Current Events > Man angry after cop shoots small pet dog in front of 5-year-old little boy.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A dog owner is demanding accountability after a sheriffs deputy shot and killed his pet inside his home.

Its about justice for my dog, said Troy Ennis about his pit bull/hound mix named D. He was trying to play, and he got shot.

Durham County sheriffs deputies got a call on Feb. 26 regarding a domestic situation at Enniss home on the 100 block of Waltz Drive.

The sheriffs office released about two minutes of dash cam video around the time deputies arrived. In the video, you hear a deputy say, Can you put these dogs up? He goes on to say, Came right at me, slammed the door in his face.

Another deputy responds, I thought you were going to smoke him.

The first deputy says, I almost did.

The video does not show what happened inside the home. Ennis says one dog was placed in a crate while D was placed in a bedroom. Ennis says he turned and thats when D went around him toward the deputies.

I was reaching trying to grab him. And thats when, bam! And, Im like, You just shot my dog, recalled Ennis. I couldnt believe it. I was reaching for him. I wasnt touching him, but I had my hands right at his hips to pull him back. And, it was too late.

The shooting happened in front of a 5-year-old boy.

In an email, a spokeswoman for the sheriffs office said the 58-pound dog charged aggressively, and that the dog lunged at the deputys face.

Tamara Gibbs wrote, As with all grievances, the Sheriffs Office is conducting a thorough review of the events leading up to the shooting incident. That internal investigation is incomplete and ongoing at this time.

Ennis said hes been in touch with the sheriffs office since the incident. He said a captain told him hed get more information by Tuesday. When that didnt happen, Ennis contacted media outlets about the situation.

He just loved all people, all people, said Ennis. I think the dog saw him and wanted to play. The dog played with the kids, with those Nerf guns all the time trying to catch the darts.

The sheriffs office did not identify the deputy who shot the dog. Ennis said hed like to see that deputy disciplined or go through additional training.

Make a clickbait topic, then act a clown.

Eventually: "The Durham County Sheriff's Office has made an internal investigation and has ruled that the deputy was in the right for blah blah blah..."

Funny how cops can kill your dog for any reason and get away with it yet in a lot of places killing a police dog is a felony.

What should be included in the test to become a cop to help ensure that pussies stop being hired? Timid and often obese lowlives.

Remember when cops would grab a stick and lure the dog away, even if it was growling?

It was once a thing.

They also used to take pride in being able to chase someone down and tackle them rather than tasing or shooting them. Now fitness doesn't seem to fit their schedule.

He should have secured his dog.

Fair, next

Funny how you never hear about plumbers or landscapers or the UPS guy never being so terrified of dogs that they need to shoot them. Out of all those professions that conduct their business in the homes of other people it's just the cops that are shooting people's dogs.

you don't pursue a career where you get to walk around town with a gun to not shoot it

imagine how disillusioned and frustrated so many of these guys must be after some years on the force and they find they haven't had the opportunity to kill anything yet

suddenly people's excitable pets start to look like tempting targets

Looks like a pit so Id assume everyone here will say fair next.

Sorry dog owner, but an officer isn't at Liberty to discuss the merits of whether a dog wants to play with him or not. It apparently acted in an aggressive manner, lunging towards the officer.

Meanwhile if a military officer shot a police dog that ran towards him, it would be a felony and considered murder of a cop.

Yes. That is correct. There's also a presumption that because the dog is a police dog, he is adequately trained to respond to high pressure situations in a decisive manner. It's not some random guy's pet.

"Because it's a police dog, it's a competent decision maker."

Cops are pussies.

"Because it's a police dog, it's a competent decision maker."

Because it's a police dog, there's a reasonable expectation of training and discipline involved. Sorry you decided to read something completely different from what I said.

The fact that he didnt put his dogs away is really shortsighted on his part

I would have killed that cop for killing my dog, brutally at that, there was no reason for the cop to execute that dog.

I feel bad for the kid eho saw this cop kill the family pet.

Then you go to federal pound you in the ass prison, for life, over an animal that lives at best for 15 years. But if you think that's worth it, sure.

You've never had a loyal dog that you loved so much you considered part of your family

Of course. Doesn't mean I'm willing to give up my freedom for them though because at the end of the day they're still just animals.

@voldothegr8

No cop is going to kill my pet and not have serious consequences, that is my family member they killed.

Too many cops get away with killing pets for no reason other then I felt threatened even when it is secure in a cage.
---

The public is steadily losing their faith in police and there is a dangerous mistrust. The more fucked up shit that keeps on happening and leading to not guilty verdicts or being thrown out are going to eventually lead to people snapping and vigilante justice growing rapidly.

In case anyone needs it clarified, that's a bad thing.

I would cause no one gets to kill my pet and not have anything happen.

The police did not always kill pets, that shit is only recent, they used to get a stick and throw it, let you lock them up somewhere, or tell you to put your dog away.

This new bs of cops being able to just kill peoples pets is unfucking acceptable and people NEED to put a stop to it one way or another.

Also shooting people that are running away because they are either too fat or too lazy to chase them down.

Thats called murder, just cause a cop does it doesnt change the fact that they murdered someone.

Shooting pets needs to stop, unless there legitimately is a danger.

On the other hand, shooting a fleeing criminal is fine. If they have nothing to hide, they won't flee. If they get away, they remain a danger to the community. Non-fatal shots should be preferred when possible, but if you have to kill them... no big deal.

@Darktransient

Most times cops shoot to kill unarmed fleeing criminals not shooting to wound, that is fucked up and wrong. Yes the criminal should not flee but it does not give a cop the right to kill them if they do.

If they can reasonably apprehend the criminal, then they should not kill. If they must injure them in the process, that's fine. And if their only option is to kill, or if they accidentally kill while only intending to wound, that's fine too. Don't flee and you won't have that problem. And if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have no reason to flee - don't buy into the lies BLM and the like tell you about "if you comply you're going to get shot", they WANT you to flee so that when you DO get shot for that, they can parade you around as an example of why police are "bad".

Although I'll gladly admit that my main reason for "they should apprehend rather than kill" is because ideally, after being apprehended they should receive a REAL punishment. At the very least, several years of hard labor. Wouldn't personally object to torture either, if the offence is serious enough. (Perhaps not for minor things like a bar fight, though.)

This is why I have zero respect for dog owners.

I am against the hate group BLM just so you know.

Very small

I just assumed that a trained police officer wouldnt kill a dog at a whim but id be wrong.

And let the dog bite you first. If i saw a bad dog bite it would be evidence of the dog being agressive and the shot being justified.

Hey my wife aggressively charged me. Had to shoot her dead.

Yeah cops will shoot any dog that even attempts to walk towards them and claim they were in danger. Police are way too trigger happy in America

Lemme guess, they feared for their lives
