Let the homeowner go, put the police chief in jail.

So IF this is true (officer asked to leave, officer points gun at homeowner and dog, police chief says "shoot the dog") -- then MAYBE it was justified for the homeowner to shoot the officer?
This is just a disturbance. No reason for force or for him to remain on the property if the owner wants him gone. The officer is now trespassing on private property.
.He was attempting to use his Taser to subdue the dogs when their owner appeared and shot him without warning
Police Chief George Bruneio, who arrived after Mr Lasso requested assistance, instructed him to 'shoot the dogs' and that's when the homeowner pulled out a shotgun and fired, authorities said.
That is the law of the land my friend and you can disagree until your butt turns blue, it will still be the law
Shooting to protect property is not legal, if you were in imminent danger of being killed you can protect yourself.Animals are not just property are they would not be protected. In Africa you get shot just being caught in a game reserve. Here Bald eagles are protected as well as deer, elk, bear, cougar, cows, and so on. Shoot a cop dog and see if it is just property and steal a dog with a value of over a $1000 dollars and watch what happens.
Plus we have a right to protect our property don't we? I think we can...............
pchewn,
Just because someone asks, tells, orders or otherwise instructs a police officer to leave doesn't mean that police officer has to leave. .
Puma, if a landowner tells a police officer to leave, he MUST leave unless he has a warrent, or observes a criminal offence in process...that is LAW. I know a lot of the police these days do not think they have to follow the written law, but that is the law.
If you, as a police office, are investigating a complaint, and the land owner tells you to leave, and you think you have more business there, I would strongly suggest you leave and go get a warrent, then come back and continue your investigation...that is if you want any evidence gathered to be worth presenting in court at trial.
Interestingly the UK article seems much less biased than the ones I found in the USA. The USA articles seemed to convict the shooter, and some of them specifically brought up his guilty plea on charges from years ago. What does that have to do with anything?
Wow, are you wrong. If the officer was called for a domestic disturbance, he has to be sure everything is OK before he leaves and he has a right and a duty to investigate until he's satisfied.
Did you know that domestic disturbance calls are the most dangerous calls that cops get? This one kind of makes the point. They often run into people who are high on drugs or adrenaline or both, and in a very angry mood.
Get this. I don't like cops. I mean, I really don't like cops. That doesn't mean I'd have the guts to shoot one, especially when he's in the line of duty. I really don't want to go to prison or worse. This shooter is in a world of hurts and I wouldn't want to be him.
