The dog didn't show any signs of being aggressive or sick. The cop was obviously trigger happy.

This Cop should be fired. The poor animal wasn't a danger at all. I know a lot of cops that would agree with me.

Nope , I think the police department and mayor should be under investigations. How would he feel if his family dog was shot a stupid reason ? Oh I didn't know he was blind ? Really ok well what about a dog that's def gonna shoot it to cause it's acting weird? You need to be smarter then what you are

This officer, along with the Mayor, should be terminated. This poor dog was murdered. If he thought the dog was sick, he could have taken him for help. There was absolutely no excuse for shooting this tiny dog. The cop admits he wasn't afraid of being harmed. He got tired of chasing the poor thing,

I believe the video from the policeman's body camera is enough for a conviction.

The city of Columbia and Boone County have a terrible sense of justice. If, the cops don't let them go, the attorneys and judges will. If you look the shooter up on casenet, you will learn that they have pages of arrests and trial records, only to be given probation again and again.

I voted yes because there is shots fired daily. It's also a prosecutor and judge problem. We see people committing crimes that should already be in prison. All judges do is hand out street cred and prosecutors give plea deals.

As a corrections officer at a U.S. Marshall prison we use non lethal methods. These officers out numbered the subject, he didn't pose a threat, just because he had a knife wasn't warranted to use lethal force. They could have used tear gas, bean bag amo
