Discuss.

I don't support the fact that the dog was shot (instead of given a good kick to the face or tazed), but I realize I probably would've done the same. A dog will wreck your shit.

That's so sad ._..
But the dog didn't die?
Idk I don't really think that the police officer did anything wrong, but it's sad. And if you tazed a dog that size I'm pretty sure that could possibly kill it anyways? Not sure.

Well yeah, probably it would have been more wise to taze it, but it was a pit bull. They can really fuck your shit up when provoked. So imo, the cop could have used better judgment, but you have to do what you have to do.

Up here in CT, we're currently having a case of where a pet monkey attacked a next door neighbor. The police came and the monkey then attacked the police so he open fired and hit 3 bullets in it.

It's sad it died but dogs can be very dangerous sometimes. I probably would have shot it too.

But it didn't die. Tazing the dog probably would have killed it because electric shocks and stuff

Pit bulls are actually considered feral here now. Many children have been mauled to death by them over the past year. If this happend in Australia, where people actually know of their danger, I may have given it another shot. They are a massive problem now.

It's just a random dog which attacked a person. And these things are pretty common anyway.

It's really sad and hard for me to watch a dog get injured, especially like that...poor thing; but under the circumstance I can see why the cop would've done it... very sad still, I wish there could've been a better way...

I think that people should have to apply for a license to own a pitbull.

The breed itself isn't inherently bad.

People are just generally fucking retarded.

poor dog man, If I was that cop I don't think I would have gone to shoot it, but then again I don't really like dogs so I don't exactly know what dog is dangerous and what dog Isn't so It would probably maul me seeing how I'm so small and short ._.. I'd probably just kick it or something.

They're actually not allowed here I believe. Like super strict laws against them.

Although yes, it is bad, I don't think it was the worst reaction. Not the best, of course, but hey, if someone came running to you with a knife, wouldn't you shoot it too?

I think not long ago there was some news about a female pitbull who attack a man, he was pretty badly injured. I kind of understand the cop for shooting the dog as it could of seriously injured him. This is still sad though.

Also, I don't think cops are allowed to taser animals. I'm not an expert, but Tasing a human=/=Tasing a dog.


And those fucking ladies in the background : WHY DID YOU SHOOOT HIM WHY DID YOU SHOOT HIM
