Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals: all it takes for dogs to pose a sufficient threat to police to justify them opening fire is for a dog to move/bark

Atf should be happy.

As a cop with almost 25 years on the street I've never understood the overwhelming need to shoot a dog.

I've been attacked, quasi-attacked, nipped, and bit, and have yet to kill a dog... thank God because I am a true dog lover.

I even had to beat a dog off me one time with a PVS-14 that I had in my hand... it will take a lot for me to shoot a dog. I would like to think that if/when that time ever comes I will know it HAS to be done to protect myself or another person.

Don't get me wrong... I have seen first hand where a dog darn near killed a person, and I know it does happen. But I think A LOT of dogs are shot when it isn't really necessary.

WOW, so sad

WOW, so sad

Words cannot express how mad I am

I worked EMS in Texas for about ten years. Had an uncountable number of dogs “act aggressive” toward me. Only got bit a couple times. Usually those darn chihuahuas.

I have had a couple Chihuahuas get me too. Never once did I think about shooting one. Not once

My morbidly obese elderly chihuahua was bad news. She would prank call 911 and lure cops in for the kill. Very deadly.

That’s because you are a good man . If all cops were of your caliber, then most of these problems would resolve themselves.

 

[DAS HUGH!]

We should subsidize them to shoot cats instead. Maybe thier owners also. Leave the dogs alone!

Real quick like, yessir, and that's exactly what happened at Ruby Ridge and Waco. I read that numerous Waco survivors who were at the very first front door confrontation testified that it was the alphabet boys shooting the dogs that were the first shots fired

Put it on wheels hooked to the front door with pulleys... a motion activated barking speaker... a stuffed 200lb grey wolf... yeah could be a bad day for everybody involved

losing a nearly billion dollar lawsuit isn't enough for you to stop reading infowars lies?

there really is no hope for this country...

 

[PINELOG]

Have no problem shooting a dog or any other animal that poses a threat

 

[Raven]

Have no problem shooting a dog or any other animal that poses a threat

IF it really poses a threat, granted... big IF

 

[Snake-Eyes]

Have no problem shooting a dog or any other animal that poses a threat

I feel the same way about two-legged animals who pose a threat. Especially lazy shit-sacks who don’t understand dog behavior and proceed to shoot one out of ignorance and self-imposed circumstances.

The hand of God Himself would be needed to stop me AND my wife from dealing Unholy Justice on anyone who hurt our dogs.

I’ll put my hand on a Bible in Court and repeat that.

Training is what the public wants to hear, but it doesn't always "take." If not conducted, repeated, and periodically validated until the training becomes culture, it is just another square-filler to placate the clueless public. Not defending anyone's actions....
