A COP SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE THE JUDGEMENT CALL OF PUTTING DOWN AN ANIMAL THAT ISN’T AN IMMEDIATE THREAT!!!

[@blackcherry6877]

Call Sturgeon Police Department and complain until this officer us fired. Take it to the State if need be.

[@mihadalzayat6957]

So evil to take a life of an innocent animal like that. Where's the humanity?

[@asger4876]

The ignorance of that police officer is a threat to all citizens.

[@karlhans6678]

Someone call John Wick.

What an absolute coward

[@hehe-x7z]

coward? how so?, stop using words you don't know what means

[@andrecarney9528]

That officer don't deserve that badge.

[@danighere4180]

That poor sweetheart wasnt even growling.

[@JimmyWheezy]

I’m not an officer but its depressing how we know how to handle a situation more then these idiots

[@CyberGamingStudiosOfficial]

the dog is clearly not abandoned nor sick

[@SigmaProdzzz]

I have and old, almost blind and deaf dog. It’s small like teddy and just as cute. I couldn’t imagine and officer taking her away from me like that, I can feel the owners emotions, RIP Teddy

[@nurserambo1316]

This infuriates me. The little dog was no threat and was obviously someone's pet, not some feral rabid dog. This officer should be fired and charged with animal cruelty. Why fire the mayor? It was the cop's fault. RIP sweet little dog...you didn't deserve this.

[@Springboi101]

You can tell he just did not care at all cause he waved her off

[@dragulia_venaro]

Who tf calling the cops telling a false report? They should be blame for this too.

[@grt8guy03]

to this day, this incident breaks my heart. The cop should be FIRED and go to jail for animal CRUELTY. As a former LEO I WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER DONE THIS to an innocent animal

[@cami0076]

So he did not get fired!?! Did not resign?

[@GorillaWithACellphone]

Per usual he ended up on “paid leave”…which didn’t matter because he’s employed by two departments and is still policing in the other department

[@Jimmith829]

The wrong animal got put down that day

[@mattg1611]

Clearly a psychopath 🤦🏻poor dog man, literally what is a 2 pound old dog going to do to you?

[@Mango-bf1oj]

The cop was really that threatened by a dog that can’t see or hear where he even is poorly handled situation my condolences go out to the owner.

[@TheJr478]

Come on, man. This is ridiculous and just so wrong.

[@pinkyzinkypower6387]

Respectfully that dogs life was hell

[@elizabethmachan193]

That’s wild! This officer should be suspended & his family compensated. I’m sure the neighbourhood would agree this situation was handled poorly.

[@TonganHalfBreed]

For those curious, they reopened the case and the sociopath is placed on leave. Unsure if it’s paid or not. Sources that I’ve read seem to vary on that. Never be silent. Public outrage caused them to reopen the case. Not to mention the countless posts from locals about the officer being an arrogant bully from before and after he was given a badge. With a long list of complaints against him.

[@Mae_Renneburg]

Its absolutely insane how cops can just be placed on leave instead of fired, or even arrested. This guy killed a dog for no good reason, and he isn't even charged or really punished for it, worse so if it's paid leave. I hate this place.

[@Tylnorton]

@@Mae_Renneburg If I was chief, I would have fired him on the spot, and then arrest him with a federal felony under animal cruelty.

[@TonganHalfBreed]

Yeah the system just doesn’t make sense. I come from a family of law enforcement and was full on planning becoming on myself even getting a degree in criminal Justice studies for it. But my family and myself realized that the system is so messed up that not even a good cop can help improve or change the system like we had hoped. So most of us just left that life in general. It just didn’t feel right anymore.

[@718Mudd]

Imagine bro working at a center for seniors…

[@willd.4808]

The fact that cops can just say "well I FELT threatened" even when there is obviously and visibly no threat to anyone with two braincells, and we're all just supposed to accept it as a good enough reason for a cop ending the life of an animal or person is nauseating to me. I realise that being a cop is dangerous and you have to make difficult decisions, but when you choose to become a cop you have to accept you're choosing some level of risk to yourself, and be able to handle situations of risk without your first instinct being to fill someone with lead

[@Cinnamoroll_playzs]

That officer should be fired and go to jail! This Is very upsetting 😢

[@Notmeee324]

I didn’t know you could hate a person without meeting them freaking psychopath

[@alfadov]

he wasnt even doing anything "protect the citizens" "thought he had rabies" HE LEGIT HAD NO RABIES EFFECTS

[@Zyztem300]

This is cruel

[@Sunnys_Bleu33]

Im so sorry that this had to happen to this poor dog. May this beautiful dog rest in peace❤️🕊️

[@bigxcon]

Why the hell is a police officer on animal patrol duty??

[@aronkibet7710]

Two shots for a tiny dog?,Disgusting

[@fit4u679]

What a punk! He decided to take a life because he couldn't handle a fluffy old cute dog.. . What the actual FLIP!?!?!

[@A1Kirazz]

We had a 15 year old pup and in his final days he was blind but he would still move around and fortunately he could still hear. I miss him a lot.

[@MashBro]

That dog was playing with a stick 3 seconds before he murdered it
