Wow, this one even has me flabbergasted and I'm pretty jaded about these stories.

Thumbnail: Cops chasing suspect. Suspect runs to hotel, knocks on first door he sees, total strangers answer the door. Cops show up right on suspect's heels and start to arrest him. In the melee, the unrelated, innocent couple's dogs, an 8 month old Boxer puppy and pregnant Chihuahua start barking and raising hell.

Cops execute them both.

Jesus fucking Christ...:mad:



Pregnant Chihuahua & Puppy Boxer Gunned Down During Suspect Search

http://www.krcrtv.com/news/30699647/detail.html

REDDING, Calif. -- Redding Police were forced to kill two dogs Friday night when they found a suspect hiding in a motel room.

The dogs were a pregnant chihuahua and an 8 month old boxer.

It all started about 5:30 p.m. Friday in North Redding when police were searching for 33 year old Danny Tompkins of Redding. He was a fugitive wanted on a $25,000 felony arrest warrant for probation violations.

Tompkins ran to the Motel 6 on Twinview Blvd and knocked on the door of Jennifer Obanion, who was staying at the motel with her finace.

Police tell us Tompkins was in the room briefly and exited. As officer started to cuff him, Obanion's boxer puppy reportedly "charged" at both officers and Tompkins.

Officers tell us they fatally shot the boxer to prevent it from attacking officers. The pregnant chihuahua was caught in the line of fire and was also killed.

The suspect was eventually arrested.

Stay with us for new details on this developing story.



Puppies Offered To Family Whose Dogs Were Killed

http://www.krcrtv.com/news/30718087/detail.html

REDDING, Calif. -- After Redding Police were forced to kill two dogs Friday night, a Northstate family is now offering two puppies to console the family.

Patricia Daniels said she knows how hard it is to lose a puppy so she wanted to help out, donating two pups.

One is a cha-weenie; that's a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix. The other is a Chihuahua-Pomeranian-Zoolo mix.

Patricia said two girl dogs will be ready next week and there's a boy dog who'll be ready in about a month.

The dogs that were killed were a pregnant chihuahua and an 8 month old boxer.

The incident started about 5:30 p.m. Friday in North Redding when police were searching for 33 year old Danny Tompkins of Redding. He was a fugitive wanted on a $25,000 felony arrest warrant for probation violations.

Tompkins ran to the Motel 6 on Twinview Blvd and knocked on the door of Jennifer Obanion, who was staying at the motel with her fiance.

Police tell us Tompkins was in the room briefly and exited. As officers started to cuff him, Obanion's boxer puppy reportedly "charged" at both officers and Tompkins.

Officers tell us they fatally shot the boxer to prevent it from attacking officers. The pregnant chihuahua was caught in the line of fire and was also killed.

The suspect was eventually arrested.

Redding Police tell us they're always sympathetic when they have to kill a dog, but their priority is to protect the public and fellow officers.

Corporal Shawn McGinnis tell us, "Officers are given lots of different tools at their disposal such as tasers, pepper mace, other types of less lethal weapons to use against dogs. However, when a dog is actively charging an officer, there's often very little time to get to those weapons and some of those weapons are very slow acting and they may not stop the attack like a firearm can."

(Circular force continuum folks. - AF)

When an officer kills an animal, the Police Chief reviews it to determine if it was justified.

Where are they finding these pussy-ass cops? Kindergarden? If you're afraid of a 5lb dog, you're a joke. Period.

The cops were only protecting their lives. The dogs may have had rabies. It's also possible that the dog could have scratched their ankle, and then got infected. Infections can be quite serious.

A cop's job is very dangerous; it's very important for the cop to protect his life at all costs. If it even remotely resembles a threat, it's better to put a bullet into it. Otherwise the cop could theoretically get killed, and we wouldn't want that.

It seems as if they will execute any creature which questions their authority by barking or being in the presence of the gods.
