He was lucky he did not get shot. Such are the ways of our finest nowadays.wtf?
so wrong on so many levels..
people can call the cops on a person walking on the street???? for a unarmed older guy at daylight on public space?? and cops have a "right" to stop you and ask you whatever the fuck they want just because you are walking on the street?...
and then, to tackle you into a wheelchair, just because.... even if you pose no threat and are not-violent and get away with it???
guy didnt speak english.... what if you are blind/deaf? or retarded?
Kinsey said when he asked the officer why he fired his weapon, the cop responded, “I don’t know.”

The cop was actually trying to kill the autistic man holding the toy truck in order to prevent him from killing his caretaker with the toy truck.
At the time, the cop was still under the impression that the toy truck was a gun, so he wasn’t taking any chances.
This despite the fact that caretaker Charles Kinsey had repeatedly told officers that it was a toy truck.
“The movement of the white individual looked like he was getting ready to discharge a firearm into Mr. Kinsey,” said Miami-Dade police union boss John Rivera in a press conference today, attended by WSVN.
And the officer discharged trying to strike and stop the white male and unfortunately, he missed.”
Rivera went on to slam the media for reporting on this story.
Rudy Giuliani said:“There was not a uniformed police officer allowed on the convention floor. I was told that by four high-ranking Philadelphia police officers, two of whom I’ve known for a very long time,” he continued. “And then I walked the floor two nights — couldn’t find a single uniformed police officer. Go look at your footage: You find me a uniform. Hillary Clinton didn’t want uniformed police officers on the convention floor.”
http://krqe.com/2016/07/28/court-upholds-arrest-of-albuquerque-student-for-burping/ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A federal appeals court upheld the arrest of an Albuquerque student for burping in class on purpose.
The incident happened in May 2010 when the 13-year-old belched repeatedly during P.E. class.
The teacher made him sit in the hall, but he kept burping and laughing, prompting the teacher to call out the school resource officer.
The boy was eventually handcuffed and taken to juvenile jail.
Really? That's just ridiculous.
I think I saw Manimal!
Dafuq man. If you're that scared, get back in the car and wait for animal control.
Did you miss the part where its an 8yo labrador?If something comes at you with big teeth acting like it's going to take a bite out of you, you react. I have no problem with them doing this to an aggressive capable breed that presents a hazard. If the person can control their animal, it probably wouldn't happen. I doubt they would shoot a dog just out of spite, but when things happen fast, they are going to protect themselves.
And the of course the dog owner is going to say "but that's the first time he's ever barked/bitten/charged", etc.
Hella skeptical. People's connection to their animals is sometimes so strong that they stop perceiving reality correctly.
So at least a medium sized to larger dog and you are telling me that they should risk rabies or an infection?Did you miss the part where its an 8yo labrador?
I think it absolutely can, all it takes is the attitude, it's got the teeth to make it happen. All dogs can be protective and go into that "mode", while they may not understand that their perceived attacker is not trying to attack them.Im not saying that could never happen. But people also happen to be sick of trigger happy cops.
Defending either side of the argument is pretty silly cause we both werent there obviously.
But you said "agressive capable breed" and i dont think a labrador fits the description really.
Not trying to defend the cop here, but I've got a Lab/Golden Retriever mix with some real stranger danger/aggression issues. If a cop shot Denver, as upset as I'd be, not real sure I could blame the officer. Now that being said, he's also not a "therapy dog" (see mandowns thread about dogs). I would presume that anyone claiming as such, would have a more mildly tempered dog.But you said "agressive capable breed" and i dont think a labrador fits the description really.
Deliverymen don't have the same obligation to respond to people and situations. They can drop-kick your package over the fence.If deliverymen that work for USPS/UPS/FedEx/DHL can figure out a way to do their jobs without shooting dogs, why can't cops? They're faced with aggressive dogs far more often on a daily basis than police officers.
The average animal control officer isn't equipped with firearms and they also get along just fine without shooting dangerous animals. They might have pepper spray or blunt weapons but that's about it.Deliverymen don't have the same obligation to respond to people and situations. They can drop-kick your package over the fence.
Why would that be odd?It's odd how discussions of dogs and their owners get people all riled up and argumentative.
