A dog was playing in its yard with its family. Then a cop shot it to death.

As the dog was running away, he fired twice - in front of two young kids. This Cop Shot a Family's Dog in Front of Two Children Shortly After Hitting Another Dog with His Car Sign Now    Arfin, A police officer in Iowa just shot a family's two-year old dog to death — right in front of two kids and a mom. And all this happened a few weeks after he killed another dog with his police cruiser, which he described to a colleague as "smoking a dog." Yet the Davenport, Iowa police department is claiming that he did nothing wrong, and he has faced zero consequences. During this most recent incident, officers had received a call about four dogs wandering the neighborhood and appearing aggressive. This cop never found those dogs. Instead, he slowly pulled into an alley alongside a family's home where two elementary school-aged children were playing with their black lab, Myst, in the yard. Myst ran up to inspect the cop, sniff him, bark a bit, and ran away back towards the house. Then, the dog ran away and back towards its family. That's when the officer opened fire.   He fired two shots from far away, even though he could have easily hit the children or mother. Myst the dog cried out, writhed in pain, and slowly died in front of the young boys. This violent, trigger-happy man is not safe to be roaming the streets! A coward and a bully on a huge power trip should never have access to a gun — much less be on the police force. Sign the petition to send this reckless, dog-murdering man to prison! He should be fired from the Davenport Police Department and arrested for his brutality towards animals.   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The dog was running away from him and was only a few feet from two young kids and a mom when the officer fired twice. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
