Dog dies due to cop
Click on the video link to see the clip. It’s recorded from the police officer’s car when he pulled the guy over. Link The jist of it, if you don’t have volume or generally don’t like videos, is that a guy was speeding to the vet to save his dog from choking. A cop pulled him over and, while the guy panicked and plead for help for 20 minutes, the dog died. Instead of helping, the cop detained him during this time and said, "It’s just a dumb dog, you can get another one." The dog was a puppy. And the cop is being sent to more classes on better dealing with emotional situations such as this. Most people say that the cop handled the situation very wrong and they demanded justice of some variety or another. Others are saying that the cop was just doing his job and that the people shouldn’t have been speeding in the first place. What are your views on the incident? |

another issue with cop killing a dog, is in bc, cops, raided a house they assumed was dealing drugs. the day they raided it, there were multiple cars parked in their parking lot and on the street. wen they raided the house, a rottwieler, came running at them, barking. he was shot and killed. after they killed the dog, the owners, and children came running back ino the house, to find their dog shot.the owners, were in the backyard, giving their kids a birthday party wen the raid started. it turned out all the people coming in and out of the house, was becuz of the childrens birthday party. |

Now the Officer that handled the guy DID follow protocol, and yes he was a bit of a jerk (they are in texas) He said that he would at least let the couple slide for evading..when you see lights and sirens the guy either should have pulleed over immediately or kept driving because he was already screwed at least if he continued to drive he could have made it to the vet even if the officer was ticked off... Now the guy was driving 100mph and weaving through traffic for those that dont know In Texas on the interstates its typically only 60-65 the guy commited a felony driving over 30mph (technically 20 over is felony) over the speed limit... he was on a cell phone which was irresponsible at a high rate of traffic either have it on speaker phone or hand the phone to your gf but high speed plus cell phone does NOT look promising. and had the cop not pulled them over and they wrecked he would have been held responsible for the accident..Peoples lives are more important then a dogs, had the guy been somewhat rational instead of jumping around screaming and spoke the cop wouldnt have assumed him on drugs and it would have gone a lot quicker, the cop did his job searched the vehicle verified the story and addressed the guy, he made sure they were unarmed and there were no drugs (which are run out of mexico and across the states as well as immigrants) he then got on his radio and informed dispatch about the incident that they were rushing their dog.... The Officer was following protocol, I would have handled it a bit different but with someone flipping out like that guy was doing he could have been a threat the Cop was securing the situation before he proceeded with the ticket...his ’manners’ sucked and I wouldnt have said "its just a dog" Im not that heartless but the cop had a point the guy shouldnt have been going 100mph for an 8mile trip....and IF the guy was on the phone with his vet at the time the vet could have instructed heimlich or CPR I Love Dogs I love mine I am a BIG animal lover but Evasion Reckless Driving risking the lives of other motorists excessive speeding (Just so you know even an emergency vehicle with someone dying in the back by law is ONLY allowed 10 miles over the speed limit to and from a call WITH lights flashing and this guy was going 40 over close to)why should a civilian be allowed to break the law when an ambulance or firetruck cannot?? endangering the life of the cop.... the guy displayed symptoms of drug induced or alcohal induced High... the Cop was serving and protecting had the guy ONLY been going 10-15 over....and had been rational no squealing and waving his arms the cop would have likely not been as brash... I dont agree with the ticket being waived but due to politics the Chief has to issue some form of punishment on the Officer which I feel is wrong. and while most say "Poor dog" and "Poor people" you dont see the potential rammifications of th situation had the man wrecked..Im sorry my life nor anyone elses is less important then an animal... I wont swerve to hit (I will slow and try to stop) I wont speed to get my pets to the vet I will go 10 over or so but thats the extent, I abide the law and dont endanger myself or others even for a beloved family pet.. the interview with the couple was unfair to the cop as well the people still failed to see where THEY were wrong it takes two to argue sure but the man was in the wrong I agree the guy should have had a living human in the car to warrant going that fast and even then could have gotten a police escort and slowed the speed down... Im sorry but the driver was in the wrong 100% and think on this, had the guy gone the speed limit.. by the time the cop finished writing the ticket...he would have been at the vet clinic.....did anyone take that into consideration? what you dont realize is what state of mind would you have been in if you as the cop had to chase someone 100mph down an interstate worried for other drivers not knowing what the issue was (ie emergancy were they evading did they rob a bank was someone hurt?) did you not think the cop didnt have adrenaline?? If it had been me....I would have drove them to the vet myself..then I would have arrested the guy, and I am sure most of you will think me cruel and heartless (At least I would have gotten the dog there) but the man broke several laws and Im sorry the Man should be punished the whole speeding was the cause for the dog dying not the officer delaying them I stand with the officer on this one, do I feel bad the dog died?? yes, my condolences..but do I feel bad for the couple?? No I think they got off easy....If I were the cop when the guy asked me what the hell my problem was I would NOT have waived the evasion...Again I would escort them and as soonas they were there arrested him, 12-24 in a cell would have situated that "what the h*ll is your problem" just goes to show do the speed limit...had they done that the dog would have lived or if they hadnt done excessive speeding would likely not have been pulled over... I know some of you are going to disagree but this is from the otherside of the fence.... could the cop use more tact?? yes...but the guy shouldnt have been doing what he was doing.... |

this goes to show take a pet first aid course... if your pets are family and THAT important then a few hours out of your day to learn CPR heimlich and first aid for your dog should not be anything at all right? I mean if you would be willing to jeopardize your life and others for the sake of your pet.. then what is a few Hours out of your life so that similar instances cannot be repeated? sure he lacked a lil tact but the officer was in the right on this one for pulling the guy over and questioning while trying to calm the guy down |

Quote: i wonder if the policeman would’ve delayed the man if it was a person he was rushing to save.
Actually I have seen a video taken from a dash cam where this elderly man was extremely speeding. The cop pulled him over and told him he needed to slow down and even made him get out of the car. The elderly man got out and pleaded with the cop to escort him to the hospital because his wife was have a HEART-ATTACK! The cop told him he couldn’t do that. He said the gentleman should have called an ambulance. Then the op proceeded to run the mans registration and license, write the man a ticket and tell him he better do the speed limit or he would go to jail. All the while the man was pleading and begging the op to help him. Needless to say the wife died, the gentleman sued the cop, and the cop was released from the force due to "unrelated events".
