well I watched the video and i gotta say that dog was coming at a fast clip, he was untethered and unfenced. the dog was on the attack. thank God the cop had a quick draw beause it looked like the dog was about to jump when he shot it.
wish he would have tazed it but he may not have had a taser at the time.
If your dog attacks, KEEP IT ON A LEASH OR BEHIND A FENCE!!
don't be whining if it gets killed!

It appears this deputy, Sean Knight is quite a piece of work.
after the dog shooting incident he was fired from an off duty security position for falsifying time sheets.
The department stated they would not press charges because that is not a crime, however it is, because falsifying time sheets equals theft from a company.
It's obvious this guy's a scum bag who feels he can do whatever he wants without consequences, ... and his department only cover's his azz.
here's the article
chickashanews.com...
Deputy Knight too could not be reached for comment. Knight also recently made headlines after shooting a Blanchard woman’s family dog last year and allegations of wrongdoing were turned over to the Sheriff’s Department as well as a lawsuit filed. Allegedly the commissioners are expected to approve a $15,000 settlement with the victim at next Monday’s commissioners meeting.

Wasn't the case settled?
A cash sum for the owner of the dog...
There you have it, what he did was wrong, if there was ANY way he could have walked away from this scot-free--he would have.
No use standing up for him (after all--he is a criminal for stealing).
And anyone who thinks they can get away with this will end up in jail for trying (unless you're a cop).
Would I have killed the dog? Probably not.
Would I have charged the owner for not having the dog under control? You bet.

You're pathetic.
The cop entered private property. The dog was on private property. The dog didn't even run directly at the cop, but past him, as the video clearly shows.
How hard is it to understand that this cop just trampled on these people's rights big time, also the dog's rights, and that he is a big fat coward, and that his actions are so far out of proportion, that it's mindboggling.
Did you see the dog's pic, at around 0.45 in the video?
Does this dog scare you?
I can't believe people like you are actually sticking up for this piece of trash cop.
Pathetic.

So what you are saying is that nobody is allowed to enter your property, approach the front door, ring the bell and talk to you?
The dog was on a course for the cop. It got shot. I continued past him where it rolled over dead. Perhaps you should watch the video?
He was afraid of the dog. Yes. Trampling on peoples rights because he drove up their drive. Get real!
It might scare me if it ran toward me barking like mad.
Did I piss you off some more?
EDIT: By some sort of weird cooincidence your tag is the sanme as the name of the sword I carried in my D&D days. How funny is that? Not! Ah well.

Did you add the snip in my quote? Why?
***snip***
The cop had the choice to retreat to his car, he didn't, instead he went for his gun, and executed the family dog.
Are you saying that those people didn't have the right to live in peace and not having their dog shot by someoned they didn't invite?
Barking dogs don't bite. Don't be such a wussyboy.
Did I piss you off some more?
Don't flatter yourself. It's the spineless jellyfish movement you represent, that annoys me. You are a mere specimen.

I do that as a note for anyone reading, so that they know that I have removed text.
No, but what I am saying is that if you have a property where people might enter (i.e. with no fence and no gate) you have an obligation to keep the dog on a leash, a chain or under personal control.
That's where you are wrong. Barking dogs (depending on their bark of course) are warning you. The warning could end in them stopping with the barking, but only because they can't bark and bite at the same time.
You should consider this: YOU are standing in a driveway. YOU have a gun. YOU don't think you can get back in the car when a large dog approaches at a far pace whilst barking like mad. YOU are convinced it is on the attack.
And don't give me this Crocodile Dundee crap, where you can stare the dog down. It doesn't happen in real life with dogs determined to attack.
And I get annoyed with knee jerk reactions where people readily throws themselves into the frey against The Man, without considering the facts from different angles. What you and a lot of others have done is being led by the invisible ring in your nose by people with a cause.
What we did have was respect for others.
