Heroes Shoot A Dog (Again)

After coming home from church on Wednesday night, an Owasso, Oklahoma family was disturbed to find their family dog bleeding on the porch from a gunshot wound.

The German Shepherd named Bruno had suffered a single gunshot wound that shattered its shoulder from a deputy with the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office. Shockingly, instead to seeking medical attention for the animal, the officer simply attached a note to the front door and left it to suffer.

The note relayed this message:

We were investigating a crime and a dog attacked our deputy. The dog was shot and we need you to call us.

“They left him bleeding. He was here almost three hours bleeding,” the dog’s owner, Angie Laymon said. “It’s just not fair. He’s part of our family.”

Laymon said the animal was first found by her young children who called to tell her what happened. She said she then called the sheriff’s office which told her that the animal attacked the deputy.

“I said ‘did he bite him?’” Laymon said. “He said, ‘well he felt threatened.’”

This just entrenches and expands what most of us already know, our civilian police force is in decedent decay. For an LE agency to accept and even defend ANYONE who thinks that this dog could tell the difference between a GD cop and any other intruder is all the reason a responsible person needs to know to agree.
It's incidents like this that unite people against cops, their ways, their oversteps, their attitude, their service to the community. More then you know are questioning your actions these days LE.
