I had a very rewarding saturday at work. 12 yr old kid had his bike stolen while he was at football practice. another football player saw a kid around the bike earlier and told me who he thought it was. well sure enough, went to the dude's house and there was the stolen bmx. talked to the thief (16 yr old frequent flyer who happened to have an outstanding warrant), arrested him for the outstanding warrant and charged him with larceny of a bicycle.

i dedicated that arrest to all the riders who've had a bike stolen, myself include.


side note: I also had to shoot a 120lb rottweiler that bit 2 people the day before and then managed to get out of his pen before animal control could pick him up for rabies testing. he charged me when i pulled up so i had to put him down. took 3 body shots and a head shot to get the monster dog to stop charging at me......he was pretty pissed off. unfortunately, we'll never know if he rabies or not....kind of hard to test for it with a close range .40 caliber head shot.

i got hagged about spending so much time on something petty like a stolen wal-mart bike.....but they either never had a bike stolen or don't understand the bond that develops between a bike and it's owner. the look on that kids face was well worth the "petty" time i spent looking for it.

Good job.

 

[BigHit-Maniac]

Manimal ... you are my hero.

I had a bike stolen a couple years back ... my first "real" BMX bike... someone swiped it right out of my garage when I ran inside for a drink ( I was 14 at the time).

God I wish I hadda' had someone like you at the time.

alll i got say
"thats nice work"
in cheif wiggum voice

there is a need for more cops like you

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

I need to stop reading your posts.... the more I read them the more I want to become a cop. Mainly to shoot stuff.

 

[DHracer1067]

shooting stuff is fun.

 

[Hooligan]

Join the military shoot lotsa stuff. You might even get to use really big guns

 

[Tully]

That has to be satisfying.

Getting the bike back, or shooting the dog four times?

 

[Mustang85]

Getting the bike back, or shooting the dog four times?

I'd have to say both :evil:

 

[urbanhuckbot]

if this was cnn, they would call that rottweiler a pitbull, and, if i ever caught a bike theif, he would be in the hospital, so its better that the cops find him first.

 

[McGRP01]

I wonder how many replies this thread would get if it was titled, "Shot a dog 4 times today".

 

[Repack]

shooting stuff is fun.

Before heading off to Phish in Coventry I got to sit on my buddies front porch, in a rocking chair, with a beer and a .22 rifle, and shot beer cans. I had one pocket full of bullets, and the other full of spent cartridges. Then I got to slop the hogs. Being a Weekend Redneck is the balls!

 

[reflux]

I'm sorry to hear you had to shoot the dog. I don't care how angry an animal may be, it's still gotta hurt knowing that it's just a dog. That said though, better him than you.

 

[Skookum]

I arrested him for the outstanding warrant and charged him with larceny of a bicycle.

About time you earned your pay.
Oh and are you sure that poor doggie wasn't just trying to play fetch or somethin?

 

[SebringMGB]

The dog incident wasnt quite as he depicted, i was there with a video camera

I would have sot the thief instead.

Poor doggy...

haha...its sad though, i know you were doing your job and all, but why would people keep a dog like that?! i bet the owners wernt happy about it...they want to call your commanding officer?

 

[ioscope]

My bike was stolen once, that was a few years ago 7-speeds were uber-pimp.

 

[manimal]

haha...its sad though, i know you were doing your job and all, but why would people keep a dog like that?! i bet the owners wernt happy about it...they want to call your commanding officer?

that is usually the case, the owner gets pissed....but i was actually on the phone with the owner and he told me to shoot it. said, "that dog just can't be out biting my neighbors.".

as i told my partner....i'd rather shoot a POS drug dealing,baby-momma beating, fighting the po-po thug than a dog, although the legalities that come along with shooting a thug are too much to think about.

and yes, i had considered titling this thread, "shot a dog 4 times today" but i figured that would get to be a bit inflamatory heck, if i wanted to start a real war i'd just make up something like; "Today i arrested a homosexual midget at a peace rally for being short and badmouthing the president" :evil:

 

[DVNT]

too bad you couldn't throw the dog in the back of the squad car with that punk b!tch teenager for a few minutes.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Hey, if I had a gun in my hand and a 120lb rottweiler was charging at me, you can bet your ass I'd shoot the dog. I'd rather deal with those consequences than having a hole chewed in my throat.

But of course a bullet should have been saved for the bike theif.

first it's a wallmart bike, then it's a cannondale, then it's a Yeti. Nice job man!

 

[JRB]

Good jorb Manimal.

 

[stosh]

You shot Kujo!!

 

[llkoolkeg]

So...did the bike thief resist arrest at all...or at least enough to require the swift application of some tonfa submission blows?

As far as the charging, neighbor-biting dog, good riddance. Sadly, the ownership lottery went bad for him but biting people other than their negligent owner crosses the line. There are just far too many dangerous dogs running around. I have seen enough in my rural town that I won't let my daughter play in our fenced backyard w/o close adult supervision. Even the family pet can turn cujo if poorly trained or treated and provoked at an inopportune time. There was a terribly disfigured(but otherwise beautiful) toddler at the pediatrician's office the last time I was there with my older daughter and I overheard her mother tell the receptionist what happened- the family dog, a "gentle rot", bit off the little girl's lower lip and ripped up her chin after the child, while emulating the dog on all fours, put her face too near the food bowl during the dog's dinnertime. There's a lot of pain in life awaiting that poor child now, unfortunately.

He shot an IRC 2.65? Why?

Don't make me load up the Glock w/bullits and come find you! You're lucky the shox are bad on my car or I'd already be on my way...

 

[RhinofromWA]

Ever notice it used to be you didn't see many "bad" dogs around........

My father said when he grew up on the farm you didn't have bad dogs. They never lasted, because they only got one chance. No room in this world for bad dogs.

Good show on the doggy slaying. The fact the owner said shoot it probably made it a slam dunk.

With my luck I would miss the dog and put a couple holes in the squad car if I was in your shoes.

Side note: I shot a AK-47 this weekend. Never shot a rifle like that before. It was kinda fun. I don't have much of a need for it but the guy offered me a try. Shot 10 rounds and had my curiousity quenched. I was pretty accurate after the first 4 rounds. I didn't know what to expect from the gun so I was kind of sheepish. Buy the end I was right in there plugging away.
