good shoot ? An Anchorage police officer shot an aggressive dog Friday night while trying to arrest its owner at his Sand Lake home, a police spokesman said. The dog, a pit bull named Blue, was later euthanized, police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said. A woman called police dispatchers about 6:20 p.m. saying Lydell Butler, 22, had sent her a text message, violating a domestic violence restraining order she'd filed against him, Parker said. Two officers drove to Butler's home in the 7300 block of Bearfoot Circle when they learned he had warrants for his arrest on outstanding burglary, assault and criminal mischief charges, the police spokesman said. "They identified him, they talked to him. He'd tell them that he was coming out, but he wouldn't come out," Parker said. "Ultimately, he released the pit bull out the back door, and he said, 'Here, have my dog.' " An officer closest to the door was worried about the brown pit bull biting her, and another officer moved in to help, Parker said. That officer put out his hand for the dog to smell, but it snapped at him, Parker said. "It lunged at the officer with its mouth open and attempted to bite the officer two times before the officer decided to shoot the dog, to avoid injury to himself and his fellow officer," Parker said. "The dog was located, bleeding heavily on a neighbor's porch. The officers took it immediately to Pet Emergency, and it had to be euthanized." Two other officers talked Butler out of the home about 7:30 p.m. and arrested him for the warrants and on additional charges of assault, resisting arrest and violating a domestic violence restraining order. His bail was set at $5,000 cash. |

Based on the article I have to go with good shoot.
Dog owner should also be shot for sending the dog out to attack police or get shot trying... ETA Police handled it well and I wish all others would do the same. It could mean the difference between my dog getting shot or a police officer getting his/her hand licked to death should they ever come across my dog. |

But I did notice the article pointed it out to be a pitbull. Why do dumbasses have to take good dogs down that road. I hope the euthanize the owner. Fuckhead. Because if it was a Pekinese that tried to bite the cop, nobody would say, "Good shoot". It does make a difference. |

At least they tried to interact with it before they shot it, plus they took it to an animal hospital. Owner is squarely to blame on this one not the cops. Yep. Cops did everything right, maybe even going above and beyond. They missed one thing...they should have beat the owner for getting his dog killed. Poor dog 
Kudos for them for taking the dog to the vet. |

Everybody is in agreement that it was a good shoot. Yet there is still butthurt due to the lack of opportunity to be buttburt.  Sounds like everyone agrees that there are circumstances in which dog shooting is justified. However, the Thin Blue Whine* will categorically ignore that fact. *The crew that says GD is full of anarchists and criminals because we don't applaud Officer Dipshit climbing a fence into the property of an uninvolved party and then doing a mag dump on a hapless Lhasa Apso because it had the temerity to bark at an agent of the law

This cracks me up. The thought process that goes into "Well, let's see... I've got multiple warrants on me for violent crimes, but the cops aren't bothering me. I'll just violate this little restraining order..."

looks like they made an effort not to shoot it first.
Should have used this one that happened today op. http://www.theleafchronicle.com/article/20121119/NEWS01/311190025/Dog-shot-head-by-police-officer?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Frontpage |
