COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (CBS4) – Colorado’s largest police organization, the Fraternal Order of Police, is calling a criminal charge against a Commerce City police officer who shot and killed a dog “outrageous” and the result “of a sensationalized media event.”

Commerce City Police Officer Robert Price shot and killed the dog, Chloe, on Nov. 24 after police received a call of a loose dog.

The incident was videotaped by a neighbor with a cellphone and went viral. Animal activists were furious at the shooting feeling it was unjustified and unnecessary. A month after the shooting, the Adams County District Attorney’s Office announced that Price was being charged with one count of aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony.

The Fraternal Order of Police further commented, "it's not like it was a police dog".

From CBS;

“It is our opinion these officers did nothing wrong and are unfortunate victims of a sensationalized media event,” Violette wrote. “This matter should never have been referred to the district attorney’s office by the department. It is obvious to us that the involved officials felt the media and public focus being brought to bear on their decisions regarding this matter, and as a result found it easier to act in the manner they did rather than do the right thing in this case.”

As one of the unwashed public I'd like to call for Violettes head on a pike.

If this moron can actually watch what those cops did and then try to justify their actions then he is one of the idiots responsible for this type of behavior by cops.
