Family says sheriff's deputy in Monroe shot pit bull

The 4-year-old dog, Emmalena, was outside of a residence on Oakwood Trail when the family representative says the deputy arrived to serve legal papers to someone who moved six years ago.

Wow.

That poor family and their dog.

Pretty tough dog to take 3 shots!

I'm sure it will never be the same again. It's life is likely going to be painful and I doubt it ends up anywhere near what it was prior to the deputy shooting it.

Normally a "Process Server" serves legal papers to those being served. I would think it a bit strange for a deputy to be serving legal documents...

Jesus Christ.

Starting to think we need to start making "dog person" a condition of employment for all LEOs. Or make them work as a package delivery person for a year or something. It's not that hard to de-escalate a dog situation.

Most Sheriff's departments in NY have a Civil division that does exactly that.

Most Sheriff departments have a few Deputy's on Civil division.

Maybe the family of this dog should set up a conversation with this Deputy when he is off duty, maybe a cup of coffee.

A coffee enema can be good for the soul, but it will take a bit more than a cup.

Amazing how UPS, FedEx, the cable guy, Amazon, the meter readers, Jehovas witnesses, door to door salesmen and the mailman never seem to need to do this.

They'd all be fired and probably prosecuted if they had to resort to shooting a dog, instead of just calling animal control.

This is a major culture and entitlement problem.

Due to the power society has conferred on them cops should be held to a higher standard than everyone on that list above, not a lower standard.

I was not referring to an enema. I wonder the toughness of these dog shooters outside of their work environment

Couple years ago, I was "attacked" by a dog while at work. I kicked it in the face and he ran off.

Me too

How many shots fired? How many mags emptied. 3 hits and ?15 misses?

In my county, you go to the county website and look up the property and if you are a govt official or realtor, you have access to property owner info. Doing your homework/JOB before you show up is important. Just like responding to the wrong address because you did not bother to look at google maps or the county ems mapping to make sure you are at the right residence before kicking in the door or harassing the wrong people because of a 911 call for the disturbance next door.

I have been bit before and needed stiches, so I would also be afraid, but I would hope that some situational awareness would result in retreat, use of the radio and hit the siren, etc. in this non-emergency situation and then a call to animal control rather than drawing and firing because I was scared. This department needs to have more training (including by animal control for what to look for and how to act) and more consequences for live fire against pets. Most pitties are not a problem, but even the aggressive ones are not going to bite you through your car door.

It is the difference in attitude between a servants heart and an attitude of entitlement that builds trust in law enforcement by the community or breeds animosity. Actions have consequences. Shoot or don't shoot? Be ready because you can't put the bullets back once they come out the business end of the gun. The dog will be damaged forever and a lasting emotional scar and financial consequence has been visited upon the family because the Service requester, Sheriffs Dept. and the Officer did not do their due diligence.

Allowed to, and do are not the same thing.

I know I sure as hell wouldn't be delivering in some neighborhoods unarmed.

Trigger happy scumbag should lose his job. Why not pepper spray?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Tragic. You all know how I feel about animals (not the cop). Why exactly isn't the cop personally paying for the medical bills?

I had my divorce papers served by an off duty cop. Most likely a side gig to make extra money I'd guess.
