Multiple neighbors claim to have seen Keith open the glass door and enter the house. Witnesses claim he was then seen kicking and struggling with the dog.

Yet the bottom of the glass storm door is broken open where the dog crashed through.

So, Keith went into the house, shot the dog and threw the dog out of the house through the bottom of the storm door?

Give me a break.

That’s make no sense….someone is lying.

In the article, Brewer continues to push the story that Midnite came “blasting up” and hit the glass door. Midnite charged the door a second time, which broke the latch loose.

The picture shows the bottom of the glass strom door and screen broken through. If the dog did not come “blasting up” through the door….then what, or who, did? One or both of the officers.

Get real …

Brewer’s version makes sense …

Of course they did. He used the magic words "I feared for my life".

That is a lie!

He used the magic words, "I feared for my partner's life."

You recall the other guy, the animal control henchman who almost fell off the porch, forcing him to shoot the dog.

Query: How could the multiple neighbors see Keith kicking the dog inside the house?

Well, it was a trailer park apparently. So at least one neighbor would have had a living room or kitchen window right next to the porch and less than 20' away. At least, that would be typical.

However, given how these trailer parks are laid out, any other nearby residents would have been 50'-75' away and looking at a poor angle at the porch and probably couldn't see inside the house since it was daylight outside and the inside of the house was dark. This is all consistent with the photos we've seen.

It looks like they have left a blank trailer lot between the two trailers and they're planting some tree or bush there.

So any neighbor who is a witness would be 50' away or so.

The City of Augusta was said to have stated they would not issue a permit for Midnite’s vigil. This alone is a problem. The Supreme Court has made it very clear that Government officials cannot prohibit a public assembly in their own discretion.

Suppose the dog owner had shot the cop.

You think the city would have insisted that any candle vigils would have to have a permit or they would get ticketed?

I don't.

Seems kinda chickenshit to pull that permit business. Obviously, the city didn't want to get any more heat for this doggie shooting.

Midnite was a 4-year-old 85 lbs. German Shepherd. Surely the glass door that he was “blasting up” against would have suffered some damage from Midnite charging so hard it resulted in “breaking the latch loose.”

Your pictures are either taken before the shooting or after the shooting, when the porch was cleaned up and the door fully repaired.

Here is a picture of the dead dog with blood all over the porch.

Here is a picture of the storm door bottom with the glass and screen broken through.

Someone in your pictures did a clean up, repair and cover up to hide the evidence.

Or someone in my pictures replaced the good door with a broken bottom bad door and planted a dead dog with blood all over the porch.

Which do you logically think it is?

The City of Augusta was said to have stated they would not issue a permit for Midnite’s vigil. This alone is a problem. The Supreme Court has made it very clear that Government officials cannot prohibit a public assembly in their own discretion.

Yep, and the SCOTUS did not say that the City of Augusta could not pass an ordinance to require a permit for a public demonstration to assemble.

Check it out….numerous cities have an ordinance requiring a permit and it has never been challenged in the SCOTUS.

Another futile effort at spinning on your part….give it up.

Seems kinda chickenshit to pull that permit business.

The permit is for the protection of the city against lawsuits.

Of course, anyone can sue the city regardless as to a permit consideration.

But at least the city is partially covering its ass.

You think the city would have insisted that any candle vigils would have to have a permit or they would get ticketed?

I don't.

I do.

In the pix you posted, I see the neighboring trailer with a window whose blind was drawn.

It looks like they have left a blank trailer lot between the two trailers and they're planting some tree or bush there.

So any neighbor who is a witness would be 50' away or so.

"Multiple neighbors"..."multiple neighbors"....

After busting through the glass door Midnite allegedly charged at the animal control officer, causing him to fall backward on the porch and hit his head. Amazingly, the officer managed to shoot Midnite as he was “flying through the air” towards the animal control officer.

Bullshit….nothing amazing about that at all.

The pictures give an idea of the porch’s size and how hard it would be to fall backward on it

The article I read said he fell backwards “off of the porch”….meaning backwards down the steps.

Debunked again….give it up.

WhitePages.com: Alan Fitzgerald in Augusta KS

Google Maps: 1604 Cedar Ln, Augusta, KS

So you can go into the map and drag-drop the little yellow stick figure on the street where it is marked and see a Street View in all directions around this trailer house. I'll try to embed it below.

Google made a mistake with the street number and think it is 1585 Cedar Ln, not 1604 (Google is really bad at street numbers in trailer parks). But that covered porch with the red railings and the little shrub growing out front, it all looks consistent with the photos posted above.

So here is the embedded image of the place. Judge for yourself.

(Hit that little square icon at the upper-right to go full-screen and see the property in greater detail.)

One thing I noticed immediately was that Midnite would still be alive if his owner had loved his dog enough to build a small yard fence. His neighbors loved their dogs/kids enough to build fences for them.

When has a fence ever stopped a crazed cop from shooting a family pet?

Cops Show Up To Wrong House And Shoot Little Boy’s Dog

The town's chief of police, Ken Moore, says the shooting was justifiable. The dog, he claims, was showing signs of aggression and appeared to be a "dangerous" breed. A pit bull mix. (Pit bulls have a very undeserved reputation.)

"We have a right to defend ourselves so I stand by my officer in the decision that he made," Moore told News 9.

Never mind reports that the officer used a high-powered rifle he took out of his car to shoot the dog through a fence. Or that a computer glitch may have led officers to the wrong address.

We went to the Fitzgerald residence just hours after the shooting. Our entire time there, the front door was open and the glass door was closed, just as it was earlier in the afternoon. We entered and exited through the door with no problem what-so- ever. There was no apparent damage to the door, or the latch.

This one taken before the shooting or after the shoot when the door had been repaired….shows the storm door with the window and screen intact.

This one taken when the do way laying dead on the porch with blood everywhere shows the bottom window and screen broken trhough.

Either someone’s lying or the pictures are lying….which do you think?

Well, at least there is some misreporting. Maybe to help gin up a clickbait headline on a cop-hater site.

You've probably noticed that "Beware Of The Dog" sign that I mentioned on the door by now. If Midnite was such a well-trained and non-aggressive dog, why did he post that sticker?

You're trying to conflate those other incidents with this one. It doesn't work.

Countless times….when a family pet pit bull was completely docile and not attacking a cop.

But, of course….The Free Through Project never reports that….does it?

Your contention that a fence would have saved Midnite was a supposition on your part.

I merely pointed out your misconception.

He does that all the time.

His next post will probably contain 5 links on an unrelated topic.

That’s always an indication that he has given up trying to prove any point he though he may have had.

I'm not sure that merely trying to change the subject is tantamount to an admission but you have to keep it in mind.

Posting another half-dozen anti-cop/anti-gooberment articles in the sidebar might be a way to try to change the subject but I can't say that is the only reason to post so many at once.

And you tried to divert away from the primary conversation by adding:

Both of which are off topic …

Stop lying….it’s getting old stuff.

I've made my point - this cop (as well as most others who shoot family pets) are cowards.

Both of which are off topic …

Sod off tosser.

I responded to Tc's claim that Midnite would be alive if he had been fenced in.

History has proven that cops will kill family pets even when they are fenced in.

I've made my point - this cop (as well as most others who shoot family pets) are cowards.

You have made no point….you have made a complete idiot of yourself.

That's another lie....history has not proven that.

So sayeth LF's village idiot.

I made my point - you are just too much of a simpleton to understand it.

I gave four examples you reprehensible assclown.

One can only hope that if you have a dog, you suffer the same sad fate as this Veteran.

That’s a very uncivil and inconsiderate wish to make on someone.

But since when have you ever been civil and considerate.

Your remark reflects poorly on your upbringing …

Not at all - It would be ironic if you suffered at the hands of the Amerikan police state, the one that you so slavishly worship.

Why don't you reflect on your own multitude of faults before presuming to lecture someone else?

Here are a couple of your friendly family pets in action …

The dogs in your videos have nothing to do with this story.

Oh, and while you're at it - sod off.

In the bottom pic the lower sliding glass window is raised all the way up, and the screen is partially punched out with the retaining bead hanging.

The cop went in and beat the dog with a baton and kicked it repeatedly and then shot it, so the dog punched through the screen to escape, and expired on the porch.

Most of the blood is in the top right, so someone may have moved the body to get the door to open further.

I might have to sleep on that decision.

" One can only hope that if you have a dog, you suffer the same sad fate as this Veteran. "

Deck, I would not wish that on the dog. He/she is suffering enough to live there. Wish it on him/her, not the dog.

I noticed too. Not sure how many conclusions we can draw.

Yeah but there is no mention or pix of blood inside the house. So I don't think so.

I do have to give you points for imagination.

KWCH12: Alan tells me the previous incident with Midnite - the dog bit his teenage nephew at El Dorado lake last summer, and the teen had to get stitches but was okay.

Hmm...that doesn't sound like a trained service animal to me.

It seems that "Beware Of The Dog" sign on the front door was there for a reason: a known aggressive biting dog was on the premises.

I notice the police chief said they couldn't find a record of any state certification of the dog as a service animal. So it isn't clear if this was a lawful service animal or if he just had some training but didn't get certified (because he was too busy biting kids and cops to finish getting certified).

Apparently, Kansas has a law against claiming a dog is a service dog unless the dog is fully certified. The chief says they're investigating and hasn't ruled out filing charges on the service dog certification issue.

Seemed a fitting background sound.

In the "interview", the guy sounds guilty. He didn't protect his dog and he didn't control his dog. I bet this dog has a lot more history than these articles are telling us.

At 1:02 Alan stated this dog darted out the door [to chase a rabbit or cat]….so the dog had charged through the door before.

In a newspaper report [and I can’t find where again] a police officer said they had trouble there (at Alan’s residence) before (did no say with the dog). as best as I remember.

This is obviously confirmed [that the police had been to the Firzgerald residence before] because at 5:07 Alan Fitzgerald said: There was a private call coming through on his phone. I knew it as them because they always call that way. I repeat, Alan said: I knew it as them because they always call that way. I wonder if the police “always call that way” because of a problem with the dog, a problem with Alan’s PTSD, or another problem with Alan or someone else at the residence. So, this would indicate that Alan and the police were no strangers to each other….that is an apparent conclusion.

At 3:43 Alan said he heard banging on his door and then he heard shots. I did not pause between those two statements. So, there is no way of know the time line between the knock and the shots. The way Alan told the story makes me question the neighbor’s eyewitness statement that the police officer opened the door and went in.

I bet this dog has a lot more history than these articles are telling us.

I just posted someting below to indicate that same thing.

Interesting....

It seems, by his own admission, he was no stranger to the police.

"I knew it was them, they always call that way."

"I knew it was them, they always call that way."

Exactly. Notice the mention of the chief when he said they sent a cop with an animal control officer because in one (or more) previous calls to that address, a lone animal control officer wasn't enough.

Maybe the animal control officer in this dinky burg knew this dog and had good cause to be afraid of him.

I notice the police chief said they couldn't find a record of any state certification of the dog as a service animal. So it isn't clear if this was a lawful service animal or if he just had some training but didn't get certified (because he was too busy biting kids and cops to finish getting certified).

I came to the conclusion some time ago, that people throw the term "service dog" around far too loosely.

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.

Hey, Deckard, listen to the video in the link, you will hear …

KWCH12: Alan tells me the previous incident with Midnite - the dog bit his teenage nephew at El Dorado lake last summer, and the teen had to get stitches but was okay.

Well, Bubba….that DEBUNKS the Hell out of your “service dog trained to be non-aggressive bullshit….doesn’t it?

You are so pathetic….always defending a lost cause, only because you hate the police so much that you can never be objective about anything involving them.

You also noticed that Alan said there was absolutely no problem with the neighbor lady and Midnite.

However, the Chief said they received a call about a German Sheppard running loose and Alan said 2 hours after he talked to the lady….the police was banging on his door.

Who else but the lady could have called? Maybe someone, but my guess would be that it was the lady and Alan was skipping some details about the incident of Midnight with her dog.

Who else but the lady could have called?

In fairness, every neighborhood does have at least one Gladys Kravitz snooping around, calling the cops out on their neighbors. The little dog owner may not have done anything.

After all, we know this dog did love to chase cats around in the neighborhood, according to his owner's confession on YouBoob. Maybe one of the cat owners called the cops out.
