third gunshot killed the dog.!

What kind cowardly monster kills an animal that is so small and pathetic?

Why did they corner it?

I have a Jack Russel Terrier (considerably larger by comparison) if it were to attack me or someone else, it would certainly be annoying but in no way could your fear for your life or even fear at all. An act of aggression from something so small is comical if anything.

Bless the little bugger's soul though, kept fighting even after being beaten, tasered and shot twice.

My thoughts go out to its owners.

What a horrible thing to come home to after a funeral. Why were the cops there? Why didn't they just leave? There should be some kind of training or mental testing that cops have to go through because something is extemely wrong with our policeman. It's getting so that everytime you hear the news, along with the story of all the regular criminals, there's the cop who crossed the line.

Hmmmm - lesseee....bitten 17 times on one hand and 9 on the other. Perhaps he should have stopped at bite 3 and waited for animal control. An animal cornered and tortured can be expected to fight back.

You have to bend over to try and grab one of these dogs, they are so small. All the cop had to do to defend himself stand upright and stop grabbing at the dog.

Those cops need a taser shoved up the butt and used on full strength. They terrorized and executed an poor little dog.

To quote the late great George Carlin

"There should be two new requirements for police officers. Intelligence and decency. Who knows it hasn't been tried yet, it may just work."
