An Arkansas police officer has been fired for firing his service weapon at a 10 pound dog.<\/p>\n
In the video, two dogs are seeing running around, and when the pup comes barking by the cop, he shoots it. The dog then begins to roll around in pain.<\/p>\n
I didn’t listen to the audio of the video, and I didn’t watch the whole thing. But I saw enough to become horribly disturbed. This dog posed no real threat to this cop, yet he decided to shoot the little guy.<\/p>\n
It appears he was fired because he fired his weapon around civilians, rather than for shooting the dog. However, I’ll take it as a win. Anything to get this trash off the force.<\/p>\n
The one good piece of news about this is that the dog survived and is currently recovering from a shattered jaw from the gunshot wound.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors are looking into whether or not they will file criminal charges. In my opinion they should. Who in their right mind shoots a 10 pound dog for barking? Especially a law enforcement official! I hate people who abuse animals, they make me sick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
