DannyZuco Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Don't get me wrong, the guy did not follow instructions and pulled a gun. My questions seem a little odd.... Did he point the gun at the human officers? or Did he point the gun at the K9 only? The article, which is sensationalizing the story, makes it seem they were shooting the criminal because he was pointing a gun at a dog. If that were the case, then I don't think it is a "rightful" shooting. But if video shows that the officers, the humans, were being pointed at also, then it would be a rightful shooting. While I like many different kinds of animals, especially deer, elk, and other edibles, an animal is not on the same level as a human when it comes to sensationalized journalism like this.

Hayseed Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'm just a small time local sportswriter but, from any journalists' view, it would be nice to know if he was legally in possession of the firearm and if he had a multi-page wrap sheet.

BarryLaverty Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Don't point your gun at my dog, or we would have problems, too. But, I also enjoyed the comments below that were truly the best of America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that lightning doesn't strike me, but you were right, the comments were about as Right Wing Nut Job as they could get. But look at it this way Barry, you just got another voter for your side. "Outrageous, he was fine upstanding Democrat, voted multiple times every election. At least his votes will continue to be counted for years to come." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyLife Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Based on the pic...even if he was pointing at the dog those officers are just a foot or two away and he could turn the gun on them in a split second. Justifiable imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justifiable either way.....you pull a gun on a cop (and k9 are cops) you should be shot....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if he pointed it at the K-9 or not while the penalty isn't as high as pointing at an officer or shooting one it is still a felony. In Arizona and Texas they are considered property. From what I saw in the video he pointed his gun at the officers first, then quickly pointed it at the dog. It's a good thing the cops arrived to shoot him first to save the service dog. I think that police K-9's should be treated as officers in regards to penalties against criminals. They have no fear, and will go after criminals even if they are shot at unlike the Uvalde Police. I also think they should receive a retirement check to feed them and for medical treatment after they retire. I know that in Texas that their handler can adopt them.

If you watch the video, you will see him point it first at the cops then the dog, and then briefly at the cops again, and then he's down for the count.

I would say that you fail to understand dogs. Other than a horse, a dog shows more human emotion than any other animal given to man by God.

Why are you in a situation where you’re pulling a pistol on human and K9 policemen? Terrible decision making on the perp’s part got him to that moment.
