Couldn't watch such a vid., it would be just too upsetting

Did the cop have a warrant to enter the private premises ?

Unfortunately, you will be seeing more of this. More cops are as they retire will be replaced by Iraq/Afghanistan ex-soldiers who are untreated for PTSD and have excess testosterone due to the MAOA gene.
This is why we have douchebags patroling our streets to bring in more revenue. Sad but true.

People need to take action locally to avoid this same thing happening. Ask the police if they have received any training on how to deal with family pets without using lethal force. I would also bring up the same question at city council meetings. Put the police departments on notice that your city won't put up with this kind of crap.

How many years has the post office delivered mail on foot. They have to deal with dogs from time to time and they don't carry a gun. You have to be one worthless human to reach for a gun any time you run into a dog on its own property alerting it's master.

If people don't demand change for local police. This kind of stuff will continue to happen.

the pay outs will always be less than the pay ins so no thats a horrible idea
all you would be doing is dumping tons of money into insurance companies
if anything they would lobby for more dog shootings so more people would fear enough to buy the insurance

The purpose is not to get a large payout from the insurance company after the dogs death by cop. The purpose if to make the insurance company get involved on the legal side, once a dog is killed, especially in large numbers among policy holders. The legal effect against Law Enforcement would be even greater, if all dogs shot by police happened to be covered by the same insurer, as well. They would likely draw up real data, about police shooting dogs, to strengthen their cases.

Remember the insurance company would have to pay out the claim, for a dogs death by cop. Do they want to pay it or would they rather the negligent police department pay it instead? If there was an insured horse and a cop shot it for feeling threatened you better believe the insurance companies would spend the money in court fees to get the department to pay up. Once the case is settled I also guarantee the department, on the losing end, would make a long standing public policy against shooting insured horses (some horses can be insured for MILLIONS of dollars BTW). You never know what kind of precedents are out there on the legal books for animals covered under Animal & Livestock Mortality Insurance. Which the insurance companies have certainly fought and paid for through legal expenses over many decades. Law Enforcement certainly doesn't know ANY of them and could end up unpleasantly surprised in a court room after a wrongful dog shooting.

As I stated, if the number of dog owners carrying Animal & Livestock Mortality increases, the chances of a dog being shot by police that is carrying such insurance also increases. Since we know the individual police officers will not be prosecuted and that the laws will not change, the only solution is to make insurance companies take up the fight for us, based SOLELY on the fact that the insurance company doesn't want to be paying out money every time a scared cop shots a non threatening dog. Just like my horse example above, if cops shoot enough insured dogs in a negligent manner, the insurance companies are going to be make it a big headache for any department that does so willy-nilly. To my knowledge, there have been no dogs shot that were carrying Animal & Livestock Mortality Insurance. However, there have been more than a few breeding show dogs shot by law enforcement and in those cases the Police departments settled for much more then the standard $300 plus medical expenses. Imagine if those dogs had been insured as well, the pay out amount in damages would likely have been much higher. Also remember, the insurance covering the individual officer and the departments insurers will also be involved in the legal discussion about payout. Three insurance companies talking about a claim, involving a negligent cop whom shot a dog due to irrational fear, can't be good for institutional public policies that encourage officers to shoot civilian owned dogs on a whim.

No thoughts from anyone on the insurance angle? Is it possible to have a custom policy written up, that only covers accidental death by Law Enforcement personnel? How would an underwriter respond to such a request? My guess is that such an event would be considered very rare, with low risk to the insurer. So, would that mean a person could get low premium coverage on a dog with an established insured value, based on Animal & Livestock Mortality Insurance standards? The AKC already works with Hartford providing Dog Club insurance, I'd imagine they would be interested in expanding their markets that increase their overall revenue.

Seems like the scenario I outlined with livestock instead of dog, getting shot by Police happened, here is a link to the ATS thread:

I think I'm onto something, but those with experience would need to give some feedback

Started a new thread to discuss the Animal & Livestock Mortality Insurance strategy here:

I agree. There needs to be some sort of revolution in police training regarding dogs. How hard would it be to tranq the dog, or call in animal control and have them remove it from the situation?

We are civilized people in a civilized world. This primitive shoot first mentality with cops needs to end. They make good money, and considering the lack of intelligence needed, only deserve it because their life is on the line.

Not that all cops are bad, or that all cops are dumb, but they get payed well to risk their lives. They don't get paid well to risk ours and our family members(pets).
