At about 5:45 the dog is subdued and on the ground at the end of a pole leash. Shortly after that the cop puts a bullet in it's head for no reason.

Sounds like the typical pig that has infested today's police departments.

I don't believe it is typical, but they are growing in number.

What's the back story on this?  Does anyone know?

I couldn't find it. My point is that the dog was not being vicious at that time and was under control.  If it needed to be put down for some reason, it should have been done in a humane way.

As callous as it may sound, a single shot to the head is one of the most humane.  I'm really curious as to why this happened, though.

Still can't find why the cops were there, but the courts sided with the owner and against the city and the cops.  This happened a couple of years ago, but seems like it is making the rounds again.

Case involving police officer who shot, killed man's dog in LaGrange, Mo., settled
 
ST. LOUIS  • A federal case involving a LaGrange, Mo., police officer who fatally shot a man's dog has settled in the plaintiff's favor for $50,000, the man's attorney said.

The case was set for trial early next week and was settled last month.

In a suit filed in January 2012 in federal court in St. Louis, Marcus Mays of LaGrange alleges a LaGrange police officer illegally seized his property — an 18-month-old American bulldog named Cammie — by shooting and killing it in March 2010. LaGrange is in Lewis County, about 145 miles northwest of St. Louis.

Mays' attorneys argued that the police officer's job was to capture the animal, not kill it, and that lethal force was unreasonable. They also accused the city of LaGrange of failing to train Officer Doug Howell in how to safely capture animals.

Seems like these things get recycled over and over because we just don't get enough opportunities to smear people who chose to protect and defend.

I don't think poorly of most police or even very many of them.  This one may be an older one, but these stories seem to happen more frequently.  Maybe it's just that we do hear about them because of the internet.  Most things like this would have only made the local news years ago.

Thanks for the update.  Yeah, that was definitely unnecessary and the settlement far too low.

I was really replying to Jmartin's post which I found over the top.  Although, if this type of thing is happening so frequently, perhaps you could provide more recent examples.

I have been following these stories closely and the trend is getting extremely disturbing. There are numerous cases one can find through this site: https://www.facebook.com/JusticeForCisco

Training. It is happening more and more. There's some movie coming out about it, Puppycide or something like that.

Personally, I think it is because the way you really traumatize and American is by attacking his pets.

Pets Hell, last week cops went to a call from family that their son who was skitsoid at 18 was in need of protection as he was running about threatening the family.

Story is cops came in tazed the boy then one of the cops said I don't have time for this and shot the boy dead in front of horrified parents.
