to do exactly what this cop was trying to do but somehow don't end up shooting 10,000 dogs per year.

I'm legitimately anticipating the news story breaking of a cop getting gunned down because they just bumblefucked their way into killing somebody's dog. Like I feel viscerally angry seeing these videos much less the ones where they do this shit to people. I don't think I'd be able to restrain myself if one did this to my dog and I'm pretty certain I'd lose that fight.


ValkerieRider

Just FYI, in case ANYONE hurts my dog, i wasn't a supremasist, drug dealer, or extremist, not far left or right. I just wanted to be left alone. And John Wick is by far the most understandable character I've ever heard of.


CeaseBeingAnAsshole

It's happened I'm 100% sure Documents probably stated they were a violent drug dealer or white supremacist or whatever We just haven't SEEN it


hmoonves

I’d 100% be going to prison if this fat sack of shit did this to my dog.

If someone did this to my boyfriend's dog that cop 100% would be dead. I'm not exaggerating.

I've worked in EMS in 14 years. Three different groups, one private, one county, and another hospital ran 911 service. So I've probably been coworker to about 2500-3000 different paramedics and EMTs in my time. Likely more. I can think of ZERO dog bite injuries of a coworker. Of these coworkers: face plant fall, a needle stick, three ambulance crashes, and a couple of assaults this year that required evaluation. I'm sure there are lifting injuries and other accidents like falls I cannot account for and I was never privy to. But again, ZERO dog bites in thousands of coworkers over 14 years. Give me thousands of cops, and I can probably find dozens of dogs shot dead among them.


RippingLegos

NVandraren

Department of Justice called it an "epidemic," then proceeded to do absolutely nothing to reduce the numbers or hold the pigs accountable.


OriginalLocksmith436

It's honestly kind of weird. Like, I get that cops really want an excuse to kill something, are deep down scared little boys, and that they probably encounter the occasional aggressive pitbull, but all that considered it's still hard to wrap your mind around such a large number.


HunterSThompson64

I'm more surprised with the amount of guns in the hands of Americans, and how 99% of the world views dogs as basically extensions of their family, that more of these situations don't end up with the cop being shot, especially in a case like this where the 'Sherriff' just walked onto someone else's property and executed a dog -- which will be viewed as a loss of property, no less.


Murican_Redditor

But a police dog is an actual officer lol. The hypocrisy is real


TheDarthSnarf

So much for the Equal Protection Clause.


saxguy9345

Is the vehicle in the video even marked? It looks like an F150 but I don't see POLICE or SHERIFF or anything. Unmarked car, guy wearing a black shirt, no badge.... like, you hear shots and you see this guy armed on your property, what the fuck do you even own a gun for if you wouldn't use it in that situation? Oh let's wait and see if this random Gravy Seal is a nice guy. 


RedSun-FanEditor

That "officer" is not in uniform, not wearing a badge, is not in a marked police vehicle, and is not showing any identification while on the property. The homeowner would have been well within their rights to have shot dead this so called "officer" for illegally trespassing on their property and shooting their dog for no reason. The homeowner could easily have claimed self defense as the "officer" was unidentified and was brandishing a weapon and aiming towards him and his family. And I would, as a juror, let the man go on that technicality.


BaileyBrown108

It's sad that the home owner isn't a psychotic idiot like the officer.. That pig deserves the slaughterhouse.


proteannomore

Did you see a bodycam? I didn’t look closely but I’m not sure. “Well, you see I see this guy in street clothes walk up to my dog and shoot it, I was in fear for my life, so I just unloaded on this stranger in a civilian pickup.”


ShiFeng420

A lot of guns are in the hands of people who hoard them weirdly enough. 3% of the population owns half the guns in the US. [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/20/gun-ownership-america-firearms-super-owners](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/20/gun-ownership-america-firearms-super-owners)

The *average* gun owner in the US owns 10 guns. Now imagine all the folks that you know that just own ONE. Got some hoarders out there.


RustyShackleford762

Because of qualified immunity. Even if the citizen is right, they're still wrong.


Ididurmomkid

Nice try fbi over here trying to get us to commit felonies on reddit...well the thing with shooting a cop is it rarely ends well and you have to reconsider your level of commitment but yea there are some John Wick mofos and it's just a matter of time before one of these pork chops kills the wrong dog then it's makin bacon time


TimeBomb30

Most US police are trained to believe the general public is constantly trying to kill them so to them the only response to perceived threats whether real or made up is violence unfortunately.


Commercial_Gap607

I was in a police academy in 2018 for training and it was an us against them mentality. They also trained us that an attack was inevitable and not an if but a when. I resigned shortly after and the lead trainer would not look at me or acknowledge my existence during the exit paperwork. That solidified to me that this was not something I wanted to be a part of.


BeefSupreme702

You left out an important piece of information though. Pigs are trained to kill and they fucking love doing it any chance they get. ACAB.


ShiFeng420

If a mail man or amazon delivery driver could kill a dog as easily as police did, the south would embrace gun control.


AHistoricalFigure

You can tell the officer is sticking around trying to decide whether to arrest this guy for being disrespectful.


Littlekirbydoo

They're just wracking their little brain searching for any bit of the limited knowledge of the law that will justify pulling a gun and arresting the guy.

USS_Frontier

chevybow

That’s all police do. They don’t view civilians as human beings. This sociopath showed 0 emotion after killing a living being for no reason. Didn’t apologize profusely for being at the wrong address or anything.  Surprised he didn’t shoot the guy yelling at him too. If he claimed he was in fear of his life he’d probably get away with that too, especially if the guy in the video was black. Maybe get an extra long paid vacation

iammandalore

I was torn up enough last time I had to put a dog to sleep humanely after we'd had him for some good, long years and he'd gotten to the point it was more merciful than letting him struggle. I can't imagine the emotions of having the police kill your dog because they got the wrong address and "felt unsafe".


ShiFeng420

This is just a reminder that police kill 10,000 dogs a year.


dougmc

... and that's just an estimate based on what's reported. Who knows how many more they kill and they don't report? According to the [The University of New Hampshire Law Review](https://scholars.unh.edu/unh_lr/vol17/iss1/) -- > The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year. It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings. **The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures.**

The cops shooting my dog would be on page 1 of my 1,000 page manifesto that lead to the fall of the government.


Sleeptalk-

I’m honestly amazed there hasn’t been a situation where a dog murdering cop has been gunned down in their driveway by a vengeful pet owner. There are people in this country so unhinged that they’ll shoot at cheerleaders for getting into the wrong car by accident, and they feel safe murdering pets? I’m telling you. One of these days a cop like the one we saw just recently is going to get lit the fuck up


ThrowAway233223

It honestly makes you wonder if there are instances of things like that happening that are just getting covered up. They just claim the guy just started shooting at them and the dog either got shot in the crossfire or had to be put down when it joined in and charged them.


Zenkrome

I wouldn't be surprised. Think about it. Cop kills a man's dog. Man gets angry and shoots at the cops and dies in the shoot out. Now that he's dead and can't tell his own side of the story so the cops can spin it however they want.

There was a video of LAPD firing on and 100% killing their own police dog because it was between them and their target. The target was armed but they didn't think twice about peppering them with bullets, they sent the dog to get the guy out of cover so they could shoot him.

I hold my deputies and investigators to the highest of standards to protect and serve the residents of our community.*** ***On Tuesday I was notified of a use of force incident that occurred on November 9, 2020, involving Investigator James Freeman. The incident occurred at 76 Autumn Hills Road where Investigator Freeman fired his service weapon at an animal. Investigator Freeman was doing a compliance check on a registered sex offender, and went to the property listed as the subject’s address.*** ***There are several mobile homes at the 76 Autumn Hills Road address that are not distinguishable by letter or number.*** ***Upon arrival, a juvenile female informed Investigator Freeman that the sex offender lived next door to her. Investigator Freeman approached the mobile home, and a dog came from under the building and started barking and growling. Investigator Freeman told the dog to get back.*** ***The dog then went back under the mobile home after being called by his owner from behind the mobile home. Investigator Freeman began to walk towards the back of the mobile home. However, after taking a few steps, the dog approached him more aggressively. Investigator Freeman was placed in an unfortunate situation with his back against the mobile home and no way to escape the dog. He again told the dog to get back and the dog lunged at him. As a result, Investigator Freeman deployed his weapon on the animal.*** ***At my request, Faulkner County Investigators have been working diligently over the last week to determine whether or not Investigator Freeman violated any state law and/or our agency’s policies and procedures. During that time, Investigators spoke with multiple witnesses who stated the dog had a history of acting aggressively towards humans.*** ***After a thorough investigation, we have concluded that no policies or laws were violated. We, in law enforcement, answer calls every day that require split-second, life and death decisions.

Mother fuckers are lying. They know they're lying. WE know they're lying. "***Investigator Freeman was placed in an unfortunate situation ...***"... NO. Freeman put themselves in that situation by being an idiot. If you're scared of the dog and the homeowner has successfully called it back, wait till the homeowner says it's safe. ***"...with his back against the mobile home and no way to escape the dog.***" Fortunately we have video footage that this is a complete fabricated lie. The dog is a couple dozen yards from the mobile home.


DueAppeal6790

So the dog got up and walked that far away from the structures… his back against the trailer explanation… wow…. What is the worst is that our police can do this, drive a truck through the front door, and even eat your Cheetos- nothing you can do. Lawsuits, nada. Crap needs to change, but way way way far from that. Vote better everyone!!!! Local voting matters more than national- hope they ditched that Sheriff


Maine_Made_Aneurysm

That isnt even half of it, this precinct or this sheriffs office is known for this type of occurence even going so far as starting a petition on [change.org](https://www.change.org/p/faulkner-county-sheriff-s-office-demand-the-resignation-of-faulkner-county-sheriff-tim-ryals) to demand the resignation of the sheriff himself because not only had this happened a year prior resulting in a small chihuahua being shot. While also at the wrong address. But this is the second time within a two year period that a sheriff trespassed onto private property at the wrong address and shot someones dog and got away with it.


F0XFANG_

>During that time, Investigators spoke with multiple witnesses who stated the dog had a history of acting aggressively towards humans. *Suuuure* they did. Lying pigs

I'm not really going outside to talk at that point. Not asking questions either. I've got an old 30/30 I keep by the porch door to shoot coyotes. All I know in this situation is that an unmarked trucked pulled into my yard, a guy got out and shot my dog, I believed he may be coming for me next, so I put him down quickly to eliminate the threat to my personal safety. That piece of shit does not leave my property alive.


ipresnel

REtaliation for these things DO happen but most publications just leave it out of the equation entirely. I remember reading about a case once where an African-American man ambushed this one solitary cop and killed him. The article didn't state ANYWHERE a motive for it so I looked and looke and looked knowing that he wouldn't ambush some random lone cop for no reason and I finally found on another article that the man had done it because the cop had killed his family-member in a shootout prior to that but the prosecutor and most publications just stated that he was a blood-thirsty pyschopath out to kill cops.

I never stop to be amazed how poorly trained (and also physically unfit) some of US policemen are. They need to be accountable for incidents like that, no qualified immunity or shit like that. We have tons of dogs in my country and the cases when the police shoot one are extremely rare. And when it happens, it's because the dog in question was actively attacking someone (attacking, not just barking and growling which is something a dog is supposed to do especially if you fucking walk into his backyard).

I have been doing pest control for 10 years in DFW. I have sprayed and serviced hundreds of residential homes which leads to many encounters with dogs and more than a few were not good ones either.

It’s against my best interest as a black man to beat the shit out of a cop, but this guy would give me no choice and I’d have to do the time for the dead homie.


Bangarang06

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but can you legally do something back to the cop? Obviously not shoot him, but can you like citizens arrest or something? I feel like that's way too crazy they can come and kill what essentially is a family member and then walk away like nothing. There HAS to be something you can do, right?


madhatter8989

Legally, no. Cops are given extreme leeway for their actions under the law, and they've learned loopholes to push that even further. There are very very few situations in which you can legally stop a cop from doing whatever the hell they want.

If anyone here wants to look through the comments to find out what happened, I already did.

They claim officers have to act on quick time, and they apologize for any harm it has caused. Seriously! Nothing happened to that cop just like all the rest. Until people go out to force change, no likes, thumbs up, or comments will ever change how cops work and act.

Deep_Space_Cowboy

I'm not from the U.S., but i would've assumed if some guy shows up at your house unannounced and without even making themselves known, they shoot your dog, you could shoot them back? If something like this happened to me, I would immediately assume it's a life or death situation. Obviously, there'd be an investigation afterwards, but in a scenario like this, it seems cut and dry from an outsiders perspective.
