NE - The single worst dog killing by cops I have ever seen.

Only police may comment. $#@!ing pussies!

The common theme in those comments is that cops think you're stupid when you don't ask "how high?" in response to their "jump." It's as if they've been programmed that their every wish and whim carries the power of God. You're stupid when you exercise your rights. You're stupid if you question authority.

I have an account there

They better not to that to my cat!

Fact Finders checked with the Nebraska Humane Society. Teela, a Labrador, golden retriever mix, had a clean record with no history of bites or vicious behavior. Schulte says Teela belonged to his aunt, Michelle Meadows.

Even the dogs have a permanent record?

I just responded that they didn't need to shoot the dog. There are a lot of idiots on that site.

To be fair, is there any "vetting" to prove anybody there is actually a cop?

Yeah, they called your department IIRC.

Ugh, well, that doesn't ease my mind any.

I know.... The %uckers have multiplied since I left the force.

[Carson]

And along with the dogs permanent records...

I realize this is a little off topic but once they have DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) samples on all of the dogs, will it still stand up in court? I mean since there would be at least two sources.

Is it that they are being trained to believe they are better than people?

[juleswin]

Lol, This happened a few miles from my apt and I didn't even know about it. Leave it to AF to dig up every dog/cop story in the US. Very sad story, lets hope the $#@! cop gets fired and loses his pension and retirement(wishful thinking)

[Anti Federalist]

Is it that they are being trained to believe they are better than people?

Not better, exactly.

We are "hostiles".

They have gone to full on siege mode, they feel and have been trained to act as if they had just parachuted into the most hostile war zone, behind enemy lines, imaginable.

That every person they meet is a potential enemy combatant, to be lit up, without question or hesitation at the slightest twitch of trouble.

That their safety and survival is paramount to anything else, and if a bunch of hostiles or non combantants have to go down to protect that, so be it.

NOT patrolling and serving and living in a community that they share with the people they are abusing.

Well, with what they have been doing to people, they will end up in just that, the most hostile war zone imaginable.

And I hate to even think that, because that is exactly what the $#@!ers running this circus want.

But, FFS, there comes a point...

"There isn't an officer out there I know that wants to shoot a dog, any animal!" said Kliff Grimes a national representative for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers.

[asurfaholic]

I seriously doubt cops have the authority to "lock down" a neighborhood. That would in essence be imposing some sort of civilian martial law.

Ya, and he who doesn't comply gets his ass handed to him and his dog shot in the head.

Sounds to me like they found all the "authority" they needed, riiiiiight here

[bunklocoempire]

"There isn't an officer out there I know that wants to shoot a dog, any animal!" said Kliff Grimes a national representative for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers.

Hey Kliff, do you know any officers who would first tackle a guy with a dog attached to him by leash therefore provoking the animal to defend it's pack but first possibly warning by baring it's teeth and growling.. you know like a dog will do when it senses bull $#@! or danger? Oh you do? So you're full of $#@! aren't you Kliffy.

(invislbe ink -fun stuff)

[alucard13mmfmj]

Well.. if some guy tackled me, you can be damn sure my dog will lunge at the tackler or at least bark excessively.

I guess that is what the cop was expecting.. that once he tackled the guy, the dog would turn aggressive to protect his or her owner.

[Czolgosz]

Is it time?

Way past.

[jclay2]

Unfortunately, this sort of thing will continue to happen. The owners and neighbors were upset, but accepting of what the officers did imho. The owner actually said, "why couldn't they have tazed the dog?". Its ok if you tazer the dog, just don't kill him?

Don't worry though, I am sure that justice will be served in this internal investigation.

I read the first six comments posted on that site. One guy had some inclination of blow back. the rest of the posters were gestapo totalitarian a$$holes. That shows me the bad ones are the rule rather than the exception.

I looked at those comments as well. Absolutely disgusting. They basically admitted that the slightest disobeying of orders by a mundane justifies these executions.

Here are some fun comments on policeone.com

"Dog just doing its job....etc."

Am I the only one who saw the dog just stand there and sniff or is this a case of 2+2=5?

preemptive strike on the dog before the dog can become aggressive! preemptive like everything these days.

Wow, I didn't even realize that story was posted in the officer safety section of the site. Just disgusting.

[presence]

A summary execution is a variety of execution in which a person is accused of a crime and then immediately killed without benefit of a full and fair trial. This includes show trials, but is usually understood to mean capture, accusation, and execution all conducted during a very short span of time, relative to the severity of the punishment. Summary executions have been practiced by police, military, and paramilitary organizations and are frequently associated with guerrilla warfare, counter-insurgency, and any other situation which involves a breakdown of the normal procedures for handling accused prisoners (either civilian or military).

If you were armed and saw such a thing, what would you do?

Don't answer if you don't want to.

I consider the dog part of my family. The officer's life holds just as much significance as mine, or my families.

Can somebody who has the means, save that video clip and youtube it before it goes down the memory hole?

I uploaded it to YouTube. Sorry for the logo in the top right corner (I'll fix it later today and upload it again)
