Question--why are cops such a bunch of cowards? When police officers shoot dogs, departments usually deem the shooting justified if the officer felt threatened by the animal. But an officers perception doesnt always mean the animal actually was a threat. In recent years, police officers have shot and killed chihuahuas, miniature dachshunds, Wheaton terriers, and Jack Russell terriers. Last month, a California police officer shot and killed a boxer puppy and pregnant chihuahua, claiming the boxer had threatened him. The chihuahua, he said, got caught in the crossfire. When a San Bernardino, Calif., woman called police to report a burglary in progress behind her house last month, they responded, jumped her fence to confront the burglars, then shot her dalmatian mix, Julio. He survived. Police officers have also recently shot dogs that were chained, tied, or leashed -- obviously posing no real threat to officers who killed them. huffingtonpost/2012/04/27/cop-shoots-dog-puppycide_n_1446841.html?utm_hp_ref=police-brutality
