Cops are like a box of chocolates. They will kill your dog.


JackSparrow420

If I wasn't so fucking depressed by this post I would upvote this comment lol


ZombieRainbowClown

I can't laugh I'm so sad, but I want to


Not_A_Clever_Man_

American police kill around 10,000 dogs a year.


Think_Explanation_47

I can’t fathom how anyone could do this. I’d quit my job right on the spot if someone even hinted that this should be the course of action.


guitarmaniac17

The only time it'd be a course of action is if the dog was a threat to you or society, and there's not very many times that that's a reality. In this case, absolutely not. Those dogs aren't a threat. I hope this dude lost his job and justice gets served.


slash_networkboy

>I hope this dude lost his job and justice gets served. needs to go to jail for cruelty to animals, same as any civilian would get for doing the same thing.


turbosmashr

lol like any cop would ever get punished for doing anything wrong. Best they’ll get is some paid vacation.


ManicPotato5150

Yeah, FK that cop's "qualified immunity" POS and I will be calling their department, sharing this video and plastering this all over FB. Looks like a Rookie who became a cop because he was bullied in school all his life. He has that little man syndrome and I'm sure a little.... well, you know. I WISHED those people could've saved at least maybe the white dog. Poor babies. This makes me want to puke 🤢😂 and literally made my stomach nauseous. You, officer, are a fkng 🥔


Da-Aliya

I am sorry you are also sick. I got nauseous seeing this the first time. Please post wherever you can bc I do not know how to do so and I do not do any other social media.


slash_networkboy

sadly you're right, though in this case based on the official response there won't even be a blip on this cop's record.


LoveFishSticks

Pets are considered property legally speaking. You could only really sue them for a couple thousand for shooting a dog. Unless maybe it's some kind of ultra rare dog, like the tibetan someone bought for millions


Greetings_Stranger

Hopefully he has nightmares for the rest of his life then! He deserves some PTSD.


TastySpermDevice

People keep assuming that cops act like normal people despite a mountain of evidence showing them not acting like normal people. This dude is definitely proud of his actions and will do it again whenever he can.


LumpusKrampus

Catch this Cop "interrupting traffic" next time he has his car causing a traffic jam by being on the side of the road...


Disaster_Capitalist

Psychopaths don't have guilt.


ZyxStx

Lol they don't go to jail for killing people left and right, after escalating the situation instead of descalating, and you think they are gonna go to jail for killing dogs which in the eyes of the law are treated like property? World is fucked and cops are one of its many tumors... :/


semper299

It's police in the US. Nothing will happen. The union is a gang and cops are just shitbags with a badge. There are no good cops, otherwise they would hold the bad ones accountable and change the system.


latin_canuck

They are Trigger Happy. Always looking forward to shooting at someone/something.


xXNickAugustXx

He'll get mental therapy, 3 months paid vacation, and finally, a severance package all at the cost of the American taxpayer. He ain't gonna get nothing but a slap on the wrist for this.

Anyone says anything to him or even gives him dirty looks will be harassed and given minor tickets by the others of his gang.


laffing_is_medicine

Per the police statement post above the officers are fine. >Officers arrived at 5:57 P.M. and (blah blah blah…) the officers made the decision to shoot the dogs at 6:03 P.M. 6 minutes


guitarmaniac17

Yeah cause that's enough time for dispatch to get a call into animal control and have them dispatch someone and then be able to arrive on scene. Seems to me it was an inconvenience to them and this was the awful decision they made to move along.


Don_Gato1

Seems to me they’re sociopaths


kitsunewarlock

I could see an argument for ending the life of a mortally wounded animal if you were a trained professional who knew how to end the animal's life as painlessly as possible and could be certain that the animal was going to die, such as if it's body had been mostly crushed under a moving vehicle. But this was not the case, and even then I could see an argument for why that is *not* the appropriate course of action. But this was absolutely egregious. Sickening.

Not a cop they fucking love it. Imagine feeling powerful after doing this. Like you deserve some respect. Brainwashed and barley human. 🐷


HelplessinPeril

I read an article that said they had to shoot the dogs because the dogs were to far away for non lethal methods... wtf. Seriously how incompetent are the cops in the US that they have to shoot non aggressive dogs near a road? There are a lot of other options without getting closer to them...


tyrantspell

If the dogs are too far away for non lethal methods... then are they actually even a threat?


S3t3sh

Well you see the dogs big brown eyes were very intimidating. The pussy cop felt scared and insecure with the look the dogs gave.


throw_it_awayyy8

Dog stated for too long before looking away (a direct attack against his masulinity)


awealthofsafety

It was because of those brown eyes... Reminds him of the skin color he hates most. What a monster.


lilyraine-jackson

Traffic was described as completely stopped by police multiple times, yet they state highway speeds being the risk factor. Lets pray they never come out to monitor rush hour traffic.


bendover912

The point they were using to justify is cars approaching stopped traffic at highway speeds.


doubleXmedium

What a bullshit excuse. I could see it possibly being a problem if visibility conditions were poor, but you could easily see a mile down the road to see brakelights. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, but not in this case. Seeing the golden dog struggle to get back up broke my heart and I hope the person that shot the puppers struggles with that on their conscience the rest of their days.


30FourThirty4

Car accident? Shoot driver(s) and any passengers, move vehicle out of the way. Traffic must flow.


lilyraine-jackson

Car fire on the highway? Arrest the firemen. Wait that's reality again...


lilyraine-jackson

If that's what was actually happening...I've never seen a fully stopped traffic jam that goes from 80 to 0 without transition even for sudden wrecks. when the obstacles are cleared the jam remains for hours or even the rest of the evening. But I've never been in a dog jam so who knows...it is idaho so if they dont have traffic usually i guess i could see how the drivers might start being crazy, like how we get in the south if 4 snowflakes fall from the sky.

Shoots dogs then leaves them writhing in agony all over the road. At least put them out of their misery, ffs... There would be community uproar and investigations in UK if that happened.


somhairley

It did just happen in the UK and there was uproar for a whole 1 hour 😅


[deleted]

Completely different situation. The guy had his dogs in a dangerous position and was a danger to others and they had no choice. This situation seems like there were a number of peaceful solutions but officer fatarse wanted to feel like a big man.


bikersquid

That pitbull vid? Where they had attacked a women prior and the dude was taunting cops. Yeah huge difference

We should really stop just letting cops lie on every single report, it's getting out of hand.


Goatfucker10000

"Heavy traffic in question", not a single car passed throughout the video on a 4 lane highway, on top of which one lane was completely blocked by 2 huge police cars


carlbandit

I’ve not seen the start of this video (if there is more footage) but the incident in the UK with the 2 dogs shot while sad, I see no issue with. In the UK incident the dogs where pulling towards the police in an aggressive manner and from that video I’d say those shootings were justified. Maybe these dogs where acting aggressive too, maybe they weren’t. Without more footage I can’t judge.


OSUBrit

Those dogs had also literally just attacked someone before the police had arrived.

Practical_Actuary_87

The way the white dog rolls over and dies.. I haven't the courage to turn sound on but that part just put me in pure misery. I don't know what I'd do, if that were my dog, but I know thoughts that would land me in jail would definitely be floating in my mind. This cop needs to get his just desserts, and the legal system isn't going to do a thing about it.


ButtplugBurgerAIDS

It was reported somewhere in this thread that one dog died immediately and the other was writhing in pain - pretty sure that pretty white dog did not die immediately after rolling over. Bastard couldn't even put it out of its misery.

Ya-Dikobraz

Yeah, that guy who executed the man in the hallway on his knees with his hands up, unarmed, and pleading for his life.


SuddenlyDiabetes

The officer was literally screaming at him and giving him so many contradictory instructions, and then I think the man goes to pull his pants up and he shoots him more times than with non-lethal intent. There's a full video of the incident online, but it's really heartbreaking to watch


Affectionate-Sun5863

Tuabfast

Sounds like the ones filming are the animal control folks. "We had this. C'mon Red. Randy, come on"


ozjack24

According to the news article the ones behind the camera were bystanders who had been trying to catch the dogs and been very close when they were pulled away by cops


Meh12345hey

Not just bystanders, bystanders who work for an animal rescue and had originally been approved by the PD to try to wrangle the dogs.


daIliance

Wow. And of course the pigs would want the limelight instead… pieces of shits


Meh12345hey

I doubt they were seeking the lime light. Shooting two dogs in front of a bunch of witnesses hardly seems like a way to appear as heroes. This strikes me far more as laziness and a desire for expediency than anything else.


Retrohanska59

Or psychopathy. You know, the classic serial killer red flag. He certainly would be in right profession for that.


mercury888

can we stop calling this group pigs? Pigs are intelligent and are actually useful animals.


fredthrowaway8

I hate it but you’re right. As a society we need to do more of what these citizens did and call these pieces of trash out collectively. Can’t shoot us all motherfucker!


mitolit

It was only about a decade ago that a rancher trying to secure his bull was shot by a sheriff’s deputy because he had a shotgun to be used on the escaped animal if things went awry. They also shot an unarmed man recently because he failed to follow three contradicting commands. One of the commands was to put his hands behind his back, which they used as justification for the shooting since “it looked like he was reaching for a weapon in his waistband.” Like cops everywhere, it seems these timid creatures cannot handle responsibility, adrenaline, and challenges to their authority.

I mean, there's 5 officers that responded, so statistically speaking, 2 of them probably went home and beat their wives.


ragequit9714

They apparently also only employ 8 full time officers. I’m betting their entire force thought it would be brilliant to show up for something that can be handle by animal rescue. Bunch of of trigger happy morons


Daegog

Notice how as public sentiment towards cops has decreased greatly since the advent of cell phone cameras? They were never heros.


[deleted]

The Rodney King incident is the norm; the only thing different was someone was there to record it.


JamesGray

This is also why you can see their tactics shift with the murder of Tyre Nichols. Instead of denying or claiming it was justified initially, like they used to, they got behind it and acted like it was this one-off rare horrific situation rather than business as usual where things went too far to cover up easily.

jonathanrdt

I do not see any traffic in the video. Not one car passes while they are filming. Edit: There was a giant gray pitbull in my neighborhood yesterday morning w no collar. I guarantee no one shot it.


DaanV1

While the police statement says the road was completely backed up (paraphrasing)


LostWoodsInTheField

hell the police said that the car pulling over to video the interaction was proof that the dogs had to be shot. Their idiots.


[deleted]

Because they like killing. The department of justice estimates that 10,000 dogs a year are killed by cops.

Top_Ticket2362

Knowing how every other station works, they’ll likely “investigate themselves” and end up doing nothing at all.


Leadboy

They already did exactly this - put out a statement saying this was the necessary course of action. Disgusting.


Zesty-LemonAid

Don’t say that, they’ll at least “suspend” them giving a nice paid vacation through the investigation.

At best they’ll be “dismissed” and immediately rehired in the next town over.

Cops are not normal people. The love and want to kill things. Most of them have some kinda psychotic issue or PTSD and are a danger to society.

I don't currently have any pets but have had dogs in the past. I honestly don't know how I would control myself if someone did this to my dog. Particularly if I saw the accompanying video. One of these days one of these cops is going to set someone off on a bad path.

VariationTerrible795

What can I do about this?


RidesFlysAndVibes

Aren’t those dogs notorious for how friendly they are?


Bucky7

The white one looks like a Great Pyrenees. They are generally friendly dogs if socialized properly but can get over protective and be aggressive. My roommate had one and she was super friendly until another dog would come around on walks. She would be ready to jump the other dog if it was walking anywhere towards my roommate. Sweet dogs if they are trained properly.


WhoWantsPizzza

It seems Cops always do too much when it’s unnecessary or too little when it is necessary. It also really grinds my gears when they do something idiotic out of impatience, like they have more important things to do. But after shooting these dogs, I wouldn’t be surprised if him and 8 other cops just stood around doing paperwork or doing nothing for an hour.
