nucklehead Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Situation avoidable in so many ways. -Why are you parking illegally in front of your own house? -Why does parking ticket vendor need a gun? -Why was the bull terrier loose? Esp. a 7 month old one. Big enough to do damage, dumb enough to try. -Why was the first instinct to shoot the dog? -Where was the owner during the shooting? Shouldn't he be right there next to the dog if it's loose? They're lucky the dog lived. Maybe next time everyone involved can act a lot more responsibly.

Primus099 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Have you ever had a dog? Mine follows no matter where I go, even sits outside the bathroom waiting when I am taking a dump. That's what good dogs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The dog was double parked. It got what it deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Keep your dogs on a leash. Why is that so hard to understand. Not saying the officer was right in shooting but it seems like the animal should have been easily controlled preventing this whole drama in the first place.

SterlingArcher Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Cop must of been playing call of duty before his shift. First reaction is to shoot the dog before it attacks you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokasmoka Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The story from Colorado is way worse. I seriously hope someone kills that cop, he has no place in society. Hope he dies a very painful death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The owners have now filed a lawsuit for the actions of Officer Brandon (Quick Draw) Pettigrew and alleged subsequent threats and intimidation. A complaint has also been filed with the Chicago Police Department and an investigation is under way: "Absolutely irresponsible" is how Al Phillips describes Brandon Pettigrew, the Chicago police officer who shot his prize puppy while writing a ticket Saturday. Now, Phillips and his wife Barbara are suing the city. In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court, the owners of the wounded seven-month-old miniature bull terrier named Colonel, allege injury to their dog and emotional distress, reports Fox Chicago. In addition, the couple claims retaliation and intimidation from police after they spoke to the media about the incident. "The main goal of the Phillips family is to make sure that this doesn't happen again," Michael Lamonica, the family's attorney, explained to the station. "It's obviously unacceptable for police officers to be shooting animals, especially animals that aren't doing anything to deserve it." … Complicating matters, a sergeant and lieutenant came to the Phillips' home two days after the incident and cited the family for having a dog off the leash at the time of the incident, according to DNA. The Phillips lawsuit says the officers questioned why the family went to the media. The Phillips also filed a complaint with the Police Department, according to CBS Chicago, and want to see sanctions against Pettigrew, as well. “That this person is allowed to carry a gun, I believe is absolutely irresponsible,” Al Phillips told CBS. Neighbors are concerned about who else could have been hit during the incident, reports WGN, while the Chicago Police Department has kept mum, saying only that the Independent Police Review Authority is investigating the matter. http://www.huffingto..._n_2245215.htmlhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/05/puppy-shot-by-chicago-cop_n_2245215.html' rel="external nofollow"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
