Opinion then.

the Rottweiler, which is widely believed to be an aggressive dog, scored average to below average ratings for its hostility toward strangers.

Aside from the killing of the dog, who the hell wants someone firing a weapon in and around their property? Someone else could of been hurt or killed, and the sad thing is we would still have cop defense squad in full force.

The only just solution in this case is to shoot the cops pet.

Opinion then.

Read all of the article... Don't skim for the information that validates your point.

According to the Telegraph, the Rottweiler, which is widely believed to be an aggressive dog, scored average to below average ratings for its hostility toward strangers.

The newspaper reported that some of the lowest scoring breeds for aggression included the Basset hound, golden retriever, Labradors, Siberian huskies and greyhounds.

So what breeds score lower than most all breeds... Golden Retrievers and Labs.

While I may have been going on the general consensus, Rotties still rank above the likes of Goldens and Labs. Is it my opinion that Rotties are aggressive? No, but I had two sets of neighbors that had Rotties when I was young. One was completely docile, and friendly as could be. The other family had several, one of which was chained to a post with an industrial type of chain (not your typical dog chain). They would come barking anytime they heard someone walk by, and it wasn't in a "Hey how are you doing" kinda fashion. Just going on whats listed in the article there bub.

exactly. bullets could ricochet off the ground and hurt someone in the area. that cop who murdered the woodcarver in the other thread fired about 5 times on a busy street. he could have hit a car or a window and committed other murders as well

You are obviously not from earth.

Protect its property/territory is what the dog did by barking. It treated the cop as an intruder, and an intruder is exactly what the cop is. He/she could have called out and waited for someone that the dog is familiar to to introduce them.

the sidewalk is NOT your property. its the citys, it was the cops property as a city employee.

the owners sound like lazy dog owners, not that I feel that means they deserved this.

I wish dog owners would not think its OK for their dog to run up to people walking on the sidewalk barking as OK. teh second my dog makes that move he gets yelled at his line or leash is grabbed. he never is out front not on a line or leash.

my direct tv installer was scared shitless of him, and he freaked out the mailman too. and he is just 40lbs.

tons of people are afraid of dogs, although looking at stats, most dog kills in a year and dogs killing their owners :ninja:

I'm not condoning violent dog behavior, but in this case it would have justified if the fucking cop were mauled buy a pack of pit bulls or huskies.

You obviously have no reading comprehension skills. The cop was not an intruder, he was on foot patrol, and the dog ran after him. It didn't say the cop was on their property.

 

[erikistired]

There would be a dead cop if it was my dog.

e-thug alert!!

Just because the cop says it was charging doesn't make it true. The lying dirtbag in this case said the same thing about the 12-pound min-dachshund he killed. His buddies who performed the initial investigation suppressed physical evidence that contradicted his lies and cleared him of wrongdoing, but public outrage led to a second investigation that resulted in his termination.

Even if the dog was running at him, he's a coward for shooting it while it was still in the yard. I have been attacked by vicious dogs twice--once while concealing a pistol--and managed to survive without discharging a firearm in a populated area. And these were actual dangerous pitbull-type dogs, not harmless golden retrievers.

It didn't state that the cop were on the side walk or in the dog yard. However the dog was killed in its yard and the family had an electric fence.

The officer ordered the dog to stop and when it didn't, the officer shot and killed the animal in its yard, Daniel said.

Boomer was killed about 25 feet from his spot on the front porch, close to her front door, King said. He was not on a leash.

The family had an electric fence, but there was not a sign alerting the officer it was there, Daniel said.

I wonder what would happen if my sausage dog and chihuahua ran up to a cop in my driveway. Probably call in the SWAT team.

SWAT shoot corgis on sight, so I'd assume your sausage dog would be the same.

wow.

he couldn't think to kick the damn thing?

Oh well, I think my low energy Dachshund is probably praying for death already for having to live with the ultra-high energy chihuahua.

correct. it certainly doesnt say he walked on to the property and busted a cap in the dogs ass then raped the family like some on here seem to think he did :whiste:

DB cop does something pussy-like and dumb (and not at all typical of all cops! contrary to what these stories make it sound, most cops are smart/sane) : instant flame-bait to authoritarian bootlickers who want to suck the cop's dick over it, and the rampant blinded cop-haters on the other side. We are all jack's complete lack of surprise.

Points that need to be restating :

(1)- Mailmen don't carry .40 caliber semiautomatic pistols, and seem to manage just fine. A cop should be well versed in the different breeds and situations in dealing not just with dogs, but all probable animals he might encounter in a given area of duty. Common sense.

(2)- A golden retriever can be medium to large, but they are instantly identifiable as a mild breed. If it were a black lab or something, I could understand having trouble mistaking it for possibly a rott in a split-second decision time. Speaking of Rotts :

(3)- Anyone who's spent time with dogs knows full well that Golden Retrievers and Rotts are vastly different sort of dogs. GR are very friendly, energetic, and notably smaller than Rotts on average (~60-80lbs vs. 85-135lb typical). A rott chasing you is second only to a Pit chasing you, if you don't know the dog, in terms of immediate physical danger. Rotts are MUCH stronger than GRs, much more muscular dog, particularly the jaws and shoulders. GR is more of a running dog. You may as well compare a goldfish to a barracuda (not saying Rotts are bad dogs, but they can be one dangerous cuss if they are after you with malice).

(4)- Vague article is vague. Taken at face value, this cop made a rash decision and killed this dog needlessly. HOWEVER, perhaps this GR was waaaaay out of the norm, and instead of being happy/friendly, was really pissed off and ready to attack something. This behavior is much more common in abused animals, and it's not just Pits that are abused, that's for sure.

So what does the cop has to fear if the dog was behind a fence?

^ this. theres NEVER a reason to kill an angry golden retreiver. seriously, I've been around dogs my whole life and they aren't very strong or agressive dogs. they could barely do any damage. now rottweilers on the other hand, I would be pretty damn scared if one came running at me.

 

[pontifex]

Seriously? What a fucking moron. How goddamn stupid do you have to be to think that dog is actually going to attack you?

There's a huge difference between a dog barking just to bark at shit and a dog looking to attack something. If my dog bit everything she barked at then every car, person, bird, tree, family member, and breeze to come within a hundred yards of our house would be covered in teeth marks. But they aren't.

i must be pretty damn stupid because if a strange large dog is running after me barking and acting vicious, then i'm going to assume it's going to attack me.

 

[pontifex]

Oh please. I'm not the one who needs to stop and think, the cop needed to do that. You don't just go around with a gun in a neighborhood and shoot at anything that moves. You need to think and assess the situation, including the threat. Considering that the dog was still IN THE YARD and that the officer was OUTSIDE THE YARD, I have a difficult time thinking that the officer didn't have time to take other action, including waiting or backing up. If the dog actually comes out of the yard, then yes, it's unrestrained and I can see taking action to protect himself from the dog.

I wasn't there, so I don't know. We're all speculating based on the information provided, and based on what I've read, I think the action was very inappropriate and I don't think I'd be confident with such a trigger happy (or incompetent) individual walking my neighborhood armed and ready to blast anything that might move.

i love how a strange large dog running at him and barking = wanting to blast anything and everything that moves.

those things you watch on TV are called movies. they are fiction. fiction means they are fake, not real...got it?

 

[erikistired]

So what does the cop has to fear if the dog was behind a fence?

how the fuck would he know there was an electric fence there if there were no signs? using the force?

 

[Snxxx]

WWYBYWB?

And all wrong. Bottom line, you don't put leash or fence up your dog and it charges me, if I feel like it's gonna hurt me, I will take it down. Don't like it, put up a fucking fence.

BTW the bolded part has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen posted and I've seen tons of stupidity on these forums 😀

>>>>

And that's so funny because your post seems to me to be one of the dumbest things I'VE EVER seen posted.

I repeat: If you are too afraid to walk the streets because something might intimidate you - don't walk.

Maybe you will see a black man. Maybe you will see a person who is suffering from mental illness. Maybe you will see a barking dog. Or maybe you will see someone in a scary costume.

Don't go walking if you can't deal with it. (Dealing with it may include a license - if necessary - to carry mace or pepper spray.)

Surprise! The Constitution of the United States does NOT give you the right to walk without being afraid.

Big, big man you are, talking about shooting dogs. Congrats, Mr. Tough Guy! You might have shot the dog who would have warned the woman recently hacked to death in New Hampshire. You might have shot the dog, who, with its barking and intimidation posture, could have saved Elizabeth Smart from being raped and held hostage for two years by sadistic lowlifes.

You known, any jerk can shoot a dog. Kudos on your sense of discrimination and justice.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will value those dogs who have stopped innumerable crimes and atrocities by barking and running towards people entering their families' territories.

no leash is fair game.

Bahahahah, so we should just roll around town looking for dogs without leashes and mow them down? Brilliant 😛

I don't even think I've ever heard of a Golden retriever being shot before. I think this is just some wild fluke though.

My sister had a golden/something mix - the thing was fucking crazy. It would get startled at night when I'd get up to use the bathroom, and would start barking like it was about to kill. I was scared shitless to walk anywhere near it when it was resting/sleeping for fear it would attack me - this was a big dog. It eventually bit my niece in the face - she was a very petite 8 or 9 year old at the time.

Point is, when a big dog is running at you and barking like it's about to attack, it'll scare the shit out of you. If you have a gun, and don't know the dog, you may end up using it too.
