Oklahoma deputy kills family dog

[cjjtulsa]

This happened because the Sheriff's Department received bad information saying the person they were looking for was at her home.

How often does this have to happen - not just to pets, but even homeowners? How long before that "oops, wrong house" bullsh*t gets a couple of deputies or other LEOs a dirt nap?

"Oops, wrong info. Not our fault. Sorry about your dog." Since this wasn't his first dog shooting, and the article clearly states that he wasn't "injured or attacked", maybe a cruelty to animals charge might be in order? Or is that another immunity of the badge?

How do you pray for a dead dog?
Anyway, since the deputy didn't feel the need to stay and talk to the owner or explain why he was trespassing, I'd say the shooting wasn't justified.

On your knees like your supposed too!
Understand now? Any argument?

No and no, but that discussion doesn't have a place in this thread.

There's a lot of holes in her story.

Isn't it considered trespassing without a warrant?

Agreed.........it just saddens me to see crap like this, the dog will be fine.

I'm not going to give an opinion since we only have one side of the story, but I will its not trespassing if the officer believes the information he was acting off of is good and credible. With that said if he is acting off good faith and the dog was aggressive or attacked him then he had a reason to defend himself. Not saying he had reason to shoot the dog or that he didn't just that he was most likely there legally.
