... he claimed the dog was about to bite him and shot the dog to defend himself ... the necropsy report by a veterinarian proves that Candy was shot in the back of the head. [More]No wonder they had to get rid of him for HIS safety...

Wow, as the owner of a blue heeler mix I recognize that bark. That dog is a total "lover." Tail wagging, ears up, "woof woof woof." That's the typical blue heeler "Hey I want to play, maybe give you a kiss or two" behavior. For a cop to be afraid of a 30-40 lb blue heeler, while in farm country, is asinine. I bet the mail man has given Candy plenty of scratches behind the ears over the years. My UPS guy always gives my heeler mix "Buster" a quick pat and hand/paw shake when he's out. Such a shame.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately he'll probably quietly hired by another department in the next few months.
I guess meter readers and mail carriers who never shot a dog are all heroes.
ReplyDeleteEffing coward. Looks like the guy shot the dog because he wanted to - not to keep from being bit.
Why do so many armed and dangerous JBT's find it necessary to murder dogs and even kittens? Isn't there a warning about sociopaths starting their careers by hurting pets?
This comment was posted by "HiCarry" on my JPFO alert announcement--I believe it belongs here:
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that if you shoot, or in any manner try to injure a "police dog" you are tried as if you attempted to shoot or injure a "human" officer. But, the police shoot your dog and it's "oh, so sorry, but you can get another dog...."
I was just thinking: this *is* news,
ReplyDeletein that the canicide [fancy term
for "puppycide"] was terminated.
But then I saw John's comment.

ReplyDeletesecret signalling going on.
