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.

Border collies are the smartest. Mine had some of that in her. She was a mutt, like me. Healthiest and and most loyal. I'm not going to bad mouth dog owners, but those high pedigree types are not for me.
Rescue one out of the shelter, and save a life. You will not regret it. Most of the shelters are online, and you can see photo's & other info on the dogs they have. Do a google search, your local shelter probably is on line. Good luck Fred!

Pits are bred to toggle into insane rage and kill unpredictively. People around here get them to contribute to their macho image. I don't like the breed. Surprisingly enough I find wolves to be affectionate and stable souls. They get a bad rap because of the way they need to make a living in the wild. People get wolves or wolf hybrids around here to bolster their pretense of being tough characters.
Amen to that!
The dog pounds have an abundence of lonely souls just hoping to find a friend.
You want to blame someone blame the idiot owner! Your comments here really set the stage, and explains your whole position. They really struck me as odd since I read them earlier today. For me, this video is hard to watch. I have dogs. It's obvious you do not own a dog, at least not one you are fond of. To you they are just animals. One of my dogs likes to sleep in my lap just about all the time. It's a poodle we rescued off the street, with grossly overgrown hair and a piece of barbed wire stuck in her fur. She was quite fearful of us when on the street but still hung out enough for us to catch her and have a local vet clean her up. Perhaps the trauma from a life as a stray is why she likes to sleep in my lap all the time. A bit of PTSD, or whatever it is, in dog terms. You are wrong, Justified. There are dogs worth more than drops of innocent blood. Your statement there is patently false. I'd give drops of my blood if it would bring the dog in the video back to life, and I know I'm not the only one. Of course you wouldn't give anything at all, because you don't like dogs, and maybe even hate them, and that's fine. At least fine for me. It's your loss, really, or maybe you just don't lack companionship. If so, great. But don't tell others what their values should be, or how they are to regard their pets. That is not your place at all. As for "idiot owners", being idiots for letting their dog escape when the door was knocked on, that is simply what happens sometimes with dogs. They get out. Babies poop their pants, and dogs sometimes escape. That's just the way life is. All dog owners know this. Having a 100% clean track record on keeping dogs captive is simply not reality. In the case of the video, the dog was killed while on the owner's property, simply because a wussy cop did not have the fortitude that UPS drivers, Pizza delivery guys, mailmen and plumbers apparently do have. Only a cop would pull out a deadly weapon and slay a homeowner's pet. Anyone else would deal with it some other non fatal way. Was the cop really in a life threatening situation? If the dog had his shots, then there was no serious risk at all to the cop. But no, the risk of a scratch or a minor bite, assuming that was even a real risk which it probably wasn't, was just too much for this cop to bear. Why, because the moment he drew his weapon, he proved he was a wus. These owners may never forgive this cop for what he did, and certainly they will hold animosity against all cops because of the actions of this one. You can say it was the home owners fault, but at the end of the day, one family and probably more in that community, will despise cops all the more because of this cowardly incident, and that is bad for the cops.
Very well stated Robert, very well stated !! Very spot on. Take note Fred. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
Bravo, nicely stated.
I watched the video. Then I had my wife watch it to get her opinion. We think the officer was justified in this case. The dog attacked right away without warning. It is lawful for any person to kill a dog when attacked. It is still sad that the people lost their pet. Someone had to open the door it didn't open itself.
I got bit by a dog earlier this year looking at a job. Just a little dog but it drew blood. I would have liked to kick the shit out of the dog. Also one of your points was that if the dog had its shots everything should be ok. Well how does the officer know if it had its shots. He is just charged without warning and takes action.
Lame comment from a lamebrain. A friend of mine had marital problems and fights with his spouse. Deputy sheriff visits his apt/home to issue a protective order of some sort. Friend doesn't answer door, end of case.
More evidence that you're a bad person. Dogs can tell.
No they can't tell Fred. But they are smarter then you are.
Who was the person who opened the door and let the dog run out first?
Than, you idjit.
According to the article, the door was opened "slightly". My definition of "slightly" is not, "wide enough to let a 40-pound dog through".
If that's the logic, how does the family know this cop isn't there to gun them all down? They don't, so they should shoot the officer immediately, because they just don't know. He has a gun, and he's on the front step. Just assume everyone at all times is the worst criminal possible and take appropriate action, because you just never know, and then you'll be exonerated because you had a legit fear for your life. And for the cop, the family might not have complied with ordinance related to their dog's shots. So shoot the dog... just in case. Everyone should just shoot everyone first, because no one knows for a fact what the intentions of the other person is. Always assume criminal intent. Why isn't that your philosophy?
The owner who was expecting a friend show up, for whom the dog was familiar with and well liked? Without audio, there's no evidence of an attack. It could have been a friendly greeting. The dog's tail was wagging even after getting shot, which is NOT something dogs do when attacking. Local cops are supposed to be a bit familiar with the people and families in the areas they patrol. They would know who has dogs and even what the dog's names are. At least they used to be in the old days. These days, cops don't know squat about the people in the areas they patrol. They are not there to "server and protect". Just coldly patrol, not serving, but rather watching and waiting for any of the people they "serve" to make a mistake.
Bingo.... I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You and a few others here are dribble. I like dogs. I have owned a few. I have owned a few animals. Yes I did love my animals. But in the end I am sane enough to realize that they are animals not humans. You should never mistreat an animal. This video is a clear cut case of self defense. The fact that you and only a few others can not see this tells me you are mentally twisted about dogs. You would have an innocent person hurt to keep a dog from being hurt even though the dog is clearly the aggressor. Yes the more I have to defend myself because stupid dog owners[good owners take care so their dog doesn't harm others] the more I come to dislike aggressive breeds of dogs such as pits and rots. You are wrong, Justified. There are dogs worth more than drops of innocent blood. No im right. Ask a parent if its okay that a dog harms their kid even a little. When they punch you in the eye you will have the truth. It seems to me and probably the sane world that you guys have issues with humans? These owners may never forgive this cop Why? It was their own damn fault the dog attack the cop who did not provoke the dog or the owner. Twisted little minds! This guy[who cares that it was an officer it could have been a little child instead] had no other alternative but to kill the dog or what im sure your twisted little mind thinks is better get bit up. I bet this makes you happy execpt for the part where the dogs were put to death. 5-Year-Old Boy Days Away From Sixth Birthday Mauled to Death By Two Dogs While at Friend's House
Exactly.... and don't be surprised by the PETA posters. It's a libtard AGENDA to equate humans with animals... and we have a shit-ton of libtards posting here. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I believe they are people who can't relate to other people and bond with animals in an unholy way. Make them their child. Extremism is bad no matter which side of the fence you are on or subject.
You are probably right. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Tard.
ROTFLOL! I don't see anyone from PETA jumping on the bandwagon to condemn the epidemic of cowardly cops shooting and killing dogs and other family pets. Now Why Would Cops Need to Kill a Pet Parakeet? Looks like what you are saying is that cruelty to animals by badged thugs (or anyone for that matter) is a "conservative" position. One of the more idiotic things I've seen you post. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much The dog came out of the doorway and charged the cop. The cop reacted to the dog charging at him. There was no time to evaluate whether dog was going to attack or greet. Fault does not lie with the cop or the dog. Fault lies with the owner for neither training the dog to behave better nor restraining the dog before opening the door.
You continue to be an A+ a-hole with a pussy. Need a tampon?
It is a clear cut case of self defense. Feel sorry for the dog. Don't blame the person defending themselves just because you like dogs more than people. Calling people names just because you are wrong just shows your character.
Retard, coke head, dog hater, redneck, white trash. Did you see that poor dog's tail wagging while he was dying? I'll add heartless to the list.
It was a nerve response from being shot. Did you see the dog charge the guy in an aggressive manner? All people that are objective did! I don't hate good dogs shit for brains. Not that you would listen to anything but what you want. Facts are just sand blocking your hidden desires of human hate.
Go suck an egg, ratboy.
The dog came out of the doorway and charged the cop. The cop reacted Nolu, I do respect your ability to research law and such. But there are times when a higher moral calling trumps legal considerations, and at those times, the RIGHT thing to do also happens to be the illegal thing to do. A time when you say "Screw the law, I'm doing this" or not doing that. Whatever. Or in this case, a time when, just because someone may be justified in harming or killing another, they chose instead to spare a life. This cop did not need to kill this dog. That he did so was very unfortunate, and was bad for him, worse for the family and the dog, and not good for the community and other cops who should be relying on good community relations.
Why? You need help with this? There's a saying in retail biz. The customer is always right. If they don't want to forgive, they won't, and they will just get used to hating cops, which is bad for cops. And the same goes for family and friends. And that's even worse for cops.
The crux of this argument center around the word "charged" with carries with it a powerful emotional context of hostile aggressiveness. The hostile act was never conclusively acted out but was primarily in the imagination of the people asserting dramatic justification for a necessary defensive act.
Lets clear up the bs here. I have watch this video probably a couple of dozen times if not more trying to figure out what happen and why. The The door opens at 25 seconds into the video 1) The person politely and gently knocks on the door and steps back.(17sec in) 2) The door starts to open with the guy nearly 3ft back from the door.(25sec in) 3) The dog is notice by the office which he then puts his hands on is side arm.(26sec in) 4) The dog attacks with NO TAIL WAGING. The dogs butt is low and the dog is charging the guy who pulls his weapon and starts to retreats.(27sec in) 5) The guy retreats about 4-5ft when he shoots the dog point blank in the head. 6) The dog falls literally on the mans left foot.(28sec in) 7) The dog head lies about 9ft out from the door. 8) At the 28sec frame you can see her hand outside the door where she lost control of the dog. The more I watch it the more you realize this guy only had 2 seconds before being bit by the dog. Thats 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi. Conclusion. She opened the door with a vicious dog that she could not control and lost control with the dog as it pushed open the door and charge the guy who by a miracle did not get bit. The owner is at fault. No if ands or buts!
Even when they rob them? Anyone that actually looks at the video who doesn't hate cops for just being alive or have an abnormal love of animals and hate for humans will conclude that it was the owners fault.
That condlusion isn't necessarily true. The dog could have just jumped up on the officer and started licking him. The dog wasn't necessarily vicious. But the officer wasn't sure what the dog was going to do. So he killed the dog. Like others have pointed out. Other people have dogs run at them or jump up on them. They aren't armed. I'd say the majority of the time the dogs don't bite the person. Still I can't fault the officer in this instance. If it was me I might have let the dog bight me or attack me before killing it. But i'm not an officer who carries a gun around all day. I'm sure it is an officers duty not to get incapacitated. Also being an officer and having law the police on your side. I'm sure it makes you have a lower standard to pull the trigger then an ordinary citizen. In this instance or any. I mean they are the "law". Still in this case the officer was justified imo.
Actually the dog was in fight mode. You can see in the video where I have pointed out the dogs stance. This dog was going to hurt him and maybe maim him for life. I have been bit so many times I will not hesitate if I feel the dog is going to attack. Now if its a small dog or a dog who can't really harm me I would just kick him or smack him. But a pit/rot mix is no dog to mess with. All I can think about is what if this had been some child knocking on the door? It would be another mauling if not murder by viscous dog. People have to take responsibility for their animals actions. Because people are so afraid they will get sued because of their animal they will not tag them or register them so they can claim its not their dog.

These are the number one and two dogs of attack. In fact pits/pit mix account for nearly 80% of all maulings/murders. Prior to 2000 I only saw pits in really poor black and hispanic neighborhoods where they raise them to fight. Its so bad that cities have banned vicious dogs and holding owners responsible for their dogs actions.
