Yes, definitely need exact details before a proper judgement about the officer's action should be made.

I wasn't there nor is there a video to watch recounting it....so I truly have no opinion without all the facts....

I would like to know where the playground and kids were in relation to his line of fire though....and what transpired to pulling his sidearm on the dogs....were they charging him or running away? Was his concern for his own safety or the safety of others or both?

When they say he" shot from his car"....was he shooting out the window of a moving or stationary car?.....if this was the case I don't think he was concerned for his safety....if I was sitting in a car with a gun a grizzly wouldn't make me feel "unsafe"...an elephant maybe

They brought in a police sniper. Situation was getting really heated.

This is a perfect example of the need for a dog registry.
Take the dang serial numbers and call for an RO. Think of the lives it would save.

You know fish and wildlife officers use bear spray on bears, yet a cop uses a gun on a dog..something doesn't sound right to me.

I did not know that Calgary police are trained with Knife even

and I did not know that F and W use bear spray

How about one that naws on your legs breaking skin I have had it happen no stitches but I can still see where the fang marks are on the scars.

I love dogs don't get me wrong but if it was kid instead of me they would of been in big trouble

Here's the official kit for the on-the-school-yard beat of the average CPS officer.

- 1 regulation flak jacket designed to repel bullets from gang bangers guns. But apparently not Labrador retriever incisors.

- 2 large police boots with re-enforced toes that when applied with force to an advancing Labrador retriever's chest cause said dog to emit an "offf" and have second thoughts.

- 1 three-battery rubber-encased flashlight attached to belt when grasped in hand and applied to approaching dog's noggin causes said animal to realize it has better things to.

- 2 stab-proof-certified gloves to protect wearer from hypodermic needles, belt knives and crack head bites. But apparently not Labrador retriever teeth.

- 6 months intensive training at the CPS academy where expert instructors drill recruits in all forms or hand-to-hand combat and self defence techniques.

- 1 regulation side arm to be unholstered and employed in only the most extreme circumstances when the peace officer believe his/her life is in peril.

Like when there's a wild pack of Labrador retrievers on the loose.

in calgary there is a dog registry .

the owner of one dog will be charged because of no license

this shows that registering dogs is useless to prevent this kinda thing as the bad dog was not registered .

Lefty-Canuck · #73 03-16-2012, 05:26 PM

We NEED Beeguy in on this.....he will have ALL the answers to this issue....

If the dog is not registered...and the owner does not come forward how do we know who owns the dog?......just cause that dog follows the other one around doesn't mean anyone owns the unregistered dog ??....right???

>>> And what does all this get us? Discharging a firearm in a residential neighbourhood, because of a couple of labs. Waste of taxpayers money, academy time and generally just another example of FAIL.

Suggest this officer transfer to RCMP, Vancouver Airport detachment. expensively (un)trained like minded cowards work there too...

Why would you want a proper investigation to be done? Seems like you have allready decided for yourself that disciplinary action should be taken to ensure
he never does something as careless and reckless as that again. It is obvious that you do not want an investigation that may determine something else.

Cat would be a better comment on this than me but it's my understanding that a police officer must re-certify at the range every few months or so if he/she wants maintain their firearm status.
They're not supposed to MISS!!!! That's what the range time is all about.

leeaspell · #84 03-16-2012, 05:43 PM

I wonder how much the cops paid the parents to get the kid to say that. Stinks of conspiracy to me.

Tinfoil hat on lol

the mom seemed to be coaching him . the dog 's lawyer will have a hay day with that footage .

Redfrog · #86 03-16-2012, 05:48 PM

So let me get this straight.

So far we know a five year old drug pusher was involved in a police incident in the downtown area where a single police officer took down two meth labs in a violent gun battle.

I hate the violence in the city.

Hey Gus your back.

Hope your feeling better.

NewAlbertan · #90 03-16-2012, 05:59 PM

according to headlines "Police forced to shoot at dog".
Forced. He had NO options but to use his ultimate tool.

"if the dog is on the member, or trying to bite them member..." Said the cops PR person. I'd sure be upset if my dog bit my member...

Thankfully the frightened dogs were captured by animal control professionals.
$200 per dog penalty for 'threatening".

Also, George Clooney was arrested. It hasn't been confirmed if he owns dogs.

In other news... new iPad is for sale.
