@ Bill, all I can say is wow , how do you keep coming up with this liberal business. Please read the article a little slower that may help you understand. The owner knew the dogs where aggressive but let them of leash. The firefighter was simply trying to do his job and at minimum do a welfare check on her to make sure she wasn’t injured or even suffered from a pre existing condition. I’ve read enough of your comments in the past to know you’d be the first to post a negative comment, had the firefighter or deputy just left the scene and something critically was wrong with the woman or even possibly deceased. The deputy absolutely did the right thing. But I always enjoy reading your post with your vast experience.

@Greayson, did you even read the article. There was an elderly female who was somewhat trapped inside the RV. The suspect had the dogs on a leash then removed the leash knowing the dogs were aggressive. The dog attacked a firefighter who was there to help. The deputy shot the dog who had been cut loose by the owner . The owner suspect is at fault here he could have simply left the dogs on the leash and stepped back to calm the dogs, but he chose to remove their leashes. The owner suspect was already in an agitated state which I’m sure the dog sensed. Meanwhile the elderly lady still hasn’t been helped or received any medical attention, what a wonderful son he is . Yep the deputy did as he should have and shot the dog, I can promise you I won’t be bit by a dog especially when released by a careless irresponsible pet owner .

He should not have shot the dog if you are going to go and try to arrest a guy or even talk to him and you know they have protective dogs then it is not the owner’s fault. just imagine if I walk up to you and you have some protective dogs and they bite me then somebody shoots him will you be mad? That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a cop someone who protects us as United States citizens is going to shoot a protective dog i understand the guy being resistant but I do not understand the dog at all.

Sounds like the second dog should’ve been shot the moment the owner used it as a weapon to prevent arrest.

@Bill-ever been bit by a big aggressive dog? Ever been threatened to have a big aggressive dog unleashed on you while you were trying to do your job?

@bewildered-maybe learn the definition of a motor vehicle accident and understand a wrecker ain’t towing a vehicle if people are in it; a thing called liability.

‘Sovereign citizen’. Funny. How’d that work out for him?

Bill, I might be misunderstanding your comment but I did not read anything in this story that said the owner of the dog was in danger for dog to protect. The dog attacked someone that was not a threat and the deputy shot the dog. That dog was aggressive and the incident of the dog attacking was uncalled for. Job well done deputy.

This man should have never took his dog off leash. I have a pit and I go through extra measure to make shore that she is leashed at all times. I tell people they can not interact with her in public. Florida law states a Six foot leash. I expect her to be under my control. My dog will not be put into the position this man put his dog into . Because I value her life more alot more than a lot of these two legged dunces like the man in this rv.

@Bill…. I am with u on cops shoot 1st , ask questions Never.. The cop told him to remove the mom and dogs from the RV , after he told him his mom and 2 aggressive dogs were in there.. In the safety of the dwelling is where they should have stayed! However , since Mr. Long chose to listen to this dumbazz and get the dogs out, the next step should have been to keep them on leash.. Finally, when the dog knocked the guy down, why was the owner not allowed to get his dog!?! Part of me wants to be ok with it bc it was a bulldog. I will not allow 1 on my hill. I do not like them bc they can not be trusted around other animals.. But that man must have loved the dog to get that upset over it getting shot .. Everybody can point fingers and blame the man , the dog, or the man for having the dog. But at the end of the day, IT WAS THE COPS FAULT FOR HAVING HIM REMOVE THE DOGS FROM THE SAFETY OF THE RV . POINT BLANK. PERIOD.! None of it would have even happened if the cop had not instructed the man to get the dogs out.. But I’m sure if the man had said no, there may have been trouble by not doing what he was told.. Police completely at fault on this one.. THEN the owner
