Police Dog Shootings 7/22/2012-7/28/2012

7/28/2012 - A dog inaccurately described as a 100-lb Pit Bull (no Pit Bull, unless obese, should weigh that much) was shot and killed in Michigan for running towards officers. Those same officers "controlled" an unruly man by tasering him, and then killing his dog. Problem solved, yo.

7/27/2012 - During a shootout in Indiana, a police K-9 was shot and killed by officers after the German Shepherd attacked another officer.

 7/26/2012 - A Pit Bull was shot twice after he charged at an officer and "bared his teeth". The dog survived.

7/26/2012 - Goodness knows why Prince George County has waited four years and a lawsuit later to implement animal handling policies. Four years ago, the mayor of Berwyn Heights (he lived in Prince George County) was the victim of a no-knock SWAT raid that resulted in the tragic murder of his two Labrador Retrievers (one of whom was shot as he ran away from the officers), and the terrorizing of the mayor's family. No crime had been committed, but hey! That hasn't stopped no-knock "drug" raids. Now Prince George County has finally decided to train officers.

7/25/2012 - A woman in Ohio was attempting to put her dog, described as a Pit Bull, into an outdoor kennel when the dog bit her. Police arrived, separated the dog from the woman, and when the dog attempted to bite one of the officer, he shot the dog four times, killing him.
