Once again we see in the newspaper a story of a trigger happy cop killing a family's pet. In this case, a police officer who was allegedly threatened by a dog. ( (Akron Beacon Journal, Fri June 13th, pg.B5) No, I do not want a police officer to suffer a dog attack without defending themself. But, I DO think that police officer's are sometimes too quick to brutality and gun fire...against people and animals. Why couldn't this police officer have used mace? A stun gun? Why lethal force? Do you really want this officer pulling a gun and firing it in your neighborhood unless it is absolutely necessary? . Police Chief Dennis Hanwell should take some action against this officer before she kills again.
Will he? No, because this will get swept under the rug like everything else does. But, the officer doesnt get all the blame: if this dog was not contained, the family has to take some responsibility for the dog's death. Again, an innocent animal has suffered because of the stupidity and carelessness of two sets of people who should have acted more prudently.
