A Cleveland police officer fatally shot a family's one-year-old yellow labrador dog while it was tied to a leash.
On June 12, Tyler Muzzi returned home after lunch to discover a stranger walking back and forth outside his neighbor's home. Muzzi saw the man walk up the neighbor's driveway twice before disappearing around the opposite side of the home. Muzzi alerted the homeowner, Bryant Steele, who then called the Cleveland police.The police arrived at Steele's home within minutes and arrested the man, who had entered his house but exited to give himself up to police.
Assuming that police were finished with the scene, Muzzi said he was surprised to hear gunshots later. Unsure of where the shots were fired, Muzzi opened his front door to see what had happened. "At first, I thought I had heard only two shots, but there were actually three that had been fired," said Muzzi. "I thought they had shot the man in custody or something."
An officer told Muzzi that his yellow labrador was shot and that he needed to check on the dog. Muzzi rushed to his backyard to find his dog, Miller, injured, while the officers and the investigator who shot the dog looked on silently, hesaid. The dog had been tied to a leash before the police arrived on scene. When he saw his dog lying on the ground wounded, Muzzi said he was in complete shock. Quickly, he wrapped his dog in towels and called the Cleveland Pet Clinic to say that he was coming with his injured dog. The police called animal control which arrived to help Muzzi transport his dog to the vet. The veterinarians found that Miller's spine had been severed in two places. Shortly after, the dog died.
Muzzi said the police officer who shot the dog apologized to Muzzi and told him that he felt threatened and didn't see the leash, but later on, Cleveland Police Chief Charles Bingham told Muzzi and his wife Bethany that the investigator saw the leash but had the right to shoot the dog since he felt threatened.
They protected and served the hell out of that mean vicious lab

I hope that they get him a new Lab puppy and pay for all expenses, that is the least they can do.

Good shoot.
It was probably a black dog. And it was reported to be armed.

I know him. As much money and pull the Muzzi family has around here, that cop will never see another day on the job when it's all said and done.

I was looking for information regarding calibers for handguns not too long ago. Found this little gem of cops discussing handgun calibers, thought TD would appreciate.

The dog was tied on a "run" so to speak. Harmless dog, and probably the only thing keeping the burglars out of his yard. Heard about this firsthand

The part that got me was he told the family he did not see the leash. Then he tells his boss he did see the leash. I thought cops were always honest???
. How does someone shoot a lab on a leash. I guess moving/pinned down targets are hard to come by.

Another dumbass chicken shite cop, all cops should have to pass a stringent entrance exam and a complete psych profile.

As many adverse confrontations with dogs of all makes and models as I've had, and having been armed when having said confrontations on several occasions, and been bitten, I have never, ever felt the need to kill one when it was after me. Ever.
I would feel even less so if there was someone there with me.
And even less so if it was a Labrador Retriever.
And even less so if I was in someone's backyard when said confrontation occurred as dogs do what they know-protect.
AND EVEN LESS SO IF IT WAS ON A MUTHAFRICKIN LEASH.

Cops...hating black people & dogs since...forever.
Which is kinda funny, because the only thing that hates black people more than cops is probably dogs.

That cop needs to man up and look the kids in the eye and explain to them why he shot their family pet.

I would like to think that if I were a cop and had killed someone's family pet in a scenario like that, I would absolutely apologize to the family and do whatever I could to make it right for them.

I guess they were pissed Lebron didn't bring home the trophy but they should have shot Lebron & not the dog.
