Keeping Your Dog Safe from Law Enforcement - Page 17

sorry Alboe2009 you have a point, I can agree when absolutely nessary (lesson one don't read to many post's at once)disregard last post

All is good., 4mals2sheps.

We all know there are good cops, bad cops, not so good cops. That is the nature of the beast. As in any job, career or profession. That is life. Cops are at a more focal point due to many factors; society and technology being two of the top. For good and wrong reasons! That is the nature of the beast. Do I need to say POLITICIANS.......... What I don't like is not what some say but how some say it. And if it was constructive and non-biased then others might listen to what some have to say?

What some are not seeing, forgetting or just don't want to register the thought is that a problem, this problem when the information/facts warrant this to be a problem is that it didn't happen overnight. It sure in the hell won't and can't be fixed overnight or because someone thinks it is wrong! 

Can't remember if I first saw this on the PDB but funny how when we have this type of thread that most forget.......

YouTube: "Rottweiler attacks cop"   Sorry, don't remember how to embed.


 

Well I can see it both ways being a vet tech I have been bitten more than most,but anyone who... me, you, Ems,AC, that can come into contact with a animal should at least let a knowlegdeable person with experience or all should be trained ( my boss put us thru training not just handling dogs but the worst is a cat ) to handle the situation. We can all agree to disagree..

It would be really nice if some of the posters actually read the thread.  It helps to start at the beginning and really read the article the OP posted.  Then read the posts one by one and be objective enough to attempt to understand what people are talking about.  

I started this thread, remember?  You have side tracked it over and over again.  Why don't you start your own thread bashing LEOs?  That was not the intent of this thread.

Yes I remember.. If I wanted to bash LEO I would start that thread. So once again, is it your position that LEO that automatically go to weapons should not be disscussed and or scorned, because Im then bashing LEO in general? 

Dont just throw me some nonsense like this. Argue a point.. argue a statement. 

Monsieur Gigante, You got an agenda, it is clear. Trash all cops because they will all shoot your pets. I get it.

My agenda is clear as day. Did you care to back that statement up with any posts or are you skimming along not reading as well, like the others. 

Dont just throw me some nonsense like this. Argue a point.. argue a statement. 

Thread is now cleaned up. If I see anymore name calling, accusing members of being trolls/unsavory past members, personal attacks or off topic discussion the member doing it may be banned for an undetermined amount of time and this includes admins.

Anything deleted was moved into the mod forum for future reference. If I missed anything please report it as abuse and we will look at it.

One thing that is lame is nobody hit abuse so that says to me you guys were enjoying the roll in the mud.

Read and view what you will and decide for yourself if we as a society can do this better. If you view these stories as bashing all officers thats your personal slant, not mine.  


Pflugerville, Texas: Austin suburb town of Pflugerville was the site of yet another police shooting which claimed the life of a pet dog. Like the recent incident in which Cisco, the cattle dog was shot and killed by Austin police responding to the wrong address, Pflugerville police shot and killed family pet, Diamond after showing up at the incorrectly reported residence.

Diamond was the beloved pet of a disabled woman afflicted with chronic lung disease, COPD. Reportedly, the police had been called about a downed cow at a neighboring address. When they arrived at the wrong place, they shot and killed Diamond, a family pet.

Contrast that to the U.S. Postal Service, another government organization whose employees regularly come into contact with pets. A Postal Service spokesman said in a 2009 interview that serious dog attacks on mail carriers are extremely rare. That's likely because postal workers are annually shown a two-hour video and given further training on "how to distract dogs with toys, subdue them with voice commands, or, at worst, incapacitate them with Mace."

In drug raids, killing any dog in the house has become almost perfunctory. In this video of a 2008 drug raid in Columbia, Mo., you can see police kill two dogs, including one as it retreats. Despite police assurance that the dogs were menacing, the video depicts the officers discussing who will kill the dogs before they even arrive at the house. During a raid in Durham, N.C., last year, police shot and killed a black Lab they claimed "appeared to growl and make aggressive moves." But in video of the raid taken by a local news station, the dog appears to make no such gestures.

Many criminals -- particularly drug dealers -- protect themselves with aggressive dogs trained to attack intruders. But shooting the animals as a matter of procedure is also dangerous. During a 2008 raid in Lima, Ohio, one officer heard his fellow officer shooting dogs in the home and mistook the shots for hostile gunfire. Thinking he was under attack, he opened fire at shadows coming from an upstairs bedroom. In that room, 24-year-old Tarika Wilson was on her knees, as she had been instructed, with one hand in the air and her other arm holding her year-old son. Wilson was killed, and the boy lost a hand. During a 2007 raid in Stockton, Calif., a police officer inadvertently wounded Kari Bailey, 23, and her 5-year-old daughter Hailey while trying to kill the family dog. (The police had shown up at the wrong address.) Last month, one officer firing at pit bulls in Minneapolis accidentally shot a fellow cop.

Very well put together acticle ,there is a woman in Michigan who teaches postal service workers
UPS, and others about this type of handleing of dogs. none lethal

They talked about shooting the dogs on the way there and then claimed in reports retreating dogs were menacing. These 2 dogs did not attack but this is the state of our police state. Absolute power to kill innocent animals and then cover it up. These officers were hell bent on shooting these dogs. No matter what happened.
