It's just the dog of a homeless person. Probably deserved to get killed. Thank God NYPD is protecting America. I guess they thought macing it would calm it down.
Everyone around was like: Put the dog out of its misery. The cops left this dog wiggling and flaying, blood coming out of its mouth. They shot it in front of a public bus.
Link?
It was just barking at people.If the dog was flaying people it probably deserved it tbh.
I thought NYPD changed their policy on shooting dogs back in the 90's because they were hitting so many bystanders by accident.
Why waste the chance to use a gun to take life from something?
Cops are paid to protect people, not viscous street dogs.
Good job NYPD. :thumbsup:
Ironic you say that. The pepper spray I carry in my purse explicitly says it's only for animals.It was just barking at people.
Also, who tries to mace a dog? Call animal control or something.
I feel bad for the homeless guy, can it get any worse? The only thing that he had left was that dog.
The dog bit somebody and was threatening the police officer. Get a life.
We see this dog outside of KFC every day. It’s usually a nice dog. [The dog and its owner] don’t bother anyone. Everyone in this restaurant [Baohaus] knows this. If it was a cop from the neighborhood, they would know that guy. He’s there every day.
Nowhere does it say that the dog bit anyone.
I had just crossed the street and was a witness to what happened. I did not see any mace or any other spray being used on this dog, though that may have happened earlier. I saw an elderly woman approach the dog, and heard police requesting that she keep her distance. She continued, and the dog approached her and bit her leg. I do not think that it was being hostile, but it was clearly biting her. She reacted to being bit, and the police shouted at her to move away. This is when the dog turned to the police and approached them. I can't really blame the dog, because it's a dog and it has no clue what was going to happen, At the same time, I didn't see any mace being sprayed, and I found it difficult to view this as an abuse of power when I saw it. I was very upset, and really I feel that this woman was to blame. It made no sense to approach this dog, because it was barking at people, and the cops were yelling at her to keep her distance. Within 20 seconds of the shot being fired, I heard additional sirens, so maybe animal control was on the way or something, I didn't stick around. It just makes me feel sick that this whole thing could have been avoided if the dog was given more space.
Comment from the link-
Another one of our employees was 10 feet away from it, and he said what happened was: The cops tried to mace the dog, when they tried to mace it, the dog lunged at [the cop]. And this is the same homeless guy we see outside of KFC every day. He never bothers anybody. Today, the guy was passed out. Other people were saying he ODd or whatever, but he was alive, he was just in a hole [passed out].
