This may need to get moved to purgatory.

[Jeff Wiechowski]

That cop should be moved to Purgatory.

that funk cop would have had to shoot me too, but he would have needed to be fast.

[Sandy Redd]

I hear ya ekap. If that cop shot my dog I probably would have died too or he would have been shot as well. That's so f'ed up

[Mike Murphy]

that [bleep] cop would have had to shoot me too, but he would have needed to be fast.

This all the way.

I am actually speechless, that is the most atrocious thing I've heard in a long time. That cop should be strung up, covered in dog food, and left for other dogs to tear the [bleep] outta him.

[Todd Lapham]

Wow that is F'd up. Seems totally unnecessary and unfortunately not the first time this has happened. I hope he gets what he deserves.

You don't get life for shooting a police dog...

Bear-Bear decision still a week away
Prosecutors say they are still at least a week away from deciding whether charges will be filed against the federal officer who shot and killed a Siberian Husky he thought was acting too roughly with his dog at a Maryland dog park.

The officer, though authorities have withheld his name, has been identified as Keith Elgin Shepherd, employed by the Army at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Northern Virginia.

Anne Arundel County prosecutors told the Baltimore Sun yesterday that it may take another week for them to finish their investigation. The investigation was prompted by a public outcry after authorities originally said no charges would be filed.

Public interest in the case remains high. About 20 people demonstrated yesterday outside the Anne Arundel County courthouse in Annapolis, supporting of the owners of Bear-Bear, fatally shot Aug. 2 in a private dog park in the Quail Run community in Severn.

Police say the shooter thought Bear-Bear, who was unleashed, was getting too rough with his German shepherd, who was leashed.

Police have refused to identify the shooter, and his name was blacked out on police reports supplied to the news media. But a report without redactions obtained by the Sun identifies him as Shepherd.

Prosecutors said last week that key issues focused on whether the shooter was legally allowed to carry a personal handgun off-post, and whether he broke the law in shooting the husky or was acting to defend his dog, self and wife.

misdomeaners because dogs are property?

[Mike Murphy]

I believe all pets are classified as property if I recall correctly.
