Breed: Unknown, large dog

Two officers were investigating an assault when a neighbor’s large dog approached them, apparently showing its pearly whites and asking them to leave, please, with growls.

The officers yelled at the owner of the dog to contain him but the owner was apparently too busy being an asshole to comply.

So instead the poor dog was shot when he charged. The officers helped get the dog to a vet but the dog was not salvageable and later died.

The gun was fired in the direction of exposed bystanders.

Asheville Campus Police Acts a Hero, Shoots a Dog in the Face

April, 2011 - Asheville, North Carolina

A dog described as a Pit Bull (ZOMG! RUN FOR THE HILLS) jumped out of the back of a truck where he was just chilling. Yo, dog guardian, don't be a jack ass and leave your dog untethered and unattended in the back of your truck. Problem solved.

But instead problem emerged. The dog chased some people and eventually did bite one person in the hand.

In an act of BRAVERY so amazing, an award will be made in his honor, a campus security police officer lured the dog away undoubtedly by waving his arm in front of the dog as bait! When the dog meandered over, the officer had to defend himself from the walking brute by shooting the dog right in the face!

The dog will live, because he is a Pit Bull and as all creepy anti-pit bull zealots tell us, they are a speshul breed!

Toledo Police Kill Dog Because Kids Won't Listen

April, 2011 - Toledo, Ohio

A dog of unknown parentage gets loose and is totes chasing people. This is so freaking epic that police are called to enforce the rule of law - dogs don't run loose, and they certainly don't get away with chasing people!

The police arrive and notice the dog chasing kids. This dog is so dangerous that some of those kids broke a sweat or maybe scuffed a knee or something. In an attempt at fighting the stupid with logic, police tell the parents to get their kids inside. But the parents or kids don't listen and instead of moving the children themselves, police take it upon themselves to just go ahead and execute the dog.

The dog was a 4-yr-old Labrador Retriever Chow mix whose only vice was apparently barking at people.
