Paid leave isn't a punishment, it's what's done while an investigation is ongoing.

Yeah as we can see from the Walmart and the NYC choking murders even video evidence isn't enough to prosecute cops. We'll just have clearer evidence to be outraged at while they continue this shit.
Wow.

I watched it. A six month old pit bull isn't as tiny as you make it out to be. This is not an ideal outcome, but there has to be an understanding that loose dogs can be dangerous. There are two dogs that one officer had to confront, and he had a report that the dogs were aggressive.

They do, and actually came and got the other non-threatening dog that the officer decided not to execute for whatever reason.
Paid leave isn't an issue, it never is with any of these cases. The issue is nothing is ever done after the investigation.

Dehumanizing tail wag. Dog had it coming. Fair. Next?

Yeah no. That dog isn't threatening in any way. He shot a puppy, he lied about it. Hope he goes to jail, but unfortunately it probably won't happen.

Clearly the dog had rabies. Look at the wag in its tail, it tells a story.
Gonna have to wait for all the facts to be out before coming to a conclusion. Why would a cop just shoot a puppy for no reason? The dog obviously did something to provoke the cop. You don't know what kind of stress the cop was under when the dog was aggressively wagging its tail back and forth, maybe the dog barked before the video started recording and startled the cop and he was in fear for his life?
More facts. Also need a autopsy report, were not sure if the dog had THC in its system and wasn't obeying orders or sit or roll over.
It was a Pit Bull? Those dogs in the wrong hands can be really aggressive. I want the owner of the dog to go through drug tests and a psyche test to make sure he doesn't get to own anymore animals.

I thought Mumei just told people to stop pretending to be idiots.
It's good to see people not letting a tragedy go to waste.
Just once I'd like to read a story about a cop admitting they made a huge mistake killing someone or something and being actually remorseful about it.
But nah, they stay lying and trying to cover shit up. Fucking gang of psychopaths paid for with tax dollars. I fucking hate the police.

We need a new list for dogs shot by cops to go alone with the one for black people.
#1. Wagging tail while pit bull.

Thanks for contributing.
I think what I posted is pretty reasonable and cogent.
From what was down on video, the officer seemed to react with excessive force.
People who make death threats over this are pieces of shit.
And if the owners were more responsible in the housing and restraint of their animals the odds of people calling the police on viscious dogs drop.
Yup, I always tell my fiancée to never have our dogs out or around if she ever sees any police in the area. God forbid one of them barks and takes a bullet to the head.

... that makes all of this even worse. At least it shows lapel cameras are great for evidence.

Probably already too much gear in the car tac gear that has no identification on it, grenade launchers, depleted uranium rounds or whatever else is deemed appropriate for day to day interactions with the civilians they serve and protect.
Frankly that puppy should have been taken out with a drone strike, there wasn't any need to put that officer's life in jeopardy like that.

And then he even lies about it in his report.

People make jokes of human death stories on this website.
This happened in august and apparently would never had gotten much attention if someone didn't leak the clip. He almost got away with it ( who knows, he still might)

Getting so very tired of the bullshit responses from Police Departments or cities when we can clearly see what the hell happened in that video, and all the other videos that shit response is spouted at.

It's obvious that the clip was edited down to put the officer in the worst possible light. I wonder if the department can release the rest of the video or if that's confidential?

eye for an eye.
Its insulting.
"We know what you saw, but you didn't see it the way we were told it happened by the officer. So please, we have to put this officer on paid vaction while we figure it out, now, since this video surfaced."
Some form, every time. Months go on, and then people forget as there's a new statement from another Chief saying the same thing. Its not that there are more cameras around to catch these rare instances anymore. Its that these aren't rare instances being filmed because these officers simply do not give a damn about doing their job with civilians in mind.
