Title: Cowardly Cop Knocks On Innocent Family's Door, Kills Their Dog and Then Walks Off

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.

The dog attacked right away without warning.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Talk about drama queen! The dog got what the dog got because of a stupid owner. The man defended himself properly. Getting bit by a vicious dog is not smart and is down right stupid. I see you are stupid and would rather get bit then defend yourself which is your right as an idiot.

You can whine and degrade others but in the end the truth is what it is!

Kicking the dog, tasing the dog, is fine. Those are non-lethal countermeasures (usually, at least, with tasers). At least give the owner a chance to order command the dog to back off which could take as little as a half second, before killing him. But no, this cop chose to use lethal countermeasures as a first resort. Not to mention the dangers shooting his gun may have posed to other people there, as happens sometimes.

So, I disagree, and I do fault the officer, *even* if he *was* technically in the right, which is uncertain.

If it was me I might have let the dog bight me or attack me before killing it.

All of us have dogs that act in a hostile manner toward us from time to time, and in virtually all cases, it's not a big deal, especially when the owner is present. And dogs do get though doors sometimes. Heck, in this case, the owner may have had no reason to think that it was a stranger knocking on the door. Might have expected a family friend that the dog normally happily greets. Even so, the dog was on his home turf at the time of the shooting. The cop was not. But dogs getting out on occasion is life, and if it meant that every dog that ever escaped even once should be killed, no one would ever be allowed to have a dog. If a cop can't handle the presence of a mildly hostile dog for 1.5 seconds without pulling out his gun, even assuming this dog was hostile, then he shouldn't be a cop.

Now there are cases where shooting dogs is justified and I'm fine with that, but I don't see that here.

Who gives a crap why he was there. As long as he was there in a legal manner. Anyone has a right to knock on the door. Are you just a freaking moron?

What if a kid got hurt in an accident and knocks on the door? Would that be okay to sick a dog on them? Maim/Kill them just because they knocked on your door?

Kicking the dog, tasing the dog, is fine.

Did he have a taser? If he had one could he draw it fast enough to since taser are secondary tools and not your primary deadly force tool. Basically guns are always primary just in case and taser is a control tool which is not in a primary or quick draw position.

He would have gotten bitten if he kicked the dog and the owner could not control the dog at the door while she had him by the collar what makes you think she could have controlled him while the dog was in attack mode?

This guy was justified and really had other other means but to put the dog down.

The problem hear is you think animals have more rights than people. Its your extreme nature that makes you a kook. The man did not attack the dog. It was the dog that attack the man. In every way you slice this situation dog died because of its nature and it was the responsibility of the owner to protect and she failed miserable. Put the blame where blame is warranted, with the owner!

You guys can try to twisted this all you want. The truth is what it is which is the guy(who gives a crap what he did for a living) was attack by a vicious dog and he defended himself with the only reasonable way he could.
