A Kansas cop shot and killed the service dog of an army veteran who suffers from PTSD on Thursday, according to the Daily Haze.

Augusta police officer Devon Keith says he was forced to shoot Alan Fitzgerald’s dog “Midnite” claiming the dog charged an animal control officer after ramming a door until it opened – making the animal control officer fear for his life.

But Fitzgerald said his dog didn’t do anything wrong and officer Keith shot him for no reason.

Neighbors who witnessed the shooting said the animal control officer was the one who opened the door and began acting aggressively towards the dog before shooting it.

Augusta police, along with animal control, showed up at Fitzgerald’s house Thursday afternoon after a neighbor called to complain about a German Shepard.

Fitzgerald said Midnite got out on Thursday, presumably chasing rabbits and cats as he often did. Midnite ended up several mobile homes down from his home, hovering over a neighbor’s small dog.

“It’s how he plays,” Fitzgerald explained.

Fitzgerald talked to the small dog’s owner, who said the smaller dog wasn’t hurt, just “shaken up” from Midnite towering over it.

Things settled and Fitzgerald returned home and was in the shower when he heard Midnite bark and then gunshots.

“All of a sudden, I heard this pound pound pound on the screen door,” Fitzgerald recalled.

“And I heard Midnite barking, obviously he’s going to bark because he’s guarding the house. All of a sudden then I heard shots fired and I heard my dog screaming in agony.”

Fitzgerald came out to see what was going on only to have a gun pointed at him inside of his own house.

“I got halfway out the door, and about right here where this crack is, there’s an officer standing with his gun pointed at me. I said ‘what are you guys doing here, why did you kill my dog?’ he said, ‘Get on the ground’, I said, ‘I’m not gonna get on the ground so I went inside and slammed the door,” he told KSN.

August Police Chief Tyler Brewer defended officer Keith.

“The animal control officer felt in fear for his life,” the chief said.

“These officers feel horrible for having to do that.”

According to chief Brewer, when the animal control officer knocked on the door, Midnite answered.

“The front door was open but the glass screen door was shut,” Brewer explained. “The dog rushed and hit the glass of the screen door and startled the animal control officer.”

Officer Keith was forced to shoot Midnite when the animal control officer fell off the porch, hitting his head, trying to bite the officer, according to Brewer.

But Fitzgerald’s neighbor Charmin Drake says the dog got out because the animal control officer actually opened the door, not Midnite, then entered without a warrant and began kicking and even hitting Midnite with a baton.

After beating the dog, officers went outside and shot Midnite. Then they issued Fitzgerald two citations for having a vicious animal.

Fitzgerald rescued Midnight in 2015 and obtained an ADA service dog certificate, which required the dog to pass behavioral tests without showing signs of aggression, and said he had Midnite for his PTSD.

“Whenever I was having some sort of episode of oncoming anxiety, he knew what to do. He’d come up and nudge me or do something silly. He’d turn over on his back and give that little smile, you know, that dogs give. I’m just going to miss all of that.”

Of course he did - the frigging sadistic coward.(3 images)

How many bees or cows were a dire threat to cause physical
harm to police officers on duty over the past 50 years?

Place verything in proper perspective….right, Deckard?

Always remember that….at least try to.

At least two of the killed cops - as opposed to zero, zilch, nada, bupkis cops killed by dogs.

This was a service dog - they are trained to be non-aggressive.

Fitzgerald rescued Midnight in 2015 and obtained an ADA service dog certificate, which required the dog to pass behavioral tests without showing signs of aggression, and said he had Midnite for his PTSD.

I don’t care what a dog was “trained” to do, I care what a dog did….as you should also.

Passing behavioral tests one day is “suppose” to be an “indication” of what a dog “might do” the next day. However, that test is not, and can never be, an absolute guarantee of what a dog “will do” the next day.

As soon as I saw the source of the article you posted, photographyisnotacrime.com…a warning immediately flashed through my mind to indicate that I am looking at another ad-driven agenda site on the same level as The Free Thought Project. After checking further, I knew that I definitely was.

So you must understand that I cannot give any credence to your source or accept what some “undocumented Journalist” [you like that….I just coined it] named, “Ben Keller, who resides in Austin, Texas [a bastion of liberalism], where much of his activism centers around government accountability. He thinks the public should have more access to court rooms. [What?] He volunteers for Peaceful Streets Project as well as other groups [protests] who shine light on government corruption. He has no degree and only “studied” [attended a few classes in] English Literature and Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin.”

Hey, Bubba….your Ben Keller is a Matt Agorist [of TFTP] on steroids. Here are just a few of his recent articles. Not only is he prolific, he also has a fetish for capitals….which you cannot help but notice. That definitely indicates to me that he is no journalist.

Do you kinda get the theme of what Ben is all about and what his motives are. If not, then you are more stupid than I ever thought.

According to The Daily Blaze

Multiple neighbors who witnessed the shooting claim to have seen Officer Devon Keith enter Fitzgerald’s home, without permission, at which point he got into a confrontation with Midnite.
Maybe there is a way, but I fail to understand “multiple” how neighbors could have have seen this without being on the front porch with the police officer and the animal control officer. How did that know the Fitzgerald did not call from the back his home for the officers to come in? They did not.
Neither Fitzgerald or his mother were in the front of the residence when the shooting happened. Multiple witnesses say they saw Keith kick Midnite multiple times before finally shooting the German Sheperd.
Fitzgerald and his mother could not possibly have know what happened since they were in the back of the house and saw nothing of the incident.

Sport, there is just not any factual data for me to either condemn or support this action by the officers, and I will be damned and gone to Hell before I would ever “convict” them on hearsay from Ben Keller, who was nowhere near Augusta and simply took a story form the local newspaper and fabricated spin for his own agenda driven hit piece. You of course can do that, convict the officers. Wait, you have already done that. You are complete biased idiot. There has never been an ounce of objectivity in your mind….and there never will be. Pathetic …

I think these stories are very incomplete on this particular dog shooting.

More heat than light.

I agree....there is no way to decide right or wrong from this article.

I feel that I established that the author has an agenda.

I found another article that seems to be the original source of this article (and some other clickbaity cop-hater stories on other sites).

DailyHaze: Augusta Kansas Police shoot and kill Veteran’s service dog “Midnite” then issue him two citations

They include photos of the broken door and the dead dog outside.

Interesting to see more details here that fill out the picture. Without such detailed reporting, we all just fill in details and make assumptions on our own.



More stories from the same source:

City of Augusta, Kansas threatens arrest for anybody attending a vigil for a veteran’s service dog shot by an Augusta police officer

Augusta Police exonerate officer who killed a veteran’s service dog

On the first source, now that is the way the story should be reported. It objectively gives a narrative for both sides without any editorial comment like we find on the ad-driven yellow journalism sites.
