“Dog Shooting: I am calling regarding an incident that happened over the weekend, a dog
shooting at a police call for disturbing the peace. This matter was brought to my attention from
some friends of my son who were at the party, and the owner, David Hinkley, is a person known
to me. I’ve listened to the news reports and I’ve tried to make sure that I’m making an objective
decision based on what I’ve heard from these kids and also from the news reports.”

Sounds pretty objective. You’ve obviously taken the extra precaution to speak with your son’s friends who were most likely intoxicated at this disorderly party. Kudos on also reviewing news reports, I hear that they are always pretty much spot on for detail.

I commend you for your obviously unbiased and impartial reaction to this incident. You have certainly gathered all the facts so that you undoubtedly place blame and properly throw stones blindly at those that have done wrong.

Have you considered running for local magistrate?

The two cops were at the house on a disturbing the peace complaint where the caller said he saw dogfighting.

The dog ran out an open door, straight at the officers. The guy barely had the time to stumble backward and shoot. Thank heaven he didn’t miss.

Police officers get to deal with meth heads, wife beaters, child abusers and every loser that gets upset for getting pulled over when they were breaking the law. The last thing they should have to worry about is some crazed dog that the owner didn’t have the good sense to restrain.

Discipline? That cop deserves a medal. The safety and well-being of our police officers is far more important than some idiot’s dog.
