A cowardly cop put another family pet to death on October 20, leaving a mother and her children grief-stricken.
As surveillance video shows, a Florida City police officer knocks on the front door of the unfortunate family. He was going to inform them that they left a car door open.
The daughter opens the door slightly and their dog, named Duchess, was able to get out first. The cop reaches for his gun as the 40-pound dog emerges and fires three rounds into its head without hesitation.
"She was curious. She wasn't barking (and) she wasn't growling. There was no reason for him to think she was aggressive in any way," said the mother, Gillian Palacios.
The daughter comes out immediately after, and could only stand paralyzed in horror at the scene of murder. Duchess is lying on the sidewalk, still alive but fatally wounded, and the repugnant cop is out of the camera's view.
Palacios is yelling at the cop while her daughter cradles the dying dog in her hands. Duchess can be seen wagging her tail, perhaps finding some comfort in her owner's embrace.
The cop said "your dog charged me" and promptly left the scene, telling them Animal Services would pick up the dog later.
In his report, the cop will surely say that he "feared for his life" from the 40-pound animal. One wonders if he felt any remorse at all for his brutal actions. Instead of hesitating a bit and realizing the dog meant no harm, he put a family in shock and grief.
The department has put their officer on paid administrative leave while they investigate that matter, "gathering all the facts at the time."
The Palacios family rescues dogs and finds homes for them, but decided to keep Duchess. A friend of the family said she was one of the sweetest dogs she has ever met.
Guy walked up to the door. Knocked. You can tell by his reaction before the door was even opened that he heard the dog. The door opens and the dog attacks him while he back pedels. He kills the dog in pure defense of his body.
Maybe you guys should actual watch the video before downing Deckard propaganda!
If it had been a child we would be talking about a mauling instead or a dead kid.
So - not only do you advocate cops shooting playful dogs, you also belieive that the cop would have been right to shoot a child running out the door too?
You're such a turd. I don't treat cops any different than anyone else. I remove the person from the situation and place myself in and see what I would do.
If anyone here has a major issue about cops its you. You hate all cops good or bad. The word cop sends you into frenzy of hate.
I watched the video and saw a dog run out of the house and then was shot by a diaper-wetting cop who will now claim he "feared for his life".
Why is it that mailmen, pizza delivery guys, meter readers and others who interact with dogs on a daily basis are able to deal with family pets without killing them?

I worked for years for the Telephone Company, was in & out of many yards, and encountered many, many dogs. Never ever was bit. Plenty licked my hand, and I petted many, but never, ever was bitten, and never even thought I would be bit. I encountered many different types of dogs, small dogs, German Shepherds, Rotweilers, D Pincers, retrievers, hunting dogs, mutts, etc. Cops like the guy in the OP are either just looking for a reason to "kill something" to prove how "bad" they are, or they are just so wussified they should not be in that job.
I'm with Fred, come onto my property, and harm one of mine, you will be carried out.
I have to call bs bs. I have been bitten more times than I can count. Last time the owner swore up and down that the dog would not bite. Well it bit me. Now I demand they put the dog or dogs(more than a couple of animals means you have mental issues) up in a secure location until im done with what needs to be done.
I have even had a owner stand there while we were talking and the dog was chewing up my pants! I had to start laughing because it never phase the owner that the dog was tearing up my pants!
